New Secure Bikehangars to Be Installed in Wards Across Cardiff
Seventeen new bikehangars will be installed across Cardiff to help residents securely park their bikes without having to bring them into their homes.
The hangars, each providing space for six bikes while taking up only half a car parking bay, will be installed on residential streets in Canton, Riverside, Plasnewydd, Cathays and Splott later this month. The scheme aims to make cycle parking more convenient and secure, so residents can access their bikes more easily, to encourage people to cycle, instead of using their private car.
Following consultation with residents in August 2025, 17 locations were identified from an initial list of 50 potential sites. Further engagement took place between December 2024 and January 2025, allowing residents to raise questions and concerns, which have now been addressed. A decision has been taken to proceed with the first phase of the scheme.
Cllr Dan De’Ath, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Strategic Planning and Transport, said: “Many residents, particularly those living in terraced homes, have told us they struggle to store their bikes securely and often have to carry them through their homes.
“These new secure hangars will provide a safe, low-cost storage option and make it easier for people to use their bikes for everyday journeys. By providing the infrastructure for people to store their bikes safely, we are actively encouraging active travel for those people that are able to do so.”
