Cyclehoop your street

Bicycle parking need not be a drab affair; Cyclehoop is pioneering practical and elegant bike storage that takes the place of a car parking space.

Aside from the obvious advantages of secure on-street storage for city folk, the reclamation of road space broadcasts a powerful message about the efficiency of cycling in the urban environment.

The car shape acts as a barrier to protect parked bicycles from the cars, boasts an integrated pump and demonstrates how many bikes can be parked in the space that would otherwise be occupied by a single car.

The Bikehangar is a communal bike locker that stores up to six bicycles. Featuring a self-lifting door, the steel design protects bicycles from vandalism and wet weather.

Cyclehoop works with local councils to provide a fully managed rental scheme for which local residents pay around £30 a year to use.
