THE PROCESS
- Determine how much bike parking you want or need. Consider surveying employees or tenants to gauge interest, and refer to your local municipal code to determine if you are required to provide a certain amount of bike parking.
- Determine where to place bike parking. Generally, bike parking should be near main entrances, visible from the street, well-lit and in a higher-traffic area, if possible. Want help figuring out where to place a rack? Reach out for a consultation!
- GObike will provide a quote for your selected racks and installation and permitting, if necessary.
- After the quote is confirmed by your team, GObike will send an invoice. You’ll have two payments: the down payment is 50% of the rack cost and is due before we can place an order. The second payment is due after delivery, or installation if you choose to have us install your rack. This payment includes the remaining price of the rack, plus shipping and installation fees.
- Lead times on racks are generally 5-6 weeks. During this time, we’ll reach out to you to assist with completing permitting required by your municipality.
- Once the rack arrives, we’ll schedule a time that works for you to install your rack, if necessary.
