    So many bikes, problems for parking:downtown Toronto

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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.
