Washington DC bike parking guide
What kinds of bike parking does Washington DC have?
The map has 4,862 public bike parking locations holding 25,720+ bikes, plus 259 bays for shared bikes and scooters. Every rack in the inventory is an inverted U that takes a frame and a wheel, and most sites hold two or more of them; the corrals are painted spaces in the street, set aside for shared bikes and scooters.
| Kind | Locations | Bike spaces | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public bike racks | 4,862 | 25,720 | DDOT, October 2026 |
| Corrals for shared bikes and scooters | 259 | Not counted | DDOT, October 2026 |
The racks are the ones the District Department of Transportation installed in public space; racks inside buildings and garages, and 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 shared bike or scooter in DC
The racks on this map are for your own bike. A shared bike or scooter follows its operator’s rule, and in DC that rule depends on the system.
Capital Bikeshare: a dock, or a rack for an e-bike
A classic Capital Bikeshare bike ends its ride locked in a dock at a Capital Bikeshare station. An e-bike can end at a station too, or locked with its own cable to a public bike rack, which costs an out-of-station fee. Tap the bike button on the map to see every station with its live bike and dock counts.
Lime and other dockless: lock it up
In DC a dockless e-bike or scooter has to be locked when the ride ends: to a bike rack, a parking signpost or a micromobility corral, never left standing free in the walkway. The green corrals on this map are the painted in-street spaces set aside for them.
Your own bike: lock it to a rack
Lock the frame and a wheel to a DDOT rack with a U-lock. Street racks are free; Union Station and some Metro stations also have secure bike rooms and lockers, rented separately and not on this map.
Find a rack before you set off
The same 4,862 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

The racks are the ones the District Department of Transportation installed in public space; racks inside buildings and garages, and 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.
