In the Netherlands, it is not uncommon to use a bicycle garage. In the United States, this is not a structure that is really heard of. Similar to a car parking garage, one takes their bike in and finds a spot to park. To facilitate this, bike racks at differing elevations are provided. They are also spring loaded so that those who might not be able to lift the structure up can do so, even with their bikes loaded on. Infrastructure like this helps promote biking where as in the U.S. you are kind of on your own finding a sturdy structure to lock your bike.
