NIH Won’t Say How Much It’s Spending on Two ‘Elegant’ Bicycle Shelters

The National Institutes of Health has commissioned two “bicycle shelters” for its headquarters, but will not say how much the purchase will cost taxpayers.
The agency issued a notice last week announcing its intention to go outside the normal competitive bidding process to purchase bicycle shelters from Modern Design Site Furnishings, a Czech company with a distributor in New Jersey.
The notice said the NIH plans to buy the bicycle shelters because employees are parking their bikes on hand rails, causing “safety concerns” and compliance issues with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
