Public Bicycle Parking on Hitching Posts

The City provides public bicycle parking (Bicycle Hitching Posts) on City streets for a place to securely lock your bike near commercial areas. City staff is always open to taking requests for bicycle parking in public areas and offering guidance and options for on-site bicycle parking. Watch the video on How to Park Your Bike Right. 

To request a “Bicycle Hitching Post” in front of your favorite shop, restaurant, or other places you frequent, please email SFurtner@SantaBarbaraCA.gov.
