NEW Bicycle Racks

Over a hundred bike racks were recently installed on Main Street at various locations where either businesses personally requested them or where the existing racks were heavily used. More racks will be installed along commercial corridors citywide, including Montana Avenue and Downtown. This effort is just another part of making Santa Monica more bike-friendly!
