Wpg Bike Racks

Just bike racks - Winnipeg bike racks. If it's the best thing to lock your bike to, it's a Wpg Bike Rack. Submissions encouraged, let us know where it is.

I have been spending most of my time on bluesky, and reckon it is time to start posting there as well. Feel free to @ me and I will be happy to repost if I can think of something funny to say.

Wpg Bike Rack 091 - Main at Bannatyne

I was out. No more posting, just happiness, locking my bike to whatever I could find -

and then I see 2 Wpg rack posts in one day.

Given Brent's credentials I am surprised he hadn't heard of my public art project, "Racks in Reflection."

Canoe parking racks.

Wpg Rack 090: Lombard at Main.

It's difficult to tell, but there may not be a bike rack here at all.

Perhaps one of these bicycles is supremely upright, a "stabil cykle" as the Danes call them.

Comforting. But if the stabil cykle were to disappear, what then?

[The Red Scare @beautifulyangry]

Hey @cityofwinnipeg & Exchange district biz. Probably could use some more bike racks on Lombard. This one is 3 bikes deep.

Wpg Bike Rack 089: SaveOn Foods, Pembina

Placement is everything, folks. The Save On near my place has the same rack (Wpg rack 006 for those playing at home) but it's sandwiched up against a wall.

Props to whomever decided this should go against a pillar instead!

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

@JennArndt Which SaveOn? My local's rack is very much not this good.

Wpg Bike Rack 088: Petro Can at Portage and Clifton.

Hitch your bike on one of these white thingers on the far side of the property.

Whatever, sure, why not?

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

Wpg Bike Rack 087: Sketchers, Polo Park.

A very long rack for only two bicycles. You could use this as an over-top lock, were it another couple feet from the wall.

There is so much room for it too!

[Ryan. Reluctantly, I remain. @ohryan]

This is an improvement?

Also, our apologies that recent posts haven't allowed people to respond, whoops!

Wpg Bike Rack SUMMER SPECIAL: Folk Fest.

Good on everyone who rolled on up to Bird's Hill!

There are so many bikes that any analysis of the racks themselves is impossible!

Wpg Bike Rack 086: Assiniboine Forest.

I've been trying to see more of the city lately, so we cycled to the forest for a little hike.

No bike racks tho, unless you count these things, which I do.

I have to, it's like the whole point of this account.

Wpg Bike Rack 085: Thom Bargen, Tuxedo.

Fun fact: this is a traditional unicycle rack, and not within the purview of this account.

@WPGuniracks operated for 6 years before it was shuttered due to lack of content. Things could have been different...

[Ryan. Reluctantly, I remain. @ohryan]

Thom Bargen Tuxedo.

There was an attempt to provide bike parking.

2/5, it exists and technically I can lock my bike to it.

Wpg Bike Rack 084: Winnipeg Clinic

These poles are scary in two ways: often there is a bolt at the base that can be loosened to remove the pole - and then sometimes there is a really tall guy around who could just lift your bike over the top.

Luckily, both are easy to spot.

[Misty Bromley @misstea10]

This is bike parking at the Winnipeg Clinic.

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

Wpg Bike Rack 083: Salisbury House, Parkdale and Portage.

From @Bee31Kay: "And in the category of 'E for effort'"

This is so close to the wall, I say, JUST PUT IT ON THE WALL.

You know, horizontal like...

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

Wpg Bike Rack number 082: Lucky Supermarket, McPhillips.

I'm guessing that this is just the old cart-return receptacle, but I'm actually impressed: it's solid, with a truly secure section on the end.

Also, it is very orange, if that's your thing.

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

WPG Bike Rack Tip: Always hip check your selected rack before hitching up.

Wpg Bike Rack #081: Mark's, Polo Park.

I visited these racks in January. Figured there would still be plenty of snow in February and you all wouldn't notice.

Deep down, I hope there might be a lil bit of snow left, nestled quietly amongst the strip mall bike racks.

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

Wpg Bike Rack #080: MTC.

Another venue, another INDOOR rack! This would have saved us taking 4 bike locks to the last production we saw there. While it is small, it's beautiful and I think one lock will suffice.

Bravo! Take a bow!

[Wpg Bike Racks @WpgBikeRacks]

Let's get the year started with a so-so bike rack from a wonderful venue.

Why is it up on little blocks? If we're talking thematic then I'd reckon they're like little stage risers... I really do like the little nook though.

Wpg Bike Rack #079: West End Cultural Centre.

Welcome to 2024 in racks, friends! 2023 was a big year for this account: finding lots of new friends, fielding some media requests, and enjoying the nooks of the city that you've all shared with us.

Thanks for following, truly 1/

Wpg Bike Rack #078: Cineplex Junxion.

It's hard to overstate how great it is when you can hitch up right next to the entrance like this.

Want to park like a VIP? Get Biked!

[Hillary @SomeDiplomat]

Went to see a movie with my mom tonight and had to share the bike racks at @CineplexMovies Junxion. They’re the perfect shape, well-spaced, reasonably plentiful (5-6 total), and most importantly—right beside the main door! Bravo. @WpgBikeRacks
