Curbside Bike Parking
There are hundreds of curbside bike parking spots found throughout the city.
How to Request Curbside Bike Parking
- Secure bike parking provides superior protection for your bicycle over the conventional bike rack.
- There are over 50 secure bike parking spots located in downtown Hamilton.
- You must have a pass to enter the secure parking area.
- Bikes are stored vertically onto the storage system. One U-Lock can secure both tires and the frame of the bike.
- Secure bike parking facilities are monitored and access is limited to reduce the chance of damage or theft.
Secure bike parking provides an excellent option to store your bike for the day as you commute to and from work.
