Bike U-racks accommodate two bicycles per rack, securing both the wheel and frame. This increased stability helps prevent colliding bikes and is safer for pedestrian traffic aisles.

Bike U-racks should be installed three feet apart. A six-foot walkway clearance to the street curb is standard, while an access lane between bikes in U-racks can be as little as 4 feet 6 inches. Minimum bike U-rack setback from a building wall is two feet, but three feet improves access while bikes are parked.
