Looking at the bikehangar link it looks like you can book a spot ahead
which would be great - I generally avoid cycling to our local train station because the decent places to lock bikes up are either destroyed or wrecked - and the rest will be occupied
so if I am not arriving there first thing in the morning then I cannot guarantee a decent place to lock it up

Looks like a good idea @wiggydiggy if they're useable.
Personally I've got bike storage at my work in the city centre, but others would find it very helpful.

Same here. Last year I popped in on the ebike to have a look at office chairs in John Lewis, but was not thrilled about the bike parking in the vicinity. So I came straight back, via a street food vendor to pick up some very nice gyros, so not a completely wasted trip.
There's many of these dotted around in London but can't tell you how they work or how they are allocated to cyclists.

They ones my side of London are available to rent my local residents. Generally offered to those without outdoor space on a (some) months basis.

I would be interested to see what an angle grinder would do to it.
Being the old fart that i am ,i had similar thoughts.

Where I worked they opened the ‘bicycle store’ with a grand fanfare, and insisted all workers who cycled use it. In the fortnight I used it, the door was left open twice. End of experiment for me.

On a course this year I didn't use their bike room for the same reason, the door was unsecured and anyone with access to the building could walk in. I parked in my office and walked down daily instead.

Here in Glasgow there are many too, but in residential areas, for people living in flats to store their bikes.
You rent a bike space from the council, I hear there's a long waiting list.
The fee is around £70 for a year.
Afaik, we don't have those spaces available to rent on short stay.
I would love to be able to take my bike to town again, I haven't since the pandemic, as theft is rife.
A pound parking is nothing, really, if the box is secure.
Could you please link to the info?
The same as in London

Also this is a screenshot from the app showing the parking bays:

Phew! I was worried Leeds were getting the awful ugly space-wasting mudguard-bending derailleur-snapping Streetpods!
Those are hangers, not pods. King's Lynn has one, it's for residents not short-stay and it's been difficult to find access instructions and usage statistics.

Surely a ne'er-do-well could book a slot for his virtual bike, open the pod with the app on his (stolen) phone, park his virtual bike and angle grind himself a real bike -
