Secure cycle parking in central Birmingham

[bhoot]

Does anyone know whether this exists for visitors? I see there are schemes aimed at commuters/regulars requiring signing up, but I am looking for something casual for say half a day. Happy to pay a reasonable amount (although I note that this facility is available FOC in many Dutch towns and cities!)

There's a cycle hub somewhere in the bowels of Mordor Central.  Never used it, but it appears that it's free and requires some sort of application in advance for a card:

https://www.tfwm.org.uk/terms-and-conditions/cycle-hub/

The application page seems to have vanished, thobut.


Maybe one of the bike shops might be able to do something if you ask nicely?


FWIW the general lack of cycle parking (secure or otherwise) in central Birmingham was one of my motivations for buying a Brompton about 10 years ago.  Things have improved somewhat since then.
