Richmond Bikehangars Consultation 2025

A bikehangar is an on-street cycle parking apparatus that securely houses six bicycles and takes up the space of about half of a car parking bay.  Bikehangars can only be accessed by registered users. They have a hydraulic opening mechanism that keeps noise to a minimum when the hangars are opened or closed.

Most bikehangars are placed within on-street car parking bays, but some are also placed on pavements where there is space to accommodate the bikehangar without impacting on pedestrian accessibility.

Bikehangars enable more residents to cycle, more often, by providing a safe and accessible location to store their bicycle. Supporting cycling is key to improving local air quality and forms a key part of the Richmond Climate Emergency Strategy.

Locations for bikehangars are driven by resident requests, primarily via the request form on the Richmond Council website. The waiting lists for existing bikehangars are also taken into consideration. The locations represent a mix of the most requested streets, and streets in areas where there are no other bikehangars nearby.

Access to each bikehangar is restricted to members. Membership is managed by CycleHoop, who also manufacture the bikehangars.

Please note each bikehangar user is required to pay a refundable deposit and an annual subscription to the supplier (currently £72), which covers administration, maintenance and any required repairs to the bikehangar.

The following streets have been proposed following high levels of local requests. The exact locations have been determined via officer visits:
