We're excited to share that Spokesafe is partnering with Manchester City Council and APCOA to manage the cycle parking at the brand-new Ancoats Mobility Hub – and it's opening this May!

If you haven't heard about it yet, the Ancoats Mobility Hub is a first-of-its-kind facility in the UK, designed to make sustainable transport easier and more accessible for everyone in Manchester. We're proud to be playing our part by looking after the dedicated cycle parking inside the hub.

So, what can you expect?

The facility offers space for 150 bikes, with a mix of racks to suit everything from standard bikes and e-bikes to cargo bikes. Whether you're commuting in from further afield, zipping around on an e-bike, or dropping the kids at school in a cargo bike, we've got you covered.

And it doesn't stop at secure parking. Cyclists using the Mobility Hub will also have access to toilets, showers, and personal storage lockers – everything you need to freshen up and store your kit before heading into work or on to your next stop.

Pricing is simple:

• £1 per day

• £5 per week

• £10 per month

It’s a flexible setup that works whether you’re parking once in a while or riding in every day.

Access is via the Spokesafe app, and while we’re not quite ready for bookings just yet, we’d love for you to sign up now so you're first in line when the facility opens. Just head to our Ancoats page and fill in the quick form.

Whether you're a daily commuter, live locally, or run a business nearby, the Ancoats Mobility Hub is designed to help make cycling in Manchester that bit easier, more secure, and a lot more convenient.

We'll be back soon with another update once doors officially open – but in the meantime, get yourself signed up and ready to roll!
