Free cycle stands for Swindon!
February 12, 2026
On your bike, Swindon: free cycle stands remove the cost barrier to cycle parking for Swindon organisations.
Your business could get a boost, as Life Cycle and Swindon Borough Council launch a new joint initiative offering free cycle stands to local organisations.
Funded by Swindon Borough Council and delivered through Life Cycle’s Take a Stand® programme, the scheme provides eligible businesses, charities and community groups with up to four Sheffield cycle stands. Creating eight secure cycle parking spaces, free delivery and installation are included.
Why Take a Stand?
By removing the installation costs, it removes barriers for businesses. Once in place, the scheme makes it easier for people to choose cycling for everyday journeys. This supports healthier lifestyles, helps reduce carbon emissions, and encourages increased footfall to community organisations.
Councillor Mike Davies, Swindon Borough Council, says:
‘’Finding the funds to install cycle parking can be prohibitive for small organisations, so having the cycle stands available at no cost removes this financial barrier. I would encourage any organisation that has space to take up this brilliant offer.”
Bernadette Thomson, Take a Stand® Coordinator at Life Cycle, adds:
“Providing free cycle parking removes a real barrier for organisations that want to support cycling but don’t have the budget. Thanks to Swindon Borough Council’s support, we can help more local organisations make sustainable travel easier and more accessible for everyone.”
How to apply
If you’re a Swindon organisation, you can apply for up to four Sheffield cycle stands (eight spaces), with delivery and installation included.
Applications are open until all stands are allocated, and demand is expected to be high, so early applications are encouraged!
