Bikehangar® cycle parking

Many homes do not have space for secure cycle storage, and this is often cited as a barrier to cycling and cycle ownership. We are committed to enabling more people to choose walking and cycling, especially for short trips around the borough. Part of this commitment includes the provision of secure cycle parking.

We now have eight Bikehangar® in the borough. You can see where they are on the Cyclehoop website.

If you live in the borough and would like to apply, visit Cyclehoop website to apply for a space.

What is a bike hangar?

It is a lockable unit which provides secure cycle parking for up to six bikes.

How much does it cost to rent a space in a bike hangar?

Spaces in the hangars are subsidised for the first 12 months by BeFirst. Without a subsidy each space would cost £72 annually (£6 per month).

Users must pay a £25 refundable key deposit per space.

How do I apply for a space?

Visit Cyclehoop website and enter your postcode to find your nearest bike hangar.

How many spaces can I apply for?

There is a maximum of two spaces per household and each submission should be made individually.

How are spaces allocated?

Cycle parking spaces are allocated on a first come first served basis. If there are no spaces available when you apply you can be added to the waitlist.

Want to suggest another location?

The introduction of more bike hangars is subject to funding, however, if you would like to suggest another location, fill out the online form at Cyclehoop website.
