Cycle parking

Secure cycle lockers

Cycle parking provides security for bikes, convenience for cyclists and an indication to the public that cyclists are welcome.

Cycle parking stands

Robust cycle parking stands are provided at convenient locations.

Always lock your bike, and observe the traffic signs that show when and where cycling is permitted.

When using the cycle stands, never obstruct a way used by pedestrians as this can cause particular problems for people with special mobility needs.

Security

Many cycle thefts are opportunistic, so invest in a good quality solid lock and use it every time. Most cable locks can be easily cut.

If your front wheels come off easily remove the front wheel and lock it to the frame and back wheel, using a second lock if necessary take easily removable parts (lights, pump etc) with you.

Ensure your cycle is easily identifiable. Make a note of the frame number, model, colour and accessories and take a photograph. Ask your cycle dealer to mark the frame with your postcode and house number. Get your cycle insured and if it is stolen report it at once to the police. Taking the above precautions will help them greatly.
