Hi HRE<

Council officers have just told me that around SE22 we'll need several people committing to a Bikehangar before they'll look to install it. So well worth talking to your neighbours to also express their interest in the link above.

The hangars only stores 6 bikes, 2 per household is more than fair, its a facility for all the community after all

Hi carlhe,


The response was great for the Hangar and I have got 7 people for the six spaces. The process may take some time and I can take your details down too if you like so if we have a drop out you can come onboard.


The application is with the council and they are to meet in the summer to discuss it further so if you want to be put on the list let me know via PM and ill send an email to them adding you on the list.

Right, I spoke to Cycle Hoop today to see how I could go about getting one close to (or yes - even better - in front of) my house and they said that all requests were passed on to the council and decisions on exact locations were made by the council, based on levels of interest. As each hanger takes six bikes, you need at least six requests nearby to have a good chance of getting one.


They will also send you canvassing cards you can pass to your neighbours though to see if there's anyone else nearby interested. I'm just waiting for mine now.


In the meantime, anyone interested in the Upland Road/Hindmans Road/bottom of Barry Road area send me a PM.

personally (and as a cyclist)I'm not massively keen on these, visually very poor, and inadequate in terms of capacity. I think there are c. 20 houses in my street, I'm, looking at 2 bikes in my hallway with another 2 in my garage, only 2 spaces left....


just my thoughts before you shout!

Easy to criticise without offering an alternative isn't it?, so what would you suggest?


Personally I think the design looks good, as well as the fact they only take up half a car parking space whilst providing secure, extremely cheap parking for 6 bikes & equipment is also a huge benefit.


As a supposed 'cyclist' yourself surely any system that facilitates bike use is nothing but a positive???

Quite. There are very few people in London who actually "need" a car and if the alternative is cycling, you definitely don't need a car. Public transport?


Anyway, anything that encourages cycling is a good thing.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
