An on-demand cycle parking scheme has launched in Leeds today, aiming to help cyclists keep their bikes secure when travelling around the city.
Designed, developed, and delivered by Hooplr, in partnership with Leeds City Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the service has been made possible thanks to funding secured through the City Regional Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS).
The secure, weather-proof units are available now with nine standard cycle hangars and one cargo-bike hangar installed across the city centre. Each hangar can accommodate up to six bikes, while the cargo-bike hangar provides space for two cargo bikes or adapted cycles. Both types of hangar meet the highest security accreditation currently available (Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond), and are equipped with a secure ground anchor locking point to accommodate a range of cycle frame types.
Customers can manage their bookings, lock and unlock the hangars, add credit and find vacant parking spaces, all through the Hooplr smartphone app.
The units are located in the following areas:
- St Anne’s Street, LS1 8TL
- Bond Street, LS1 2JY (cargo-bike hangar)
- New Briggate, LS1 6NU
- City Square, LS1 2ES
- Park Square South, LS1 2FJ
- South Parade, LS1 5QS
- Edward Street (near Eastgate), LS2 7LY
- Kirkgate Market, LS2 7DF
- The Calls, LS2 7EW
- Waterloo Street, LS10 1JA
