Ideal if you want to wait for a WiFi connection to send the images or for bicycle parking in locations with weak cell signals. Ever wonder where the nearest bicycle parking is or have trouble finding a bike rack when you are in a rush? The bicycle parking project is taking advantage of modern technologies to help solve that problem for good. All green markers are user generated data with an image of the bicycle parking area and optional notes. All purple dots are from external data sources such as city data, department of transportation or other bicycle parking projects. External data has not been confirmed. It is pretty simple. If you are looking for bike parking, open the app and look at the map in the area where you want to park. If there isn't anything yet you can help by snapping a quick picture and sending it in when you find a bike rack or any other bicycle parking that isn't on the map yet! With this app, and help from cyclists all around, we will never have trouble finding a place to safely lock our bikes again.
