Bicycle Transit Center in DC


Via Hype Mulroney.

This bicycle station in Washington DC houses 150 bikes outside the Union Station. For a small daily fee or membership dues you can park your bike here in a semi enclosed area. Long Beach also has something similar but not nearly was architecturally developed. What blew me away is how anti bike station it really is from the outside. From the looks alone, it can easily be mistaken as an art installation. Then when you read about how a bicycle wheel influenced the structural design, it just makes it so right.
