So many bikes, problems for parking:downtown Toronto

[shootingstar]

I cycled in this city for over 10 years when I lived and worked in Toronto.

Now I visit it approx. every 1-2 years because of family.
Now in various areas across downtown Toronto, it's WAAAAAY more bikes..to a point where you have to hunt around for a bike rack. The city does regularily install bike racks. There are several thousand across the city.

At some locations....it's a problem.

So yea, when cycling increases, this can be a problem.

Agree. At the Eaton Centre Dundas side for example it is mindboggling there are no high density racks given it is a busy downtown shopping mall AND a university campus side by side. Right now there are just double bike posts every 20ft or so.

Bike racks? I don't think we have those.

JK. But it's rare to find a bike rack where you need one here. I park my bike against railings, benches or whatnot 95 % of the time.
