New hangars installed for bike storage

A further tranche of cycle hangars offering secure bike storage have been installed in Bath.

- 

This latest phase sees 20 new hangars installed - adding to the 21 already in place - supporting Bath & North East Somerset Council's commitment to promoting active travel and sustainable transport.

Each hangar provides secure, weather-protected storage for up to six bicycles and occupies just half the space of a standard car parking bay.

Spaces are available to rent for a fee of £60 per year.

A secure space to store cycles aims to encourage more people to consider using a bicycle and to enable more travel choices as well as helping improve health and wellbeing.

Since the hangars were introduced in 2023, the occupancy rate has grown to 94%, as of April this year.

In Bath alone, the hangars have been at capacity for almost one year.
