4. Flexible membership models.

Busy high-turnover sites are safer than empty ones. But most secure facilities only annual memberships - limiting their usage to just regular commuters.

Expand who can use your facility & when.

2. Digital access control systems.

Installing an access control system (ACS) means entrances are tracked and recorded.

Not only is this handy for security - your cycle parking facility will now collect usage data & provide you with unique transport behaviour insights.

1. Install genuinely secure cycle parking infrastructure that works for long-stays.

Exposed bike racks work for short stays.

For anything longer than a few hours, regular users need hubs or lockers.

Great to see a Beryl hire bike installation by our unit at Stevenage station - turning this space into a real mobility hub.

Off to the station and need a secure place to park your bike? Or heading to Stevenage for the day and want to get around town? You're covered either way!

We've since rolled out this model in other locations, including the Dolphin shopping centre in Poole and Southside in London too. We also manage a pretty popular former retail unit over in Newport!

So if you have an empty retail unit going spare... Why not transform it into secure cycle parking?

And between it's opening in June 2022, and it's temporary closure while Derbion found it's new home in July 2024, Derbion Cycle Hub generated over 24,000 cycle journeys.

Do people cycle outside of London? You bet they do.

With 28 racks + cargo bike specific spaces, lockers, and a bike repair station thrown in, it's truly a first-class facility.

Cyclists from Derby & beyond can book sign up, view availability, reserve & access straight away via the Spokesafe app.

And the best bit? It costs less than the price of a decent bike to retrofit this onto cycle parking facilities.

Take TfL's Finsbury Park Cycle Hub. We added the Daily booking option in March, and have already facilitated over 647 Daily bookings by 114 cyclists.

These are all people who would not have signed up to the facility previously - and these journeys by bike would have been lost.

As an organisation devoted to cycle parking, we need to change this.

Which is exactly why we developed our operating system, Spokesafe_OS. With just the addition of a keypad on a door, now any cycle parking facility can add multiple booking options which reflect the needs of cyclists.

But it taught us a key lesson—there’s huge demand for one-off bookings at cycle parking facilities.

Our Soho unit, the size of two parking spaces, has seen 1,267 cyclists use this option.

This is why we now offer dynamic bookings, including Daily options, in the Spokesafe app.

So true Ben. We tend to try and get our location partners to install the following set up which is a nice mix of accessibility & space efficiency.

Cyclists who use the service can then also book the rack type which suits their bike in advance of arrival too.
