Altrincham Interchange’s new cycle hub has finally opened.

The secure hub, which can take 56 bikes, is accessed by swipe card and contains lockers for storing cycle helmets and other cycling accessories.

Use of the hub costs just £10 a year, which also gives cyclists access to 10 other local hubs across Greater Manchester, with more membership options available at Manchester City Tower and MediaCityUK cycle hubs, which offer showers and lockers.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) Committee Chair, Councillor Andrew Fender, was joined by Councillor John Reilly, Executive Member for Environment and Operations at Trafford Council, and the TfGM Committee Cycling Champion, Councillor Chris Paul, at the new facility.

Councillor Fender said: “The new cycle hub is great news for Altrincham, adding the final touch to the fantastic new transport interchange. Cycling is a really important part of the transport jigsaw and being able to leave your bike in safety at the new hub will make it much easier to commute by bike.

“It’s right next to the railway station and Metrolink stop, so I’d encourage people to think about getting out of their cars and on their bike for the first and last part of their commute or leisure journey.”

Altrincham’s £19m transport interchange opened its doors last December.
