CYCLING to Worcester’s city centre just got a lot easier, thanks to the arrival of new secure bike lockers at the Arches.
The enclosed lockers store bikes individually and are available to hire at an hourly rate, through the Bikedok app without the need for personal locks or keys.
Once booked, users can leave their bike, helmet and any bags stored while they work, shop or travel. The lockers are provided by Bikedok and can be booked and pre-booked through a mobile phone application, which also shows how many lockers are currently available.
The lockers are priced at 45p per hour, or in bundles of £1.40 for four hours or £2.40 for eight hours. There are different sized lockers for standard bikes and for cargo bikes, both at the same price.
Councillor Hannah Cooper, vicr chair of Worcester City Council’s place and economic development committee said: “These new lockers are a practical step towards making cycling a more attractive option for commuters and visitors to Worcester.
“Secure bike and cargo bike parking is essential if we want people to choose active travel, and this location near Foregate Street station is ideally placed to support that.”
