About cycle hangars

A cycle hangar is on-street parking for up to 6 bikes that residents can rent a space from. The hangars are covered, secure and accessible via an easily downloaded app or a lock and key.

The cycle hangars are the size of approximately one parking space, and they can store 6 standard-sized bicycles.

Some car parking spaces may be repurposed to accommodate the cycle hangars.

A cycle hanger with the side open, visible is the stand for bikes, with 5 bikes already safely stored inside.

Hangars are dark green with reflective strips on the sides for extra visibility.

The stands inside are equipped for you to lock your bike at 2 points in the hangar. Brighton & Hove City Council cannot accept responsibility for bicycles stolen from the cycle hangars.

How much a space costs

From April 2025 the spaces within the hangars will be managed by the council, and the cost of a space will be £72 per year.
