Closing Bell: Bike Shelter Full Up
Looks like this bicycle parking shelter at DeKalb and Flatbush, as snapped by a reader last Friday, is pretty popular. The shelter is one of several the DOT’s installed around the city this year.

These were all paid for by CEMUSA along with the new bus shelters, the new newstands and new public toilets. In exchange they get to advertise.
Still want to complain about the millions and millions of dollars of free improvements to our city to GASP…make it look more like Europe!
These have to be absurdly expensive. Is this an “experiment”? Are we breaking new ground here? There’s no way the city can build shelters like these to fill the need. Queen Mike needs to put something fast and cheap to accomedate all the bikes out there.
Brooklyn is ready for this! More bikes…less fat people…less cars…less pollution!
Um…4:26…almost every civilized person I know thinks that many of the things they do in Europe are far superior to the way things are done here. I think these are terrific! And they are being used apparently, which is even better news.
I think these are fantastic but there should be a lot more of them.
I love these…
I think it’s almost laughable…space for about 8 bikes right across from a University ! Go figure. Also across the street from Fulton Mall.
Really looks out of place. These are the type of things they do in Europe. Is Brooklyn ready for this? How long will it last before someone starts complaining about their tax dollars going for a fancy bike rack?
