Request Bike Parking for your Business ![Untitled - August 16, 2026 at 16.08.31](https://www.sanpedroabq.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20-%20August%2016%2c%202026%20at%2016.08.31.png?width=500&height=500&name=Untitled%20-%20August%2016%2c%202026%20at%2016.08.31.png "Untitled - August 16, 2026 at 16.08.31") ## A bike rack out front is a customer at your door. #### **People who bike don't drive past — they stop.** #### But they only stop where they can safely park. A bike rack is a small, inexpensive piece of infrastructure that does something powerful: it invites someone in. Bikes Mean Business puts that welcome where it counts, along the San Pedro Main Street corridor. Bikes Mean Business is a program of the Revitalize San Pedro Partnership, a Main Street America–accredited nonprofit working to make the San Pedro Main Street corridor safer, more welcoming, and more economically resilient. Placing bike parking is one part of our broader work across physical improvements, business support, and placemaking on the corridor. ![Nobhill-25](https://www.sanpedroabq.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Nobhill-25.jpg?width=2000&height=1334&name=Nobhill-25.jpg "Nobhill-25") ![AARP Logo 2020_Red](https://www.sanpedroabq.org/hs-fs/hubfs/AARP%20Logo%202020_Red.png?width=640&height=165&name=AARP%20Logo%202020_Red.png) Financially supported by the AARP Community Challenge Flagship Grant ![league_logo_highres (1) copy](https://www.sanpedroabq.org/hs-fs/hubfs/league_logo_highres%20(1)%20copy.png?width=279&height=262&name=league_logo_highres%20(1)%20copy.png) National technical assistance provided by the League of American Bicyclists ![bike abq logo](https://www.sanpedroabq.org/hs-fs/hubfs/bike%20abq%20logo.png?width=400&height=400&name=bike%20abq%20logo.png) Local technical assistance provided by BikeABQ ## Why Bike Parking Works #### *The research is clear. * ### Good for Business Riders who can park are riders who stop, shop, and come back. Racks turn passing traffic into paying customers. ### Good for the Corridor More reasons to slow down and stay make San Pedro a destination — not a drive-through. ### Good for Everyone Safe, welcoming places to park mean more people, of every age, can get to local businesses however they roll. ### Return on Investment Madison, WI recorded a 3% increase in sales-tax revenue in areas where new bike racks were installed. Source: ChangeLab Solutions ### Returning Customers Spend More People who bike or walk to a commercial district tend to spend more per month than people who drive, because a shorter, easier trip means more frequent visits. Source: Studies in New York City, Toronto & Portland (Clifton/PSU; Clean Air Partnership; Bloomberg) ### Your curb, working harder Converting a single car parking space to bike parking can raise retail revenue by as much as 78% — roughly ten bikes fit where one car parks. League of American Bicyclists, "Bicycling Benefits Business" (2021), Raje & Saffrey (2016); University of Melbourne ### Better streets, steady sales Studies of commercial corridors find bike improvements have a positive or neutral effect on local sales and employment — one Minneapolis corridor saw food sales climb 52%. Source: PSU / PeopleForBikes National Street Improvements Study #### Recent Field Notes # Request a Bike Rack for Your Business Adding bike parking is one of the simplest ways to invite more customers to your door — and RSPP makes it easy. We coordinate siting, placement, and installation along the corridor. [![Revitalize San Pedro logo.
