Bike parking and storage

Bike parking locations in Auckland

Petrol driven motorbikes and scooters cannot be parked in any bike or cycle park.

Bikes can be taken free of charge onto trains, ferries and some NX1 buses. Bikes are not permitted on any of Auckland’s other bus services, unless it can be folded-up and carried by the rider.

For more information, go to Bikes & public transport.

Bike parking at train stations, ferry terminals and libraries

You'll find some form of cycle parking at any train station, ferry terminal or library. There's also parking at most major bus stations. The type of parking is different at each location.

Types of bike parking

Staple bike parking

Staple bike parking in Auckland is a simple and secure way to lock your bike by placing the frame and at least one wheel against the metal loop and securing it with a U-lock or chain. It’s ideal for short trips like popping into a shop, grabbing a coffee, or attending a local appointment.

Secure bike parking

Locky Docks are free, secure parking stations for bikes and e-scooters. They're accessible with many different cards in your wallet, or the Bikeep app (opens in a new tab).

Use them by:

1. scanning the QR code or scanning with your EFTPOS or credit card, AT Hop card, gym card or workplace access card
2. dock your bike
3. lock the bar.

Charging for e-bikes is also available if you bring your own cable. Secure bike parking is ideal for short-to-longer term trips like commuting, shopping, or visiting local amenities. They're especially useful in urban areas with high foot traffic such as Ponsonby, Aotea Centre or Commercial Bay. 

Double stacker bike parking

Double stackers are space-efficient bike racks that allow two bikes to be parked vertically. One level of bikes are on the ground level and one lifted onto individual pull-out trays. To use them:

• lift your bike onto the upper tray
• roll your bike in
• secure it with a lock through the frame.

These are best for short-medium term trips like work commutes or study days. They're especially useful in high-demand areas like Britomart or ferry terminals where maximising space is important.
