The Dolphin Cycle Hub officially opens

The Dolphin in Poole and BCP Council have announced that Dorset’s first secure public cycle storage facility officially opens on Monday, February 27.

To celebrate the opening, members of the public are invited to attend the official launch event, taking place on Monday, February 27 in the cycle hub, located by the Primark entrance to The Dolphin. The public can drop in between 10am to 2pm to view the facility and ask any questions. 

The Dorset Police Neighbourhood Team will also be on site to provide free bike tagging for attendees, which is a highly effective track and trace solution, to enhance security for bike owners. The Dolphin’s retailer, Cycle Paths, will also be in attendance to offer free bike safety checks and carry out any minor repairs or adjustments on the day. 

The Dolphin Cycle Hub uses an innovative cycle parking model provided by Spokesafe and includes secure parking for up to 34 bikes, cargo bikes and non-standard cycles. The hub offers 24-hour access for members and affordable storage options start from as little as £1 per day for Pay As You Go bookings. There are also various weekly and monthly membership packages available* for those looking for regular secure storage solutions. 

The facility has been funded by BCP Council’s Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund. Its programme, ‘Transforming Travel’, aims to create and promote greener, healthier, better-connected travel options across the county, particularly for shorter journeys. 

The Dolphin Cycle Hub also offers a repair station and pump service, personal storage lockers, and electric charger points are also available for members to use while storing their e-bikes.
