Who cycles to work? And who would like to have secure storage for their bikes? Finally get that bike out of your way at home. I’m looking for people to join and support a request to Lewisham Council for Kilmorie Road to get its own Bikehanger.
What do you think? They install them in January and September, so let’s send them as many request as we can here: Bikehangar hire: application form
Otherwise, I would be up for funding it ourselves if people are keen.
Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to hear your thoughts.

Thanks so much for posting this; I’ve just moved to Stanstead Road, around the corner from Kilmorie Road, and have registered interest in a space. Hope they can install a hangar this year!
So how does this work and what do they look like? Sorry but a lot of the links on earlier discussions don’t work. Do they go on the pavement or (hopefully!) the road? And do you pay rent for a designated space, like if you were lucky enough to get a council garage, or is it free but first come first served and open to anyone, like a bike stand or kerbside car/motorcycle parking?
Parking is quite difficult on this road due to all the driveways, so the issue might be finding a free space on the road.
Do the residents of the houses have to agree?
I would think further down nearer to Vancouver might be better as there are two long sections not in front of anyone’s houses.
Agree that there isn’t enough parking space due to driveways and that people could store them in their front garden / back garden. Possibly as suggested, better by Vancouver road or perhaps by the school where they ban parking in the first instance
Looks like it’s happening at the corner of Vancouver and Kilmorie!
Hope it benefits cyclists without adding to the traffic chaos at that corner at school drop off / pick up which has become worse since Kilmorie became a school street.
If placed close enough to the corner it may actually make it safer.
