Cycle parking, repair stations and maintenance

Cycle parking

Whether you’re using your own ride or a dockless bicycle, always choose a responsible spot to park up. Do not block footways as this can make it difficult for other pedestrians, especially those with mobility problems, to get around.

Acceptable places to park include: in a designated cycle parking area, by the kerbside providing adequate room is left to get round the bike.

Bike hangers

We have introduced Cyclehoop and Falco bike hangers on a number of streets to allow residents to hire a space to store their bicycle. Each hanger can store up to 6 bicycles. 

You can request a bike hanger on your street by emailing highwaysandinfrastructure@brent.gov.uk Please include the desired location. We will add you to the waiting list and contact you when funding becomes available.

Cycle stands

You can find cycle stands at a number of locations across the borough. Search for cycle stands and other bike parking near you on the Active Things website.

Bike maintenance

It’s important to maintain your bike to ensure that it has a long life and is safe. Have your bike serviced once a year. Most bike shops offer bike servicing and you can usually pick up your bike the same day.
