The movement

Rethinking mobility, one ride at a time

What if bike parking were the real catalyst for improving our cities?

Vélo-Transit offers a practical approach to accelerating the transition toward more active, sustainable, and better-integrated mobility.

The reality

An imbalance in the ways we get around

For decades, cities have been designed around cars. The result: traffic congestion, strain on infrastructure, under-optimized spaces, and a reliance on motorized transportation.

Meanwhile, cycling has yet to gain traction as a practical mode of daily transportation. Not due to a lack of interest, but a lack of adequate infrastructure.

39%
of citizens own a bicycle and have used it in the past year. This represents immense untapped potential.

The turning point

What if it all started with parking?

A bike that can be securely and conveniently parked is a bike that gets used.

By making bike parking simple, accessible, and reliable, we are removing a major barrier to adopting cycling as a mode of transportation. What might seem like a minor detail becomes a powerful tool for changing habits.

12% to 25%
of trips under 15 km could be made by bicycle if adequate infrastructure existed.

The impact

A tangible impact on the urban landscape

Every decision to bike instead of drive has an immediate impact on the urban environment. When a driver becomes a cyclist, a parking space is freed up. On a large scale, these changes make it possible to rethink how we use the spaces around us.

Space-saving

6 for 1

One car parking space can hold up to six bikes

Reclaimed space

6,5%

of public space reclaimed for every 12% increase in cycling

Setup costs

$4,000 vs. $12,000

A more accessible infrastructure solution for sustainable mobility

The solution

A structured network to support active mobility

At Vélo-Transit, we do more than just install modules.

We develop bike parking networks designed at scale.

Consistent and accessible transportation networks integrated into people’s daily travel habits, helping to:

  • Support intermodality

  • Make everyday travel easier

  • Increase utility cycling (to run errands, etc.)

  • Optimize the use of urban spaces

Because a well-designed network changes the way we get around… and tangibly improves our quality of life.

Putting the idea into action

The transition to more active mobility does not rest on a single solution, but on a series of concrete decisions.

Secure bike parking is one of these.
