Coming to a street near you? Keep your bike safe! Rent a space in a Bikehangar!

Love to cycle but live in a flat, apartment or terraced house with no sensible or secure place to
store your bike? 

Wondering what to do with all those on-street car parking spaces cluttering up your local neighbourhood?

Well here's an idea that might just be right up your street!

Cyclehoop, in association with the London Borough of Lambeth, have already installed 13 Bikehangars, with 13 more in the pipeline. These Bikehangars will provide 156 secure bike parking spaces, which can be rented by Lambeth residents.

The Lambeth Bikehangar is the first outside cycle parking storage in London to be installed on the highway, by removing one car parking space

It is a galvanized steel bike locker with a gas sprung door and perforated side panels, offering residents in Lambeth safe and effective outside cycle storage to protect their bicycles from tough weather conditions and vandalism.

Local residents can rent a cycle parking space on an annual basis and membership costs £42 per year with a refundable deposit of £25 payable in advance.

Seem like a good idea?  Why not ask your local council if they will install similar cycle parking.
