Community Events on Madison Streets

STEP 9: Bicycle Parking For Your Event

• The City of Madison recommends event organizers reserve space for bicycle parking for a minimum of 2% of the total expected crowd attendance.
• An average length of 6 feet and a width of 1-3/4 feet should be reserved for parking a single bicycle. An average of 10 bicycles will fit in 1 car parking spot.
• Bicycle parking should be visible from the main entrance to the event. If it is not possible to fit bicycle parking appropriately in your event area, consider using the parking lanes of streets immediately adjacent to the event area. In order to use the street area adjacent, you will need to include this information and request in your Street Use Application.
