Crowdsourced Bicycle Parking Map for Vaughan

A bike parking map can help cyclists plan their routes and park their bikes on secure racks, rather than on a stop sign or a tree.  It also recognizes businesses that support cyclists.

With the help of the Vaughan Bicycle User Group, I'm creating a bicycle parking map for Vaughan.  It's a work in progress. 

You can help by contributing to the map! Add any public bike parking that you use or are aware of, and also areas that are in need of better bike parking.

Map Legend

Blue bicycle icons identify existing bike racks

Red triangles depict inadequate or improper bicycle parking, and should be regarded as areas in need of better bike parking.

Red point markers are areas with bike parking, but the exact location needs to be confirmed.  (Edit this point, move it to the right location, then change the symbol to a blue bike.)

Green circles are bike-specific businesses like bike shops.
