Bikehangar

Bikehangar is a product brand of Cyclehoop, a London-based company founded in 2008 by architect and cyclist Anthony Lau. The Bikehangar is a secure, weather-resistant on-street cycle parking unit that accommodates six bicycles within approximately half the footprint of a standard car parking bay. It was developed to address the need for secure residential cycle parking in dense urban environments where indoor storage is unavailable. The product is marketed to local authorities, housing associations, developers, and architects as a modular, insurable, and accessible solution. The latest model, Bikehangar 4.2, is accredited Sold Secure Powered Cycle and Pedal Cycle Diamond, reflecting resistance to angle grinder attack through an innovative lock mechanism. It features solid steel side panels, a fail-secure lock interface, optional digital access with usage reporting, and an optional master key system. The unit also contributes to the BREEAM building certification scheme under category 04 transport, helping projects meet planning authority requirements. Bikehangar is sold primarily in the United Kingdom, with Cyclehoop stating experience with public and commercial organisations across all sectors in the UK and internationally. The product is part of Cyclehoop's broader range of cycle parking and infrastructure, which includes cycle shelters, hubs, racks, stands, lockers, and pumps. Cyclehoop also operates Hooplr, its end-user brand responsible for the installation and management of Home, described as the largest long-term residential parking scheme in the world, and Trips, an on-demand short-term parking scheme. The Bikehangar is available for both long-term residential use and short-term public use at destinations, with app-enabled access via Bluetooth and the Hooplr smartphone app. The Bikehangar has received industry recognition, including being shortlisted for the Transport Award at the NLA Awards 2015 and winning the Cycle Parking Award at the British Parking Awards 2014. It is protected by EUIPO Design Registration No. 008215446-0001. The product is priced at £4,220.00 on Cyclehoop's website and can be specified directly into projects via NBS Source.

The Bikehangar was developed by Cyclehoop, a company founded in 2008 by Anthony Lau, an architect who turned to product design after his bicycle was stolen in London. The original Cyclehoop product was created as an entry to a design competition, and the company grew from there into a provider of cycle parking and infrastructure. The Bikehangar emerged as a solution for secure on-street residential cycle parking, a need particularly acute in UK cities where many residents lack indoor storage. The unit was designed to fit within half a car parking bay while providing six accessible, secure, weather-resistant, and insurable cycle parking spaces. It became established as the market-leading solution for this application. Over time, the product was refined. The latest model, the Bikehangar 4.2, introduced an innovative lock mechanism providing resistance against angle grinder attack, improved usability and accessibility, a fail-secure lock interface, solid steel side panels, optional digital access with comprehensive reporting on use, and an optional master key system. It received Sold Secure Powered Cycle and Pedal Cycle Diamond accreditation, the highest level of security awarded by the British testing and certification body. The Bikehangar also evolved to serve short-term public use at the destination end of cycle journeys. Combining the locking mechanism, Bluetooth connectivity, and the bespoke Hooplr smartphone app, users can book spaces, manage bookings, and access a fleet of Bikehangars on the Hooplr Trips network. Cyclehoop's Hooplr brand manages both the Home long-term residential parking scheme, described as the largest in the world, and the Trips on-demand short-term scheme. The product has been recognised with awards, including being shortlisted for the Transport Award at the NLA Awards 2015 and winning the Cycle Parking Award at the British Parking Awards 2014. It is protected by EUIPO Design Registration No. 008215446-0001. Cyclehoop continues to design, deliver, and manage a high-quality range of cycle parking products, from cycle shelters and hubs to accessories, racks, and stands, serving public and commercial organisations across the UK and internationally.
