Residential cycle parking

Residential cycle parking

We’ve had hundreds of requests from Sheffield residents for secure cycle parking.

We’ve already installed cycle hangars in neighbourhoods across the city and we’re continuing to expand the project so that more people can securely store a bike close to home.

Watch our video to find out more about cycle hangars in Sheffield.

About renting a space for your bike


Cycle hangars provide secure, long-term cycle parking to make it easier, quicker, and more convenient to ride a bike regularly. For an annual fee of £72, you can rent your own individual cycle space for as long as you need it.

Our cycle hangars are managed by Cyclehoop. Once a hangar is installed and ready to use, you can book a space directly on Cyclehoop's website. Some hangars are managed by Falco UK. To book a space, visit Falco’s website.

Falco and Cyclehoop handle the rental process on our behalf. This includes:

  • managing bookings and payments through their website
  • providing access to hangars
  • handling data securely
  • managing waiting lists

They will be your first point of contact for any questions or issues about renting a space

How we choose cycle hangar locations

We want to make cycling easier for more people. To do this, we usually install hangars on residential streets, close to homes - especially in areas where people don’t have a drive or garage. We prioritise locations based on:

  • the number of requests we receive
  • how close the location is to homes and high-density housing
  • how close it is to current or planned cycle routes
  • how close it is to city or district centres

From our experience, cycle parking should:

  • be as close as possible to where it’s needed
  • maximise cycle security
  • feel safe and accessible to use
  • meet current and future demand for cycle parking
  • keep pavements clear for everyone, including people with disabilities
  • avoid blocking sightlines so that everyone can use the road safely
  • leave space for larger vehicles like bin lorries
  • ensure access for private properties and businesses
  • allow access to properties for people who are registered as disabled

Other considerations:

  • Hangars need a flat, hard surface so we can’t install them on hills or uneven ground.
  • If there are parking restrictions (like permit bays), we may need to change Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs). This legal process can take six to nine months and adds cost.
  • We may consider hangars at workplaces or visitor destinations where organisations want to offer long-term paid cycle parking.

Check our FAQs for details about hangar placement and other questions.

How we update residents about cycle hangars

We’ll write to residents near proposed locations with more details. If a hangar goes ahead, we’ll provide updates about installation.

Current hangar locations

You’ll find hangar locations and rental space availability on the Cyclehoop and Falco rentals websites and listed below. We occasionally relocate hangars subject to demand.

Funding

The project is backed by the UK Government with funding specifically allocated for walking, wheeling and cycling projects. Extra funding from the Clean Air Zone will support the project.
