  1. Steel bike bunkers could hit Swansea streets

    Storage squeeze

    Backed by Welsh Government’s Active Travel Fund, the council has launched a consultation on installing secure “Cyclehoop” hangars in residential areas. Officials say the steel bunkers, already in use across the UK, could give residents with little or no storage space at home a safe place to park their bikes.

    Each hangar is designed to hold up to six bicycles under a lockable, weatherproof cover. Residents would be able to rent a space through Cyclehoop on an annual membership basis.

    Council call‑out

    Andrew Stevens, Cabinet Member for Environment and Infrastructure, said:

    “Cyclehoop hangars are already being rolled out across the UK, and we’re excited to bring them to Swansea to support local communities. Our aim is to install them in densely populated residential areas where space for bike storage is limited. To ensure we install them where they are most needed, we need the public to get in touch and tell us where they want them to go.”

    He added that some residents may have been put off buying a bike in the past due to lack of storage, and that the scheme could encourage more people to cycle.

    How to have your say

    The consultation runs until 25 January 2026. Residents can give their views online at: www.swansea.gov.uk/cyclestorage.

    The council says responses will help decide where the hangars are placed, with final locations to be announced in the new year.

  7. Friend of mine recently invested in 3D printer and I asked him to print a wall hanger for my Strida LT foldable bike. I got it yesterday and mounted it today.
    I wasn’t sure how it will turn up, but it works and looks great. Most importantly, my commuter is now standing vertically without any risk of falling down.

  12. Has anyone here installed or used a bike ramp on stairs in their place of residence? I currently store my ~60 lb ebike in the basement of my triple-decker apartment building, which involves carrying/carefully rolling it down and up 5 or so stairs.
