Park responsibly and cycle confidently
Whether you are riding your own bike or using a dockless one, always choose a responsible spot to park. Do not block footways as it can make access difficult for pedestrians, especially those with mobility challenges.
There's a range of cycle parking options to make life easier for people who cycle, from secure bike hangars to convenient cycle stands, we have got you covered.
Bike hangars: secure, reliable, and convenient
We have switched! The bike hangars in the borough are now managed by Falco, making sure that you have a seamless and secure storage experience. These hangars are perfect for residents without space at home to store their bikes.
Why choose a bike hangar?
- secure and dry storage
- key-access for members only
- compact design, fitting up to 6 bikes in half the length of a parking bay
Plenty of spaces are still available - don’t miss out! Visit Falco Rentals to secure your spot today.
