Harrow’s first cycle parking hub has officially opened in Lowlands Recreation Ground behind Harrow on the Hill station.
The new Lowlands Cycle Hub offers 40 secure cycle parking spaces, including e-bike charging stations, and will be available 24 hours a day.
Spaces can be reserved via the Spokesafe app for £1 per day, £5 per week or £10 per month. Cyclists can register their interest now through the Spokesafe website.
The scheme is a partnership between Harrow Council and Spokesafe and aims to improve cycling infrastructure in the borough. It follows other projects such as the planned cycle route between Harrow and Pinner, which is part of the council’s Flagship Actions for 2024/25.
Cllr David Ashton, Cabinet Member for Finance and Highways, said: “This is great news for Harrow’s cycling community. Not only will it provide safe and secure storage option to those travelling to and from the station, but we hope it will encourage others to cycle and use sustainable travelling options. It’s one of many ways we are putting residents first and I am looking forward to seeing the positive impact this will have.’’
Max Wilson, Spokesafe’s Founder, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Harrow Council & Falco to open this exciting new facility which should be a boost for everyone who wants to travel sustainably in and around Harrow. We’re looking forward to opening day & to playing our part helping more of the local community cycle more often!”.
