On-street installation: how it works
Getting a bike hangar installed on your street typically involves your local municipality, since on-street hangars occupy public space. The process varies by country and city, but the general path is similar in most places.
The first step is to contact your local authority, usually the transport or mobility department, to ask whether they have a bike hangar programme. Many Dutch municipalities run active programmes, and cities like Dublin are now rolling out large-scale schemes. If your city has a scheme, you register your interest and are prioritised by location and demand.
If your city has no programme yet
A petition from several residents on the same street, or a formal request from a residents' association, carries more weight than an individual application. Municipalities act more readily when there is demonstrated local demand across multiple households.
For housing associations, property managers, or developers with their own land, the process is more direct. You contact a supplier like Fietshangar, receive a quote, and arrange installation. Fietshangar can be bolted to the ground or secured with an underground frame, and is delivered pre-assembled or in sections.

The Fietshangar 2.5 is the most popular choice for residential and housing association installations, fitting six bikes in the footprint of one car parking space.
