Twin Cities Bike Parking Review @tcbikeparking.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

All Square on Minnehaha (mpls) A! I got to eat lunch with my bike practically at the table. And everyone needs grilled cheese content.

A bike locked among a few otherwise empty racks in the foreground, patio tables with red umbrellas in the midday sun, all in front of a brick building with a big from window that reads All Square.

A grilled cheese cut into four squares, a small bowl of tomato soup (surprisingly spicy!) and a glass of iced Dr. Pepper

Bike parking review: Yacht Fest B Plenty of racks but this place should have a corral and biking should be the #1 way to get here @tcbikeparking.bsky.social

Tii Cup: D- Okay rack style across the street and down a ways but you can see your bike if you’re seated on the rooftop patio. Great drinks and food AND karaoke.

A view through a patio railing, looking down onto Hennepin Avenue, a red arrow indicates where my bike is parked down the road and across the street.

Phoenix Theater: F I hate to give what seems to be a great community partner a bad grade, but they don’t have bike racks at all. There are okay rack across Hennepin at Chipotle. I told them about the city program for racks. View from the door:

Street view with a cycle track at the bottom, next to which a bike is locked to a parking meter. Way across the street a red arrow indicates where my bike is locked to a rack. The sky is partly cloudy and the sun is getting low.

@tcbikeparking.bsky.social Lloyd's Pharmacy at Snelling and Minnehaha. Grade C? No immediately adjacent parking, including at the newly rebuilt Hamline Midway Library. Two slightly rusty but ok condition ground posts at the A Line BRT station across the street to the north.

Park Dental Grand Ave (StP) B I put three locks on and forgot to check the rack for shimmy so hopefully it’s still there. Not my favorite style. High traffic. By doors but they don’t open! Grand Ave always makes me nervous 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey Bear: C+ The single rack is a usable shape, and at a highly visible location. But it’s right up against this table so when there’s a snow mound, it’s almost unusable. I added the + because I’m Covid cautious and normally eat on the sidewalk like a raccoon. Thanks for the dignity table.

Como Park Animal Hospital (24 hour emergency care): C It is at the front door, visible from the lobby, under a security camera, well under a huge overhang. But due to the very close proximity to both walls, you’re only getting one bike locked on here. New painted bike lanes from the south (Dale)

The facade of a vet clinic, rotating vertical walls and pillars of stone, glass windows, brick, stone, repeat. On the pavement, to the left of the front doors, is a black bike rack consisting of two upward humps connected by a downward hump in the middle, all of it so close to the brick and stone walls of the corner that only one side, with room to overhang in only one direction, are usable.

Menards Saint Paul: C+ When you need some weather stripping and an intimate piano performance, you get front door parking under an overhang in case of precipitation. The utility, on the other hand, I don’t know what to call this. Hope for an open end spot.

Two bikes awkwardly locked to a green rack full of hanging diamond-shaped locking spots. It’s located at the front door of a Menards where the sun is shining on the wide concrete sidewalk.

Review: Caydence Records & Coffee, Payne Avenue, St. Paul. D How hipster is this shop; yet the best parking for your custom fixie is a gas meter out of sight of the cafe windows? (There’s also a parking sign around the corner, so close room for three bikes total.) @tcbikeparking.bsky.social

(A second opinion rating! Because there are no rules here.) Merriam Park Library: C+ The racks are about 3 inches too close to the brick wall and I always have to lift my bike into position, which is a struggle with a heavier e-bike. But I love their books and roll-by drop off 📚

Lunds & Byerly’s Ford Pkwy: A- Good space and utility for all bike types, at the front door, never at capacity. But I feel like they could have easily placed these inside the parking garage for more security and weather protection.

Bryant Lake Bowl: A Super cool bike rack! You can lock to either the pins or the bowling ball. It’s right outside the window and patio so you can keep eyes on your bike while you eat. The only negative would be space, the one bike here takes up most of one side of the rack. Bike rack art!

@tcbikeparking.bsky.social Merriam Park Public Library (SPPL). Grade: A. Separated from the street, space for bikes on either side of your own, enough of it, well trafficked. I’m even tempted to give it a “+” for the e-bait-bike that’s locked by cable, but that feels cruel.

Chuck & Don’s Ford Pkwy (D) but the employees are awesome and have always let me roll inside. Best outside option is around the corner at Allina’s front door (B) only one rack, cargo friendly, with regular foot traffic. There are good racks across the lot (C) but it’s a ghost town there, zero eyes.
