What does this map show?

This map monitors the number of free slots for parking Boris Bikes throughout the day. It shows averaged historical data to identify areas where parking could be difficult at certain times of day.

If you are after live data for an imminent journey or a journey in progress, try the live availability map on TFL.

Who made this?

How does it work?

Data is collected from the Cycle Hire API, it is recorded and continually analysed to refine the statistical picture of parking availability.
