Secure bike parking and smart lockers in downtown Calgary
On this page4 sections
Downtown Calgary has its first Bikeep bike parking, at CPA Lot 25 on 10th Avenue SW. Monashee Racks installed it for the City of Calgary. Riders can choose between a smart bike parking station with e-bike charging and fully enclosed Dero smart lockers powered by Bikeep.
Two kinds of parking in one place
- Smart docks. A locking bar holds the bike frame, and e-bike riders can charge while they're away. Good for a few hours downtown.
- Smart lockers. The whole bike goes inside a closed locker, out of the weather. Good for longer stays and more expensive bikes.
Both open with the same Bikeep app, so the experience is the same whichever one a rider picks.
Where it is
CPA Lot 25 is at 340 10th Avenue SW, in the heart of downtown. Restaurants and bars are a short walk away, and so is the CTrain, so riders can park the bike and carry on by train.
How to use it
Download the Bikeep app on iOS or Android, pick a dock or a locker, and lock up. Parking is free. The docks also open with a contactless card.
Built with a local partner
Monashee Racks handled the installation for the city. Bikeep stations are also in use elsewhere in Canada, from TransLink stations in Metro Vancouver to Whistler and Kingston.
