Cycle Parking
Cycle parking is an important part of providing for cycling in Enfield. People need to be able to store their bikes safely at home and then have somewhere suitable to park their bike when travelling to town centres and other destinations.
Overview
Enfield Council is keen to ensure that cycle parking in public places is placed sympathetically to the street environment, whilst meeting the need for parking bikes conveniently and safely.
We welcome requests for cycle parking from residents and businesses in Enfield. Please use our cycle parking request form to suggest new cycle parking. There are different types of cycle parking available to suit the needs of different locations.
On street cycle stands
Short stay visitor parking is available in town centres, at community buildings, transport hubs etc, so cycle journeys like a quick ride to the shop, the park or to see friends will become more convenient and accessible.
In Enfield we normally use ‘U’ shaped stands, known as Sheffield stands. Where space is limited, cycle hoops may be attached to lamp posts instead.
Residential bike hangars
Secure cycle parking is being introduced to residential areas. Our residential bike hangars can fit 6 bikes in half the space needed to park a car. A hangar space costs £12 per year to rent (with a refundable £25 key deposit). Bike hangars are suitable for areas where lots of people live in flats and inadequate storage options prevent them from cycling.
20 bike hangars have been installed across the borough so far and we are planning another 15 locations for 2019/20.
We have received suggestions for over 200 secure cycle parking locations from residents and are working hard to prioritise areas of high demand and potential to cycle more where a suitable location can be found. Thank you for sharing your suggestions with us and your patience while we work through the backlog of requests. We will keep you informed on progress.

We recently received funding of £120,000 to install more residential cycle hangars across Enfield. Please see here for our recent update.
