Wandsworth Bikehangars Consultation 2024

What is a bikehangar?

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 Wandsworth Environment and Sustainability Strategy.

Why have these locations been chosen?

Locations for bikehangars are driven by resident requests, primarily via the request form on the Wandsworth Council website. The locations represent a mix of the most requested streets and streets in areas where there are no other bikehangars nearby.

How do I access a bikehangar?

Access to each bikehangar is restricted to members. Membership is managed by either CycleHoop or Falco, 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 bike hangar. For further information about bikehangars, please visit Residential cycle storage - Wandsworth Borough Council.
