Cycle Parking

We want to encourage cycling and that means giving people safe and convenient places to store their bikes. Cycle Parking infrastructure in the Borough consists of:

  • Cycle hangars: Designed for long term cycle parking on residential streets.
  • Cycle stands (Sheffield stands): Designed for short stay cycle parking, locations can be viewed here

Secure residential on-street cycle hangars

If you live in a house or flat with limited space, cycle storage can be a challenge. A cycle hangar takes up around half a car parking space and can store up to 6 standard bikes. This makes them efficient and cost effective.

You can find cycle hangar locations, enquire about vacancies and apply for an on street cycle hangar space here
