Secure bike parking provides superior protection for your bicycle over the conventional bike rack.
There are over 50 secure bike parking spots located in downtown Hamilton.
You must have a pass to enter the secure parking area.
Bikes are stored vertically onto the storage system. One U-Lock can secure both tires and the frame of the bike.
Secure bike parking facilities are monitored and access is limited to reduce the chance of damage or theft.
