Hackney Council are trialling our cycle parking in the form of Car Bike Port Lites which are able to take ten bicycles in a single car parking space. They have three of these at the moment and are testing them out in different locations for up to eight weeks at a time. They are transporting them around the borough to see where they get the most use from cyclists. This allows them to effectively assess where extra infrastructure is required or not as the case may be.
So, look out for them, use them and vote with your bike! Where they get used most, Hackney will consider making them permanent.
The car bike ports have visited streets including Wilton Way, Finsbury Park Road, Provost Street, Jackman Street, Fremont Street and Gransden Avenue. To suggest a site for a new bike rack email movegreener@hackney.gov.uk
