Terraced houses comprise 32% of Bristol’s housing stock, but they are not designed to accommodate cycles, nor are cycles designed to be stationary or parked outside. How cycles are stored in these houses and transitioned to the public highway presents immediate barriers to making cycle trips, irrespective of the quality of the highway infrastructure. Cycle parking in existing residential settings is an empirical gap that receives little attention from policymakers. This study undertook an inductive thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with Bristol residents who live in terraced houses, using Social Practice Theory as the theoretical framework and interviews with experts and practitioners in this field to inform the discussion. The key findings were that the materials and competencies required of residents create barriers, which are overcome only by those who are already motivated to cycle but inhibit those less inclined to cycle. Those who rent their home face immediate barriers to owning and using cycles, but homeowners have greater agency to improve cycle storage and access arrangements; cycle hangars remove many of the barriers from terraced houses, but the current provision in Bristol does not suggest it radically changes travel behaviour or car ownership; and the provision of informal cycle parking is needed to supplement hangars. This study makes the following policy recommendations: (i) empower and incentivise homeowners and landlords to provide front-of-house cycle storage for terraced houses; (ii) increase the provision and variety of cycle hangars, bring the system in-house, and remove barriers to delivery; (iii) increase provision of informal/visitor cycle parking in residential areas; and (iv) develop a kerbside strategy for Bristol to reallocate and manage highway space.
