Previously, the closest place to lock up a bike was on the Walton Avenue side of the Bronx County Courthouse between 161st and 158th Streets, as seen here while the Bronx was mopping up from the last snowstorm in February:

Now, baseball fans who ride to the game will get better parking spaces than any motorist. Bike parking has been installed in the most prime spaces in the garage that has been built directly across 161st Street from the New Yankee Stadium's main entrance. The arrow in this photo below, taken from the 4-train platform at 161st & River, points to where the bike parking is located.

Here's a closer view of the garage, which has a park on its roof.

How much bike parking is in there? What form does it take? We're talking about more than a couple of racks. Here's are the best two photos I could get through the fence:



I counted 34 bike racks in the front, and another six around the corner, for a total of 40 racks. Each rack should hold four bikes comfortably, so the Yankees now have formal bike parking for 160 bikes. This seems like a great way to encourage fans to bike to the game, making what should be a natural link between healthy, invigorating transportation and watching a ball game.
