We support cycle hire schemes as one of the active travel options available to help residents reduce emissions, improve overall health, and save money.
HumanForest cycle hire in Merton
We seek to work constructively with all operators of cycle hire schemes. This includes formal agreements that set expectations in relation to parking and other service standards. We have entered into a formal agreement with HumanForest to operate a dockless e-bike hire scheme covering the whole of Merton.
For further information visit the Human Forest website and our news story Merton and HumanForest offer residents access to affordable and sustainable e-bikes (December 2022)
Consultations for cycle hire parking bays
Parking bays can be virtual or physically marked on the ground, either on the footway or on the carriageway. Cycle hire parking bays created on the carriageway are subject to a statutory consultation. Details of any statutory consultations to create cycle hire bays are listed below.
