Bikehangars are secure storage units for bicycles. Each unit typically stores 6 bicycles and is placed either on the street or on council or private property. There are now more than 300 hangars in Camden and there are plans to deliver at least 100 more every year but there is still a long waiting list and funding is an issue. CycleHoop used to supply and manage all the hangars but now some are supplied and managed by Falco.
The locations of existing and planned hangars are shown on Camden’s interactive map –
There are also updated interactive maps on the Cyclehoop and Falco websites.
You can record your need for a Bikehangar space with Cyclehoop and Falco, using their webpages; they will ask for your postcode. If you can’t find a space, you can register for a waiting list; you may also want to ask for a new hangar to be installed.
Camden Council will consider requests from groups of residents to install Bikehangars in their streets, this now includes hangars with spaces for cargo and/or adapted bikes. Please:
- Ask for a new hangar on your street using Camden’s webpage
- Get your neighbours to do the same
- Talk to your local councillor about funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
- and, please, if Camden have a consultation, reply in favour!
