Secure residential bike parking at scale
The Netherlands has some of the most developed cycling infrastructure in the world, and secure residential bike parking has become a core part of urban mobility planning for Dutch municipalities. The approach that has emerged over the past two decades centres on on-street bike hangars placed within car parking spaces on residential streets.
Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Haag, and Amsterdam all operate programmes placing certified secure hangars on residential streets. Rotterdam alone has deployed over 1,100 Fietshangars, one of the largest programmes of its kind in Europe.
Why Fietshangar is the standard choice
Fietshangar is the market-leading product for municipal bike storage in the Netherlands. It carries the Dutch Police Keurmerk and is the only bike storage product with SKG-IKOB anti-theft certification (KE 470), a standard Dutch municipalities increasingly specify in public tenders. Its 25-year technical lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements make it a reliable long-term investment for city budgets.
Starting a municipal programme
Municipalities across Europe are looking to Dutch cities as a model for residential bike storage. The Fietshangar 1.8 is the standard unit for municipal street deployments. View the product specification to understand dimensions, certification, and installation options.
