Free Cycle Parking

Life Cycle UK can provide free cycle parking stands to voluntary organisation, community groups and small businesses in Bristol, Bournemouth and Swindon thanks to the support of local authorities.

Secure, visible cycling parking is a great way to deter bicycle thieves.  It is also a great way to encourage more cycling, as people are more likely to make a journey by bike if they know there will be somewhere safe to lock it on arrival.

Who is eligible for free cycle stands?

We are currently funded by Bristol, B&NES, Bournemouth and Swindon Councils to adminster the scheme.   In these areas, we accept applications from voluntary sector groups, schools, small businesses, churches, pubs, surgeries - in fact almost any type of small organisation!

Availability during 2012:

Installation and information

Life Cycle is unable to install your stands  - you will need to arrange to have them installed yourselves.  Terms and conditions and some guidance on installing your stands can be found here. (This document also gives advice on which type of stand you should ask for).
