Bicycle parking

Commercial and public bike racks

In Toronto, bicycle parking is a code requirement rather than an amenity. Chapter 230 of Zoning By-law 569-2013 sets bicycle parking rates, short-term spaces must be visible and publicly accessible at grade, and the Toronto Green Standard applies to new mid-to-high-rise residential and all ICI development. If you are filing a Site Plan Approval application, there is a bike rack line item in your project.

A row of stainless and black bike racks: post, round hoop, U and Double Moon, on a paved commercial forecourt at dusk

Where it is used

  • New ICI and mid/high-rise development under Site Plan Approval
  • Condominium visitor and resident short-term bicycle parking
  • Commercial plazas, offices and campus frontages
  • Streetscape and BIA improvements
  • Schools, community centres and transit-adjacent sites
  • Replacing informal parking where bikes are locked to railings and accessibility posts

SBD-BRBM01 Double Moon bike rack bollard in powder-coated black

SBD-BRBM01

Product code: SBD-BRBM01

Double Moon Bike Rack Bollard

A bollard and a bike rack in one footprint. The circular locking loops park two bicycles while the post itself works as vehicle access control, useful where a site needs both jobs done in a tight frontage. Assembles on site and mounts to a compact 120 mm base plate.

Also available in-ground for installation into a concrete footing where the site allows.

SBD-UBR31601

Product code: SBD-UBR31601

Stainless Steel U Bike Rack

The minimalist U-shape in Grade 316 stainless: the highest corrosion resistance in the range, suited to heavy de-icing salt exposure. Two points of contact and U-lock capability in a clean form that blends into sidewalks, parks, campuses and commercial frontages.

Grade 316 is the specification to reach for where road salt is heavy: garage entries, transit-adjacent sites and exposed frontages.

SBD-CBS4W01 4-Way bike rack with four U-shaped locking tubes

SBD-CBS4W01

Product code: SBD-CBS4W01

4-Way Bike Rack

The highest-capacity unit in the range: four U-shaped locking tubes around a heavy central post park up to eight bicycles in a single compact footprint. The efficient answer where a site plan calls for numbers, not just presence.

One 4-Way replaces a row of four hoops, worth pricing against multiple single racks when space is tight.

Before you order

Choosing the right option

How many racks does my project need?

It depends on the use, the gross floor area and the zone under Chapter 230. Short-term spaces must be located within 30 metres of a pedestrian entrance to the principal building and be publicly accessible at grade. Send us the drawing or the SPA submission and we will help you count.

Galvanized or stainless?

Hot-dip galvanized is the value choice and performs well through Ontario winters, it is what most ICI and streetscape projects use. Stainless is specified where the rack is a visible part of the design at a building entrance or high-end frontage. The Round rack (SBD-UBRSS01) is HDG; the SBD-SSBR01 is stainless, and the U rack (SBD-UBR31601) is Grade 316 stainless for heavy salt exposure.

What about AODA clearances?

Rack placement has to respect clear path-of-travel widths and not create a projection hazard. This is a layout question more than a product question, and it is worth resolving on the drawing rather than on site. We can advise on spacing and setback.

Can you provide submittal documentation?

Yes. Dimensional data, materials and mounting details are on our spec sheets. Tell us what the specification calls for and we will confirm compliance and lead time in writing.
