New parking-only hubs offer more spots to lock up your bike

Need a place to park your share bike? Now you have more options! In addition to the existing hubs our riders are already using, you can now end your bike share trip at new "parking-only hubs." With guidance from user data and our municipal partners, we activated existing bike racks as parking-only hubs for your convenience. These bike racks won't be stocked with bikes like our regular hubs, but you can lock up your bike and end your trip without incurring an out-of-hub fee. 

Here’s a list of the new parking-only hubs (you can also find them on the app): 

Kansas City, Missouri

  • 18th and Prospect - silver rack at the northbound Prospect MAX stop (please do not lock up to bus stop signs, hand railings, or anything except the bike rack)
  • 19th and Baltimore - green "U" racks on the street
  • 36th and Broadway - blue bike racks in front of the yoga studio
  • Central Library - racks near the accessible entrance just east of the main library doors
  • Gregg/Klice Community Center - racks near the building entrance
  • Linwood YMCA - racks near the building entrance
  • Mary Williams-Neal Community Center - racks near the building entrance
  • Tony Aguirre Community Center - black bike racks to the right of the building entrance
  • Westport Sunfresh - green "U" racks between Sunfresh and Sherwin Williams

North Kansas City, Missouri

  • Big Rip Brewing - racks in the parking lot near the patio door
  • 31st and Howell - racks at the northwest end of Macken Park

Kansas City, Kansas

  • The Merc - racks near the front door on Minnesota Ave.
  • Neighborhood Resource Center - black pipe bike rack at the entrance of the parking lot
  • Holy Family Park - racks at the corner of Ohio Ave. and Orchard St.

Using the app to find parking hubs

You can use the app to find free bike share parking, even if there are currently no bikes in the hub. Here's what the map symbols mean:
🧡 Orange with a bike and dots - There is one bike at this location, and the number of dots indicates the battery level.
🧡 Orange with a number - There are multiple bikes at this hub, and if you tap the number, you can see the battery levels for each bike.
🩶 Grey with a P - There are currently no bikes at this hub, but if you're out riding, you can park here for FREE!

Riders in Kansas City, MO, North Kansas City, MO, and Kansas City, KS may park and end their trips for FREE at any designated bike share hub or any parking-only hub. For a $2 fee, you may also park at any public bike rack, or even to a street sign, as long as you're not blocking sidewalks, stairs, handrails, or transit stops. This parking policy helps prevent theft and vandalism of bikes and ensures that more bikes are available when you are ready to ride.

Note: Riders in Lenexa may only end their trips at designated bike share hubs, and riders on the Aspiria Campus may only end trips on the Aspiria Campus.
