Cyclists in Maidstone rejoice!
Trips, our secure short-term bike parking service, has launched in Maidstone town centre.
This marks a significant step forward for cycling accessibility in Maidstone. With Cyclehoop’s innovative Bikehangars, cyclists can now park their bike quickly and conveniently, safe in the knowledge it is secure while they shop, commute by train, or grab a bite to eat.
The benefits of app-accessed cycle parking
Our user-friendly system offers several benefits for cyclists:
- Peace of mind: Secure Bikehangars safeguard bikes against theft, vandalism, and bad weather.
- Convenience: The Bikehangars are strategically located around the town centre, making them easily accessible for cyclists on the go.
- Accessibility: The service is accessed by the Cyclehoop App which is free to download from the Google Play Store and the App Store. The app is easy to use for cyclists of all ages and abilities.
- Value for money: Pricing starts at 15p for half an hour.
We’re excited to bring Trips to Maidstone – the first units on the service in the South of England! Creating a network around the country enables cyclists to travel anywhere, knowing that they will find secure destination parking when they arrive at their journey’s end.

The launch of Cyclehoop Trips in Maidstone is a positive development for the town’s cycling infrastructure. By providing secure short-term bike parking in Maidstone, people are encouraged to choose cycling for their everyday journeys. This will not only reduce traffic congestion and air pollution but it also promotes a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for Maidstone residents.
Local cyclists are looking forward to the new service:
The Bikehangar project is an excellent initiative to provide substantial secure storage areas that can give users much more confidence in the security of their bikes.
