The Bike Station Program offers 2 types of secure bike parking facilities: Valet Stations and Controlled Access Stations.
Register online (coming soon) or in-person. Sign in and hand us your bike. It’s free, easy, and totally secure. Staff mechanics are available to service your bike while its parked!
Valet bike parking is free during the day. After a quick one-time registration, follow the steps below to use valet service:
It is easier to park your bike when: unused bags/baskets are closed and folded, helmets are buckled to the top frame of your bike, and loose items are secured.
Our space is optimized for traditional-sized bicycles. We may accommodate cargo bicycles when possible. We do not park scooters, recumbents, or other bikes that cannot safely fit in our racks. Gas motors are never permitted in the Station.
Available at: Downtown Berkeley, Fruitvale & Uptown
Our Controlled Access Bike Stations are available 21-24 hours a day (see below). Parking costs just 5¢/hr from 8am – 8pm weekdays, and 3¢/hr all other times.
Close the door behind you every time you enter or exit. DO NOT allow anyone else in or out. Each user must check-in and check-out with their own card.
Once inside, you have 10 minutes to remain in the station. Beyond this, an alarm will sound and we will be alerted of potential security breaches.
Always lock your bike. This is an unattended, shared-use facility.
Park for up to 10 days at a time. Overtime Rates apply. Bikes left longer may be considered abandoned.
Your bicycle must always be identified with your Bike Link ID Card Number. Use the sticker provided with your Bike Link card or a temporary hang tag provided in the station.
Available at: Downtown Berkeley, Pleasant Hill, Embarcadero, Ashby & Civic Center
Bike Link has a 24-hour customer service line for all access issues. (888) 540-0546
All of our rental bikes are equipped with the gear you need. Each bike comes with: helmet, lights, u-lock, a bag, and maps upon request.
Cost: $35 per day, $95 per week, $200 per month
Available at: Downtown Berkeley
Your bike is your set of wheels, and we’re here to keep you riding.
Simply tell our staff your problems and we’ll either perform an inspection on the spot or call you with an estimate. We try to conduct most repairs on the same day, while your bike is parked, but can schedule an appointment for another time if necessary.
Available at: Downtown Berkeley, Pleasant Hill, Fruitvale & Uptown
Valet stations are always free during the day. Our 24-hour controlled-access stations cost only 5¢/hr weekdays 8am – 8pm and 3¢/hr all other times. If you parked five days a week, 50 weeks a year, from 9am – 5pm, you’ll pay about $100 all year.
BART allocates funds from various transit authorities (such as MTC), federal funds to encourage transit (Safe Routes to Transit), and clean air agencies (BAAQM, CalTrans). BART also coordinates partnerships with cities to support the program. As the operator, our job is to reduce funding needs each year through sales and repairs.
To accommodate as many users as possible, and discourage long-term storage of bikes. Our model accommodates as many as 5 users for each parking space, maximizing usage while charging users less.
The smart card itself costs more than five dollars. This charge also covers administrative costs such as sticker printing, address verification, and postage.
BikeLink, a third-party company administers the user-management system. They provide 24-hour membership support and handle all requests and technical support-related issues. They collect all the parking fees.
The purpose of the Bike Station is to provide short-term secure bike parking. Long-term storage decreases the number of spaces available for use. Bikes parked overnight also increase the risk of theft.
We record each entry for accurate reports showing usage and pollution reduction. We will soon provide you access with your own usage reports.
