They have no garages that have bike parking in my experience. Write to them at http://www.weparknewyork.com/Contact_Us.asp and ask them to offer bike parking. Tell them your would pay good money for it too - like $30-60 a month and remind them that they can fit 10-15 bikes or more in the same space as a automobile. Tell them it would earn them more money than the $168 rate they are offering in Midtown. That website and advertisement was for Icon Parking.

What struck me the most was that that was <i>after</i> the congestion pricing. I’m sure they calculated an appropriate exchange rate to make it comparable.

In the context of cost of living, Manhattan might actually be more expensive then London. But don’t forget that the British Pound is practically double the US Dollar (currently $1.86).
