We map dedicated motorcycle bays, public and private car parks, biker-friendly cafes, motorcycle garages and petrol stations right across the UK, in every city, town and village. A bike can always use a car park, so wherever you are heading, SoloBay has somewhere to leave it. WHAT YOU GET - A live map of motorbike bays, car parks, cafes, garages and petrol stations near you, free ones and paid ones, with spaces and distance at a glance - What a bay actually costs, taken from the council's own tariffs, and whether it is free right now or when charges start - Whole boroughs where bikes park free, so you are not hunting bay by bay - Live petrol prices, updated through the day, on the station cards.
