The Bicycle Parking Project
The Bicycle Parking Project is an open source project that takes input from local area cyclists to create a comprehensive database of bike racks and parking spots. This effort aims to increase alternative mobility solutions by simplifying ride planning and parking. Additionally, the project identifies areas with insufficient bike parking and works with city officials and businesses to add new parking options. Download the app here.
