Where can I park my bicycle at John Wayne Airport?

"Where can I park my bicycle at your airport?" I asked the employee on John Wayne Airport's hotline. "Is there a bike rack somewhere?"

No one seemed to know the answer. It took 15 minutes for them to finally find an employee with some kind of answer (though I will give them credit for doing an awesome job hunting down the solution!).

Apparently, employees park their bicycles in the stairwells of the automobile parking structures at the airport. So, if you want to park at the airport, for free, why not consider bicycling there? Follow along the photographs with these 4 easy steps:

  1. Find an automobile parking structure.
  2. Find the stairwell (marked with a green staircase symbol).
  3. Find a place within the stairwell that has space for your bicycle.
  4. Lock your bicycle to the metal bars.

And that's it! I've done this several times and never had any trouble with anyone or had any missing or lost bicycles, and it sure beats trying to take OCTA's infrequent 76 line to and from the airport.

Hmm, I guess my only concern would be how to get your luggage there as well.

Thanks

Thanks for the information. Although you have done this repeatedly, a confirmation from the police that this is a acceptable parking solution for bikes would be comforting. I don't want to return and find that my bike has been confiscated etc.

How long did you leave it there?

I like your parking idea. I want to leave it there about 10 days. Have you ever left it there that long?

Bike rack

I just started working at the airport and this is in fact the only place that i ever see a bike chained up. The same bike or two is there everyday and no issues that I can see as I walk by them to get to main and MacArthur. I agree that the octa 76 sucks badly. With no bus on Saturday or Sunday going to the airport. Does this seem odd to anyone else?

OMG! A real post that has

OMG! A real post that has something to do with TRANIST! Maybe there is still hope for this blog.
