Is vandalism an issue or is the concern just theft? How far is the commute?
It is a dedicated bike rack but the area is shared with motorcycles...The only other bicycles I occasionally see are beach cruisers...It is not visible from the street..It is a patient/employee parking structure for an imaging center...Vandalism isn't too much of an issue but theft can be bad during the summer months...My commute is six miles each way.
