A new bike-check pilot project is in place at The Forks this summer.
The Forks has partnered with the Winnipeg Trails Association to create the secure area, which is being operated out of the atrium space on the south side of The Forks Market.
“We’ve heard through our annual public surveys that more and more people are coming to The Forks via active transportation, and many of these folks suggested they’d bike here even more often if there was a managed, secure spot to store their bikes,” The Forks North Portage Partnership CEO Sara Stasiuk said in a news release Tuesday.
Other items such as cargo bikes, e-bikes, scooters, e-scooters, rollerblades, skateboards, unicycles and wheelchairs can also be checked.
The service is offered for free or by donation, with proceeds raised going to support Winnipeg Trails Association programming. It’s open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday, and on the three holiday Mondays this summer.
