Liverpool’s bike sharing scheme Citybike has installed its 100th station in the city.

The new station can be found within the car park of the Titanic Hotel, in the World Heritage listed Stanley Dock, at the heart of the Ten Streets creativity district. It can accommodate 10 Citybikes at any one time and connects the district to a network of stations across the city with the scheme boasting 500 citybikes.  

Located near to the Regent Road entrance the Ten Streets citybike station provides easy access to the city centre which is less than a 10 minute ride away.

Regent Road is currently undergoing a multi-million pound revamp and will boast a new cycle lane which will eventually connect up a 20-mile route from Otterspool, in the south of the city, to Ainsdale in Sefton.

The roadworks are part of a £100m investment in the road infrastructure surrounding the Ten Streets district, which also includes two new waterfront link roads for the city council’s prosed new Cruise Terminal and Isle of Man Ferry Terminal.

Cllr James Noakes, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “There is a growing number of emerging businesses in the district and the ability for business people to hop on to a Citybike and be in the city centre inside 10 minutes – and vice versa – is going to be invaluable to those who prefer not to drive.

“Our Citybike programme is hugely popular and I look forward to seeing another station or two popping up around the North Liverpool area as this district starts to flourish and the new cycle route along Regent Road becomes operational.”
