FAQs about SSc4.2 :

Does LEED have any requirements on spacing or the type of bike racks used? What about security?

Are there specific requirements for the changing rooms, such as size?

Based on my FTE calculations, I am only required to provide 1 shower to meet this requirement. Since both males and females will have access to this one shower, and it will be in a single room, does this satisfy the credit requirements? Can I use an exist

Do bike racks have to be within the LEED project boundary?

My project type serves visitors who can reasonably be expected to not be using bikes, e.g. hotel, airport, assisted living facility. Can I exclude them from bike rack requirements?

Is a general storage room that is accessible to residents acceptable for covered bike storage?

Do I round up or down? What if the calculations show that I need 0.5 showers?

Our building is mostly residential. Must we provide showers and changing rooms for the nonresidential portion?

NC-2009 SSc4.2:Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms

Green Bike Station

Is there any advantage if the project locates a Green Bike Station (from where bikes could be rented) within the vicinity of the project (even if it is not within 200 yards)? Does it help to satisfy this credit in any way? I would guess no, but wanted to confirm.

I don't think a bike rental station helps with this credit. Not unless you find some way to calculate some % of bike users as using the rental station, and get a LEED Interpretation approving this.

We had a project where we were lacking 1 bike storage space, but had a bike rental station by the project building that was accepted as a supplement for the missing storage space. The key for us was that the rentals were available to our building occupants and visitors only via a membership, and not the general public. I doubt that an project in an urban location with a bike rental station available to everyone would be able to claim the benefit in general.
