Are there places to lock personal bikes at the front of Epcot/Studios/AK/MK?

[Wekiva]

We will be spending a long weekend at a hotel w/in biking distance from Epcot and Studios. Is there a place where we could lock up our bikes at either park? At Epcot we'd actually be closer to the back entrance by France so my question would include both entrances to Epcot.

Thanks

Just stopping by to say that this is the first time I've ever seen this question
posted here.


I'm not sure that they even allow biking on the roadways and in the parking lots (you'd have to enter into the parking lots to get to the front gates of most of the parks) at WDW.

There are no bike parking stands in front of the parks, at last check.

AFAIK, you MIGHT be able to bike on the path between Epcot and DHS (below) as they rent bikes and surreys at Boardwalk (they may even restrict the bikes to the sidewalks around the lake between Boardwalk and Yacht/Beach, and Swan/Dolphin.)

But, as far as parking your own bike at Epcot's International Gateway or DHS, I think not.

I don't believe there are bike racks at any of the theme parks. WDW is not a particularly bike-friendly area; the walking paths are usually full of pedestrians and the roads are major highways with minimal shoulders, no sidewalks and busses flying by at 55 mph+.

Which resort are you staying at?

We are staying at Wyndham-Bonnet Creek Resort. I doubt we'll bring the bikes...was just curious.

Thanks

No, you cannot lock your bikes at the entrance to any parks. Security can and will break the locks and confiscate your bikes.

As Robo stated, you can rent bikes from the Boardwalk Community Hall (and also the marina at Y&B), but you are restricted to riding the bike on the path around Crescent Lake and to Epcot/DHS. You cannot park your bike anywhere.

1) Bicycles are allowed on WDW highways/streets.
. . . WDW streets are permitted
. . . WDW resort roadways are permitted
. . . WDW resort sidewalks are not permitted
. . . DTD sidewalks are not permitted
. . . FW has roads and bike paths for riding, plus bike parking areas
2) However, no bike parking near the theme park entrance.
3) You can park a bike in the park's car lots, near the motorcycles.
4) There is a cage/stand for bicycle parking and locking.
5) But, no parking near the International Gateway entrance to Epcot.


NOTE1: Most who use their own bikes at WDW keep them in their resort room, as there is no resort parking area for bicycles. This avoids theft, but also makes for a crowded room.

NOTE2: There are many CM's that ride their bikes to work. Of course, they have a different parking area than the general public. They usually park their bicycles in the same area in which we park our motorcycles (depending upon the building, park, resort, etc).
