Merton Council have advised the MCC that they have placed an initial order for eight Bikehangers in order to test their use in the borough.
The Bikehanger is a secure cycle parking device designed by Cyclehoop. Each unit can hold six bicycles, protecting them from theft, vandalism and providing shelter from rain. They can be installed in place of a car parking space on street, or away from the road such as within the grounds of a residential estate.
Merton Council would welcome suggestions for where these first eight Bikehangers could be best used. If you have a proposal, please email info@mertcyclists.org or tweet @LCCinMerton with your ideas.
Following this initial set of eight units, the total order will eventually amount to thirty seven for the borough of Merton.
