Call for 1,000 bike hangars in Bristol to meet huge demand
By Ellie Pipe, Thursday Mar 4, 2021
Campaigners calling for the installation of 1,000 new bike hangars in Bristol say the issue is one of social justice.
There are currently only 15 of the lockable steel pods in the city, yet the demand runs into tens of thousands of people, according to a new report by Bristol Cycling.
The campaign organisation says the lack of secure storage facilities is a major barrier preventing many people from cycling and argue it is often those on the lowest incomes who are disproportionately affected by this.
Independent journalism is needed now more than ever.
The role would be a voluntary one and those spearheading the project say it is essential the bicycle mayor is from a group that is less-represented in cycling and someone with the ability to amplify voices and demonstrate the potential to improve health and social inequalities.
“We believe that a bicycle mayor for the city will help raise the profile of cycling as a genuine mode of the transport, especially in underrepresented groups and areas,” says Bristol Cycling’s Tom Swithinbank.
“We often hear that cycling advocacy is dominated by the ‘usual suspects’, we want to change that so that other voices are heard and can demonstrate the benefits cycling could have to their communities.
