Bicycle Parking Regulations for US & Canadian Cities

CycleSafe has curated a collection of bike parking regulations and ordinances for numerous cities in the United States and Canada and is excited to share that information with you. Below you’ll find links to each city’s respective details on long- and short-term bike parking requirements and links to official regulations, ordinances, and other information.

The bicycle parking ordinances of most bike-friendly cities clearly indicate how many bicycle parking spaces are required, either as a function of the type of development (retail, office, residential, etc.) or as a standard percentage of the required off-street automobile parking. You’ll also find design standards for short- and long-term bike parking. Finally, you’ll notice some bike-friendly cities have requirements for personal lockers and showers to support long-term bike parking, and illumination standards for bike parking.

CycleSafe is always ready to assist you in developing bike parking facilities that meet both your needs and local bike parking requirements. For help, talk with a bike parking design specialist today.
