Sponsored: Park your bike for just 5¢ an hour at dozens of transit stations across the region
Editor’s Note: This post was sponsored and reviewed by King County Metro. This is Seattle Bike Blog’s first ever sponsored post. We are very picky about who we partner with for sponsored posts, which is why this is the first one. We’ve received hundreds of sponsored post offers over the years and rejected them all. Metro wanted to spread the word about all the on-demand bike lockers around the region, a goal fully in line with our values and reader interests. Sponsored content will be rare and will always be clearly labeled. Thank you for reading, and thank you to King County Metro for sponsoring this post. Heading to Seattle for a World Cup game or watch party could be a great time to try out one of several dozen secure, on-demand bike parking facilities at transit stations across the region. Rather than circling for parking at a packed park-and-ride, go for a nice bike ride instead. Safely store your bike at the station, then take transit the rest of the way downtown without trying to bring your bike onto a busy train or a bus with limited bike rack spaces. Sure, you can lock your bike to a sign post or bike rack for free, but for only 5 cents per hour you can secure it in a bike locker or bike cage. In my experience, 5¢/hr is very little money for the peace of mind that my bike will be dry and waiting for me when I return. On World Cup match days, Sound Transit will waive the 5¢ cost for lockers and cages at Link and Sounder stations because they will not allow people to bring their bikes onto crowded trains those days.
