How to get parking for your bike?
Request a Bikehangar
Bikehangars provide a good solution for securing your bike, particularly when there isn’t room inside your home. Haringey Council offers these to local residents although supply is not meeting demand. We have created a guide on how to request one for your neighbourhood.
Request a Sheffield stand
Sheffield stands provide an invaluable aid when you’re looking to lock your bike when you’re popping into a shop, local library, doctors or sports ground. Haringey Council have instructions on the below link.
How can I increase the security of my treasured bicycle?
Register your bike
The Metropolitan Police have some handy advice on how to reduce the chance of your bike being stolen. Among the advice is adding your bike’s details to BikeRegister which means that if your bike is located after being stolen, the police will know who to return it to. You will find bike marking events happening in London at various times.

Report interference with the LTN cameras
