The rings and rails are the City of Sydney’s, the stands and share bike bays are Waverley Council’s, and the sheds and lockers are at stations; the other councils publish no bike parking, so racks there are not on this map yet. Some locations publish no capacity, so the bike spaces figure is a floor.
Shared bikes
Where you can leave a share bike in Sydney
The rings and rails on this map are for your own bike. Sydney’s share bikes are dockless, and the councils have their own rules for where they go.
Share bikes: upright, at the kerb
Leave a share bike upright at the kerb side of the footpath, out of the walking line and clear of driveways, bus stops and kerb ramps. Some councils have marked share bike bays, like the Waverley bays on this map, and an operator may only let a ride end in one there.
Station bike sheds and lockers
The bike sheds and lockers on this map are at train stations, secure and run by Transport for NSW. Check its page for how to get access before you rely on one.
Your own bike: lock it to a ring or a rail
Lock the frame and a wheel to a ring or a rail with a U-lock. They are free, and one that is damaged can be reported to the council it stands in.
Find a rack before you set off
The same 1,917 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 and every bay for shared bikes and scooters in green; 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.

The rings and rails are the City of Sydney’s, the stands and share bike bays are Waverley Council’s, and the sheds and lockers are at stations; the other councils publish no bike parking, so racks there are not on this map yet. 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.

Bike parking in Sydney, answered
Where can I park my bike in Sydney?
At any of the 1,917 public bike parking locations on this map, which hold at least 5,011 bikes between them. Search a destination or zoom in to see the racks around it, tap one for its kind and capacity, and plan a ride with Navigate to parking on to end the route at the nearest one.
How many bike racks does Sydney have?
The map has 1,754 bike rings and rails, 38 bike sheds and lockers at stations and 125 bike stands in Waverley: 1,917 locations in all. The rings and rails are the City of Sydney’s, the stands and share bike bays are Waverley Council’s, and the sheds and lockers are at stations; the other councils publish no bike parking, so racks there are not on this map yet.
Where can I leave a shared bike or e-scooter in Sydney?
The 15 share bike bays in Waverley on this map are set aside for them. Leave a share bike upright at the kerb side of the footpath, out of the walking line and clear of driveways, bus stops and kerb ramps. Some councils have marked share bike bays, like the Waverley bays on this map, and an operator may only let a ride end in one there.
Can Cyclemate end my ride at a bike rack?
Yes. Turn on Navigate to parking when you plan a ride and the directions finish at the bike parking nearest your destination, then walk you the rest of the way. The route itself prefers bike lanes and quiet streets, the same as any Cyclemate ride.
Where does this bike parking data come from?
From the open data the City of Sydney, Transport for NSW and Waverley Council publish: the bicycle parking as of October 2026, the station bike parking as of October 2026, the bike stands as of May 2021 and the share bike bays as of May 2021. Cyclemate reads the published feeds every week, so a rack added or removed reaches the map within days of the publisher recording it. The bike stands and share bike bays are files the publisher released once, so they show the parking as it was then.
