Found this sweet infrastructure in Seoul last week. Never seen it in the states, but damn I'd love to see that near the light rail in Minneapolis!

Minneapolis has them.

[u/gwarster → u/omgmrj]

Not at midtown... I guess I dont go downtown enough

[u/sebwiers → u/omgmrj]

A lot of the public stairs do, yeah, especially near bike paths.

[u/[deleted]]

We have a few of those in Chicago.

[u/EddieBshp → u/[deleted]]

Oooh where at? I haven't seen it before but then again maybe I've never looked. I wanna try it out sometime.

edit: also r/chibike

[u/mattindustries → u/[deleted]]

We also have them in Minneapolis, haha.

So you can just put your bike in that tread and walk up wheeling it along side you? Am I right in how I'm picturing that? If so, that sounds awesome.

[u/[deleted] → u/Tiekyl]

You are correct!

[u/Aww_Shucks → u/Tiekyl]

It's a bit annoying if your tires are thin as they keep wiggling back and forth between the rails as you're moving the bike up.

There's one of these near the 5W freeway going over the Mississippi in St. Paul, near Fort Snelling.

[u/Mad_Physicist]

They're all over Minneapolis. I've seen them most on elevated pedestrian walkways over freeways without a bike ramp.

We have those around the city walls and old bridges in York. They're old and rusty, but they work!

[u/grantrules]

They're in NYC. I think on both the north side of the George Washington Bridge and the Triboro.

[u/comptechgsr → u/grantrules]

yup - but only on the pedestrian/"walking" side. The bicycle side has no stairs and no need for the ramps; the ramps do exist on the walking side when the bike side is under repair.

[u/JingJang]

We have them here in Denver Colorado too.

[u/citruspers]

This is found in pretty much every Dutch train station :)

[u/Mattho → u/citruspers]

Except Utrecht it would seem. At least I haven't seen them and saw my friend carrying her bike up and down the stairs.

[u/panfist]

Is that supposed to be a groove to roll your bike up and down the stairs? It looks too close to the wall to be of any use that way...

[u/sebwiers → u/panfist]

You lean it away from the wall. That's why the grove has a rounded bottom.

[u/awkwardcthulhu]

There's no way I could ride my bike up that.

[u/henry82]

sydney harbour bridge australia.

[u/MrSh0w]

it exists at the 16th st Bart station in SF.

[u/big_deal]

Many of the train stations in Switzerland have those.

[u/FlyingFall]

In China there's ramps at the side of just about every public stairway, no matter the steepness. I remember running up and down them as a child, shit was tight.

[u/thathat]

I've seen that on the stairs to the Burnside Bridge in Portland. I actually found it kind of hard to use, but it's definitely better than carrying your bike up a tonne of stairs!

[u/wotererio]

Better said, everywhere in the Netherlands.
