Chicago bike parking guide
What kinds of bike parking does Chicago have?
The map has 8,566 public bike parking locations holding 30,526+ bikes. Most are inverted-U racks on the sidewalk, with corrals in former car parking spaces on the busiest commercial streets, and many sites hold two or more racks side by side.
| Kind | Locations | Bike spaces | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bike racks and corrals | 8,566 | 30,526 | CDOT, October 2026 |
The Chicago Department of Transportation's inventory starts in 2015, so racks installed before then, and racks on private property, are not on this map. Some locations publish no capacity, so the bike spaces figure is a floor.
Shared bikes
Where you can leave a Divvy in Chicago
The racks on this map are for your own bike. A Divvy follows Divvy's rule, and the rule depends on which Divvy you are riding.
Divvy classic bike: dock it
A classic Divvy bike ends its ride at a Divvy station, and the ride keeps running until the bike is locked in a dock. Tap the bike button on the map to see every station with its live bike and dock counts.
Divvy e-bike or scooter: a dock or a public rack
A Divvy e-bike or e-scooter can end at a station, or locked with its own cable to a public bike rack inside the service area, which the Divvy app charges a small fee for. Every CDOT rack on this map counts as a public rack.
Your own bike: lock it to a rack
Lock the frame and a wheel to a CDOT rack with a U-lock. Street racks are free and first come, first served; a rack that is damaged or missing can be reported to the city through 311.
Find a rack before you set off
The same 8,566 locations sit under the Cyclemate map as a layer you can switch on while you plan, and the planner can end your route at one of them so you are never circling a block with a bike to lock.
Tap the P on the map
One tap shows every rack in blue; tap again to hide them. Clusters open up as you zoom in, and the bike button beside it adds the city's bike share with its live counts.
Tap a rack for the details
Every marker tells you the kind of parking, how many bikes it holds and whether it is covered or secure, so you know what you are riding to before you get there.
Ride the SuperSafe™ way
Bike lanes and quiet streets, turn by turn, same as any Cyclemate ride.
End the ride at a rack
Turn on Navigate to parking and the directions finish at a rack near your destination, then walk you the rest of the way.
In the app
Directions that end where you can lock up
Plan a ride with Navigate to parking on and the route finishes at the nearest rack to your destination, with the walk to the door as its last step.
Notes and sources
Bike racks and corrals come from the CDOT bike rack inventory, under the City of Chicago Data Portal Terms of Use, which we read every week, most recently in October 2026. Credit: City of Chicago Department of Transportation.
The Chicago Department of Transportation's inventory starts in 2015, so racks installed before then, and racks on private property, are not on this map. A location is one place a rider can lock up, with one or more racks; bike spaces count the bikes the publisher says it holds, where it says so. The bike share stations on the map come from the operator's public feed, refreshed every few minutes, and are not counted in these figures.
