Green Travel Hub Goes Up a Gear

The journey to transform Dundee’s Bell Street multi-storey car park into a green travel facility has gone up a gear.  

Angus Cycle Hub CIC has now moved into the ground floor of the refurbished building.  

From the location, the social enterprise company will provide:

• A state-of-the-art bike shop and cycle service centre (now open to the public)
• A regional bike reuse centre, recycling over 4,000 bikes per year from recycling centres and via public donations
• Affordable access to bikes for Dundee residents
• 24hr public secure bicycle parking and storage from the end of March  
• A dedicated event room for training provision and a space for community events.
• An indoor bike skills park featuring a pump track, bike trails, coaching and learning opportunities is scheduled for full launch later in the year.

The facility is believed to be one of the first of its kind in Scotland at this scale, creating a flagship destination for active travel, skills development and community cycling.

Work to deliver the new Bell Street Hub was undertaken after Dundee City Council was allocated £14.4 million from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund and £1.6 million from Transport Scotland's Active Travel Infrastructure Fund.

Council convener of City Growth and Infrastructure Cllr Steven Rome said: “The total project represents an ambitious redevelopment of the car park into a pioneering green transport hub which is designed to help support people to change travel habits for the future.                                                                  

“I am delighted that Angus Cycle Hub CIC are now operating from the ground floor space. They have come forward with an innovative and imaginative programme and I look forward to seeing this being delivered.”

Scott Francis, Director of Angus Cycle Hub CIC, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to finally be able to accept the keys for the building after our fitting out began in December 2025. This will help our social enterprise’s long-term sustainability and allow us to consolidate a number of our projects under one roof.

“Our Dundee Cycle Hub shop at the Waterfront has now moved up to our new Bell Street location, and this is allowing us to expand and rebrand our café and eBike hire services, so customers can expect to see some exciting changes down there soon!”

The cycle hub project has been supported by multiple funders, including Tactran’s People and Place Programme.

Merry Smith, Strategy Officer from Tactran, added: "It was a pleasure seeing the exceptional transformation of Bell Street Hub and meeting the staff and volunteers working there. Tactran has been delighted to support Angus Cycle Hub and this project through People and Place funding in 2025/26."
