Biking Around Downtown Ann Arbor

The greater Ann Arbor area has over 79 miles of bike lanes. Downtown Ann Arbor boasts the City’s first two-way protected facility, the William Street Bikeway. A second two-way protected bikeway on First Street was completed in the Fall of 2020.  The bikeway network has been expanded to include Division Street and the Miller-Catherine area.

Bike Counter Public Dashboard

Counters were installed along bikeway streets in August and September of 2023. Visit the DDA’s “beta” page to view counts. Please note, counts include three of the four bikeway streets. Equipment on First Street is currently being adjusted and counts are not yet available.

Bike parking is plentiful downtown with over 1000 spaces, options include:

Bike Hoops: Conveniently located on the sidewalk or the curbside lane throughout downtown.

Bike Houses: Featuring 24-hour secure access, bike houses are located at the Ann Ashley and the Maynard parking structures. Due to space limitations, only those commuting to downtown and have a go!pass through their employer are eligible to rent space in one of two bike houses. (Not available for bike storage. ) Spots can be reserved for $75 per year. For more information email parking@a2dda.org or call 734-994-6697.

Bike Parking Request Form

The Ann Arbor DDA manages public bike parking within the public right-of-way (ROW) and certain parking structures. New bike parking areas are typically installed when there is a building development, a streetscape project, or an observed need.

If you would like to request the installation of a new bike hoop, please fill out this form. Public benches can also be requested through the same form.
