What this map shows

This map bundles the four most important stops for cyclists: self-service repair stations (with hex keys, spoke wrench, etc.), public air pumps, bike-rental stations (Call-a-Bike, nextbike, OV-fiets, etc.), and covered bicycle parking where you can park safely. Live OpenStreetMap data — missing entries can be added by anyone.

Whether you commute daily, plan a longer weekend tour, or travel by e-bike, the right infrastructure decides whether the ride stays relaxed or turns into a slog. The map taps OpenStreetMap and shows stations contributed by municipalities, cycling clubs, transit agencies, and dedicated mappers.

Icons explained

  • Wrench (teal) — self-service repair station, usually with bolted-down tool sets.
  • Wind icon (blue) — public pump, often at market squares and stations.
  • Bicycle icon (yellow) — rental station. Popup shows operator so you can find the right app.
  • House icon (gray) — covered parking with racks. Protection from rain and better against theft.

Data source: OpenStreetMap

All POIs on this map come from OpenStreetMap (OSM), the free world atlas. Data is queried live via the Overpass API, so the map is always as fresh as the latest edit. Missing a repair station in your neighborhood? You can add it to OSM yourself, and within minutes it appears for everyone.

The most important OSM tags for bike infrastructure are:

  • amenity=bicycle_repair_station — self-service repair station with fixed tools
  • amenity=bicycle_rental — rental station (city-bike, Call-a-Bike, Nextbike, Donkey Republic etc.)
  • amenity=compressed_air — air pump station (often combined with repair station)
  • amenity=bicycle_parking + covered=yes — covered or lockable bike parking
  • shop=bicycle — bike shop or workshop — not shown as a separate layer here, but worth checking in OSM as a backup

When do I need this map?

  • Flat tire on the road: quickly find the nearest repair station instead of pushing the bike.
  • Plan a commute: check for secure covered parking at the station or office beforehand.
  • Day trip out of town: plan pump stops and rental options along the route.
  • Spontaneous riding on vacation: find rental stations in unfamiliar cities without app-hopping.
  • City planning & advocacy: document infrastructure gaps and report them back to your municipality.

Tips & notes

  • Call rental stations before a planned tour to confirm actual availability — special sizes or e-bikes are not always in stock.
  • Always carry a spare patch kit, multitool, and mini pump anyway — the next repair station may be 15 km away.
  • For longer e-bike tours, check the E-Mobility map — many car charging stations also have regular outlets for pedelecs.
  • For lockable racks and boxes: always use a U-lock or folding lock, never just a cable lock. Bikes get stolen even in "secure" parking.

Frequently asked questions

Which OSM tags are used?
Mainly amenity=bicycle_repair_station, amenity=bicycle_rental, amenity=compressed_air and amenity=bicycle_parking with covered=yes. This covers the most common mapper practices.
How up-to-date is the data?
The map queries the OSM Overpass API live. A repair station added to OSM this morning appears after reloading the map. In practice, POIs are expanded daily in many countries.
Why don't I see free-floating bikes (Lime, Tier, Bolt)?
Free-floating sharing providers aren't in OSM because positions change every minute. Use the operator app for those. The rentals shown here are fixed docking stations.
Are the stations available 24/7?
Public repair stations and pumps are typically available around the clock. Rentals and covered parking may have opening hours — check the popup for opening_hours.

Privacy

This map runs entirely in your browser. Your location is never sent to our servers — it's only used to center the map. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap.

Data source

All points come from OpenStreetMap and are fetched live via the Overpass API. Something missing or wrong? Anyone can fix it directly on OpenStreetMap — the map will reflect the change shortly after.

Why a Bike Service Map Is More Than Nice-to-Have

Flat tyres never happen near an open bike shop. A flat mid-evening ride, a slipped chain on the way to the station or an empty e-bike battery — for all of these your city probably has closer options than you realise. Public repair stations, compressed-air columns at fuel stations, community workshops, and city bike-share docks together form a surprisingly dense network. Our map gathers these four layers into one view and updates them live as you zoom.

The data behind the markers comes from OpenStreetMap, fed by communities like the German ADFC, BikeNight initiatives or local repair cafes. The map therefore is not just a lookup tool but also a mirror of a region's cycling infrastructure. Zooming across mid-sized European cities you can often see that repair posts along long-distance routes like the Elberadweg, Donauradweg or Ruhrtalradweg are systematically tagged — perfect for tour planning.

Unlike app-based sharing schemes that only show their own docks, you get a vendor-agnostic view: Call a Bike, Nextbike, Voi, Tier, Lime and independent sharing initiatives all appear as soon as they are tagged in OSM. This is especially helpful when travelling to cities where you do not know in advance which sharing system dominates.

Concrete Use Cases

We mostly use this map in scenarios like:

  • A commuter with a flat tyre on the way home looks for the nearest public repair station with tools and pump.
  • A long-distance tourer plans a multi-day stage along a river route and bookmarks every compressed-air column before leaving.
  • A tourist in a foreign city looks for a covered bike box at the station to lock the bike overnight.
  • Parents look for a cargo-bike sharing dock to take the kids to the swimming pool.
  • Urban planners check how dense the network of repair posts already is in a new neighbourhood.

Data Source, Licence and Updates

Every point comes from OpenStreetMap and is published under the Open Database License (ODbL). The Overpass API is queried live each time you move the map, so you never see stale caches but the latest state of the database. Edits to OSM usually appear in Overpass within minutes. Wrong or outdated entries can be fixed by anyone: log in to openstreetmap.org or use an app like StreetComplete or Every Door. Tag references live in the OSM Wiki under Key:amenity.

Limits of This Map

We can only show points that exist in OSM. Coverage is excellent in well-mapped cities like Berlin, Munich or Amsterdam, but rural areas and small villages are often thinly populated. Tagging is not 100% consistent either: some stations are tagged amenity=bicycle_repair_station, others use a generic amenity=tools. We try to catch the most important schemas, but edge cases (e.g. members-only self-service workshops) may not appear. If you know an important station that is missing, add it — everyone benefits.

More Frequent Questions

Are there stations where I can also get spare parts?
Pure repair stations only provide tools and air. Spare parts (tubes, chains, brake pads) are available at bike shops (shop=bicycle) which we also show. Many community workshops and repair cafes sell wear parts at cost — checking the website or opening_hours in the popup is worth it.
Are the compressed-air columns at fuel stations really suitable for bicycle valves?
Automotive Schrader valves fit directly. For French Presta (Sclaverand) valves you need an adapter — available for a couple of euros at any bike shop. Be careful: fuel-station columns deliver high pressure very fast; pump in short bursts and check, rather than holding it open.
How can I find which sharing scheme to use in an unfamiliar city?
Click a yellow marker — the popup usually shows an operator or brand field (e.g. Nextbike, Call a Bike, Voi). With that name you find the right app in your store. Multi-modal apps like Free Now, Bolt or the DB Navigator app often integrate several providers at once.
