Inner city cyclists needing somewhere to leave their bikes can now use the Lichfield Street Car Park.
Alix Newman, Christchurch City Council transport projects officer, says there are now 25 individual cycle racks at the car park.
"Access to the car park is on the ground floor. Cyclists can use their own chains or D-locks to secure their bikes in this area for free. Use of storage lockers for helmets and other gear is $2 each," he said.
Cyclists should use the Cashel Mall or Plymouth Lane access to the car park, which is open every day except Sundays.
Secure cycle facilities are also available at Noahs car park in Oxford Terrace and will be installed in the Manchester Street car park by the spring. The new Farmers car park will also have secure bike parks.
