Secure cycle hangars

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 managed by your smartphone. 

Rent a space for your bike in them from a matter of minutes to overnight and use your phone's Bluetooth to lock and unlock the units. The original Bikehangar holds space for up to 6 bikes whilst the Cargo Bikehangar holds space for 2 adapted cycles or cargo bikes.
