Last week Pace, one of Chicago’s four dockless bike-share vendors, announced that they will be installing 25 “mobility parking platforms” on private property within Chicago’s Far South Side DoBi pilot area. In plain English, they’re talking about fairly conventional-looking bike parking racks (although one end of the rack has a hole in it to facilitate locking Pace bikes via their built–in cable locks.) But the company is promoting the fixtures as being available for parking any company’s dockless bikes, as well as dockless electric scooters and personal cycles. Pace has gotten permission from institutions and businesses such as Chicago State University in Roseland and Open Outcry Brewing in Beverly to install the fixtures on their property.
