Metro Bike Locker Program

Great bike locker program for people who wants to bike to the Metro station, park their bikes in these lockers and then take the train to work. The lockers seem pretty sturdy and can shield the bike from certain elements (sun, light rain, etc). The only concern I have is the size since my bike is a pretty small bike so it fits in there just fine. People with bigger bikes (ie. road bikes, mountain bikes, fixies, etc.) may want to drop by and measure the locker first to make sure their bikes will fit.
Another issue is the availability. Currently Metro only has these lockers in small numbers available in each station (some stations have zero!). If you want to get one, you’d have to go on their website and reserve it (
) but currently they’re all full and you’ll have to apply to be on the waiting list which could take months or even years in some locations!
The rental cost is approximately $ 24 for six (6) months. A $ 50 deposit is required for the locker key, which is reimbursed when you no longer use the locker. They’ll mail you the locker key (see attached pictures) and if you lost it they can issue a replacement but will probably charge a small fee for it.
The location of these lockers varied by each station. Some are right next to the bike path (Santa Monica station) and some are out of the way, (West L.A. stations).

This last year has been an exciting time for bicyclists and the Metro Bike Priogram. Growing numbers of people are starting to commute by bicycle.
This is reflected in the Metro Bike Locker Program. You may or may not realise that at various train stations throughout Los Angeles you there are bike lockers that you can rent. They are awesome when you combine your bike commute with a ride on the green line, for example. All you do is ride up to your locker, unlock it and throuw your bike in, then lock it up. Your bike is safe and secure from thieves and the weather-​a plus when you are close to the salt air ocean.
I find these lockers great when I want to go downtown or even to the air port. It’s nice to not have to waste time locking up my bike and keeping a spare tube or two in my locker in case of a flat. And since you are drving you never have to worry about a parking space.
You have to rent these lockers by the year. The cost is $ 50 a year-​much cheaper than parking your car everyday and inline with other bike locker programs in other cities.
Due to increased demand Metro is adding another 180 bike lockers as well as 100 bike racks at many of it’s stations. Call Lynne Goldsmith, Metro Bike Planning Manager at 213−922−3068 to rent your locker.
