On-street bike stores for inner city Glasgow

Glasgow City Council is  to install secure on-street cycle parking facilities for residents living in tenement properties. 

Many of Glasgow’s inner city properties are Victorian tenements with narrow stairwells that hamper the storage and movement of bicycles. Cycle theft can also be a problem.

The council plans to install cycle parking facilities at 50 locations, at an estimated cost of £250,000. Where necessary the facilities will replace vehicle parking. 

The council will run a tender this summer to appoint a contractor to provide and manage the units. Residents will pay for a key to access the facilities, ensuring that the council does not have to provide ongoing financial support
