Cyclehoop

Earlier this month, some of the team went down to The Bike Project in Deptford for a day of volunteering.

The Bike Project is a charity that collects old bikes, refurbishes them and then donates them to refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.

With an estimated 38 million unused bikes across the UK, The Bike Project work with the community and their corporate partners, like Cyclehoop, to get their hands on as many of these bikes as possible, turning them into usable modes of transport and leisure for those in need.

If you want to learn more about why the work they do is so important, or even want to donate an old bike, find out more in the comments!

Calling all Home and Trips users, give Hooplr a follow!

Hooplr is the new home for our cycle parking subscription and booking management services. Our residential cycle parking subscription service, previously called Cyclehoop Rentals, is now Hooplr Home and our destination cycle parking service is now known as Hooplr Trips.

Surveys suggest that 41% of people in England have access to a bicycle*, but lack of secure parking is the one of the biggest hurdles preventing them from travelling by bike.

Thanks to funding secured through the City regional sustainable transport Settlement, we partnered with Leeds City Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to launch Hooplr Trips in Leeds!

Trips is our secure destination cycle parking service, and in just 2 weeks since launch, we've already had over 75 bookings with numerous repeat customers - if you build it, they will come!

Using the Hooplr app, available for android and iOS, users can access the Hooplr network, search for locations, make bookings, lock and unlock Bikehangars, add credit to their account, and more.

Having more people travelling by bike creates healthier communities, and helps councils and local authorities meet their climate action goals.

We're famous for our Bikehangars. So famous, in fact, that our design is constantly "inspiring" other cycle storage companies' designs...

BUT, we also supply a whole range of other cycle parking solutions like our SecurePro Two Tier, the ideal solution for high density parking. We're the only manufacturer and supplier whose Two Tier product has achieved Sold Secure Silver accreditation for both top and bottom tiers and our gas-assist piston makes accessing the top tier easier and safer than ever before.

If you haven't noticed, it's hot outside.

As much as we love people cycling and creating healthier communities, we also want everyone to be careful out there so please remember to wear plenty of sun cream, drink lots of water, and take a break if you feel yourself over heating!

40 Bikehangars up and running in Wales. That's another successful install for us and 240 safe, secure cycle parking spaces for residents.

Our Bikehangars were installed across seven different housing associations and eight local authority areas as part of phase one of their Cycle Hangar project. Specific housing association proposed the sites following an initial expression of interest. Travel for Wales (TfW) then carried out joint site visits to evaluate each location to ensure the best fit for the cycle hangars and the housing associations.

Over 70% of respondents to our customer survey agreed that having a Bikehangar space encouraged them to cycle more. Installing reliable cycle infrastructure that works can feed the nation's appetite for cycling and help us swap car journeys for a bike.
