Transport for West Midlands has launched Cycle Parking for Organisations supported by Park That Bike scheme to help organisations across the region with free cycle parking.

The scheme aims to encourage more cycling and people to use their bikes to get around by offering to deliver free bike racks to up to 100 businesses, health establishments and community organisations.

Applicants can define the sort of parking they need – conventional or heart-shaped stands, wall-mounted rails or free-standing “toast racks” and and they will then get help on choosing the location. They’ll then have four weeks to install the new parking on site.

Stands must be on private land.
