About this asset

Designed for urban streetscapes, this metal parking meter bicycle hitch Revit family features dual tubular locking rings mounted to a standard meter post. Constructed as an urban cycling retrofit, the assembly combines a cylindrical steel post, an integrated metering head, and a dual-ring locking hitch. The top housing models a classic mechanical meter profile with coin insertion slots, viewing window, and lower access plate detailing. Clamped securely around the central vertical column, two symmetric curved tubular loops project outward on opposite sides, forming sturdy anchoring hoops for bicycle frames and U-locks. A flanged circular collar finishes the base connection where the upright post anchors directly into sidewalk paving surfaces.

The download is a 1.1 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Insert this component into site or architectural models by loading the native RFA file directly into your Revit project. Typically hosted onto exterior ground slabs, sidewalk topography, or placed as a standalone component aligned to street curbs, it maintains accurate line work in elevations and plan view graphics. Material finishes can be assigned through project object styles or family type parameters.

Ideal for municipal infrastructure projects, urban revitalization corridors, transit plazas, and mixed-use commercial developments requiring street-level amenities. This fixture coordinates smoothly with roadway sections, sidewalk paving, tree grates, and transit stops during detailed public realm planning. Architects, civil engineers, and urban designers frequently specify parking meter bicycle racks, street bike hitches, and urban bollards to meet cycling parking requirements within tight public right-of-way configurations.
