A new secure way to store your bike on the go
Bike hubs –
a new secure way to store your bike on the go
What are Bike hubs?
Bike hubs are a managed bike parking system that can store one or two adult bikes plus cycling gear. This system is managed and designed by BikeAway ltd who have nearly 25 year’s experience in secure cycle storage. Designed to encourage social cycling and secure storage at leisure areas or transport hubs, this is a great way to store your bike safely whilst getting some quality time with your friends or out and about shopping and socialising.
A great solution to flexible secure cycle storage, that is easy to use and book.
Easy to book and use
Download the Bike hubs App and register.
Find, book and pay for the allocated amount of time. Bike hubs can be booked in advance.
Request code via App at the start of your booking time. Enter key code into the BikeHubs App to activate Smart Lock.
Finish rental, remove belongings close and lock door. Select ‘Finish with Hangar’ on the App by the end of your rental period to avoid a penalty charge.
First time users-how to practice and get a refund
Practice using the Bike hubs and get a refund
If this is your first time using a Bike hub, we recommend that you take some time to get familiar with the instructions, how to use videos and the locking mechanism. You don’t even need to have a bike with you, simply book the hangar for one hour and get familiar with how your phone interacts with the NFC reader, App and booking system. Once you have received the code you can open and close the door as many times as you like during that hour. BikeAway will refund you this first hour of use so long as you email in**@******ay.com with your booking reference. *
*This practice session cannot be extended*
Refunds are only available for a trial practice for a one hour session.
