BikeWalkKC Launches New Bike Parking Program To Help Kansas City Businesses And Communities

Bicycle advocacy organization BikeWalkKC has partnered with Dero to help local businesses and communities meet bike parking needs.

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) - BikeWalkKC and Dero have teamed up to help Kansas City, Missouri companies and communities meet the growing demand for bike parking.

In Kansas City, the use of alternative modes of transportation is a growing trend. As new bike lanes and routes pop up throughout the region, demand for bicycle parking is on the rise as well. BikeWalkKC has partnered with Dero to accommodate these needs, providing new bike racks to business owners and community members at a competitive price. In addition, some of the proceeds of this transaction will directly enhance the biking culture of Kansas City.

Biking improves the quality of life and health of a community, and also helps the environment, but the benefits do not stop there. Statistics show that biking is incredibly beneficial to businesses. “Numerous studies have shown that bike traffic boosts the number of visits to local businesses,” states Shipley. “Increased accessibility of bike parking will allow these benefits to reach the Kansas City area.”

BikeWalkKC will help customers navigate Kansas City’s bike parking standards and permits, recommend quality bike racks to best meet their needs, and offer free site-visits. Installation is also available for an additional fee. BikeWalkKC can even help with customized bike parking designs.
