Bike parking and charging

A young woman with long blond hair and wearing a cycle helmet places her bright blue bike into a Locky Dock parking station.

You can lock a bike in public if it is out of the way – for example, locking a bike to a lamppost or to purpose-made bike parking.

For security, it's best to lock the frame and one wheel to a fixed structure, such as a bike-parking stand. 

Locky Docks secure bike parking

Free and secure bike parking is available at 10 Locky Dock bike-parking stations in some of the most popular destinations across the city:

  • Kensington shops
  • Town Basin by The Bach
  • Town Basin by Claphams Clock Museum
  • Cameron Street canopy
  • Central Library
  • Old Library
  • Lovers Lane / Te Iwitahi (civic centre)
  • Pohe Island playground
  • Okara Drive near Woolworths
  • Semenoff Stadium.

Locky Docks make it easier for more people to cycle more often, and most of them can be accessed via our shared paths. 

You can lock your bike using an app (download via Apple or Google Play stores) and by scanning the QR code.

You can also use your Bee Card (bus card) or another compatible card, or a Locky Dock card (available free from Whangārei Central Library). 

These sites also include 240v outlets, so bring your own charger to charge your e-bike or mobility scooter for free.
