Secure cycle parking

You can now make use of safe, weatherproof cycle hangars when visiting the city centre. These hangars are provided by our partners Hooplr, hold the highest security rating currently on the market (sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond), and are operated using an application on your smartphone.

This secure cycle parking operates on a pay-as-you-go basis and starts from just 50p for up to 2 hours. Bluetooth technology enables the hangars to be locked and unlocked without a physical key. There are 9 standard cycle hangars, with 6 parking spaces, across the city centre, and one cargo cycle hangar which can fit 2 adapted cycles or cargo bikes located on Bond Street.

Find out more by downloading the Hooplr Trips app.
