Bicycle parking

There are bicycle parking places all around Turku.  A lot of them offer a chance to lock up your bike frame.  You should lock up your bike frame whenever possible, so your bicycle is better protected.  

Parking your bike is free regardless how long they are parked.  

Next to Kupittaa train station there is a bicycle parking hall that has space for about 40 bicycles. The bicycle shelter is maintained by the City of Turku. It is open 24 hours a day, and its use is free of charge. The facility is also under video surveillance. The hall is a convenient place to store your bicycle when you take the train for example. The bicycle parking hall has a maintenance spot, where you can fill up your tires.

Find charging stations for e-bikes

You can find Student village charging stations at Inspehtorinkatu and Ikituuri next to the Fölläri parking spot, that is on a bicycle path with winter maintenance.  Charging is free, and the charging station has the most common charging cables (Shimano, Yamaha, and Bosch) and charging port for your own cable.   

The charging station makes quick charging possible, so the e-bike gets 20km more in only 30 minutes.  One station can charge 2 bikes at the same time.  You can find more instructions from under the cover of a charging station.  

The charging stations are part of the Response Initiative.
