Love this Wolf!

Thanks Lou! We've had so many lovely comments from cyclists in Cardiff already - it's great to be there :)

Such a lovely message to read on a Friday evening Wolf. Have a safe ride home!

Haha sorry Wolf! After 6 years we felt it was time for an update.

You've also reminded us to update it on here too - thank you for having our back!

Getting station cycle parking right is vital to encourage behaviour change. In 2024, we facilitated over 250,000 journeys by bike - and we're just getting started.

And if there's no space for a hub? We provide secure lockers for short, medium and long-stay parking - all bookable instantly.

Retrofitting hubs with digitally connected locks, so any cyclist can sign up & access securely via the Spokesafe app.

At Spokesafe, we're proud to work with providers like Network Rail, Greater Anglia, TfL, and LA's across the UK to deliver this standard across the UK.

How do we do it?

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.

3. Simple sign up processes.

While it's tempting to think you'll increase the number of cyclists at your station by reducing friction, a sign up process means you'll know who is using your facility.

A brazen thief will now have to submit their info before stealing a bike.

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.

Thanks Wolf! We actually have this in place at our facility in Poole, the Dolphin Cycle Hub. We're not best placed to provide this but we'll have a chat with our local partners who are experts :)

... Once we have identified the root cause of the issue we will solve for it moving forwards. Always a learning process to make sure each individual location is as reliable as possible. Thanks for your patience again!

Hi Wolf, apologies for the inconvenience yesterday morning. We actually tend to use batteries across most sites as these are simpler to manage as part of a PPM process. We are investigating the site wide power failure yesterday (it caused outage across the full site, not just the door) and...

Thanks for the shout out guys! We'd love to get started in Cardiff :)

Thanks for the shout-out guys!

We are gradually transforming more and more underutilized spaces into cycle parking across the UK.

It's a slow burn, but the wheels are gradually turning... :)

I hate ‘em
Nearly every Sheffield stand I have ever seen is either
Bent
Got vandalised bikes
Have bikes stolen from them
Are used as toilets
Rarely in the right place
Means I have to carry my body weight in Bicycle locks

Naw, gi’me proper secure bicycle parking

Very suave!
