A Few Details
Always tag your bicycle with your BikeLink ID number. Use the sticker provided with your BikeLink card or a temporary hang tag.
Once inside, you have 10 minutes to park and exit. Loitering will trigger an alarm and a remote alert.
Secure the door every time you enter or exit. DO NOT hold the door for others. Each user must check in and check out with their own card.
Park for 10-day maximum per session. Overnight stays are not recommended, but you may park for up to 10 days before your bike is considered abandoned. Overtime rates apply.
Access hours: BikeLink parking is open 24/7 except for Embarcadero & Civic Center stations which are closed when the BART station is closed (approximately 1 a.m. – 4 a.m.).
Add parking value: Call (888) 540-0546, or go to BikeLink.org
Lost or missing card: Call BikeLink at (888) 540-0546 immediately to deactivate the card. If you lose your card, the value is also lost.
