Bike parking map
This map is a result of our own review of the existing bike racks in areas of Waterloo Region with a high number of businesses and that our members frequently visit.
When assessing the sturdiness, we assigned a subjective value to qualify how well they are bolted, or whether they are degrading (such as rusting). They are not a qualification of their security, so please assess other aspects when using them, such as high visibility, pedestrian traffic and/or existence of security cameras, as well as the duration of your visit.
You can read Parking your bicycle to learn more about the best kinds of bike racks you can use to lock your bike.

If you know of an area of high interest with existing bike racks, regardless of their quality, or a destination that could benefit from having bike racks, please fill up this form.

The bike rack location dataset is currently on maps.amigocloud.com. As a first step, we’d like to get this data exported to OpenStreetMaps (OSM) so it’s easier to access bike racks through apps like the Cycling Guide, which are already being used for navigating cycling routes.
Get in touch with us if you’d like to volunteer, or if you have other ideas to crowdsource bike rack locations in the Region.
