If anybody would like a template email, this is what we sent:

Hi there, 

We are mailing to request for a Bike Hanger to be installed within Bowes Park. 

We saw the article on the Haringey website: (http://www.haringeycyclists.org/2015/02/08/suggest-a-bikehangar-loc...)

We think our area could really benefit from one of these, as many people like us, live in small properties with no storage for bikes used to commute every day to work.

Furthermore it could encourage the use of bikes, reducing car traffic, air pollution in the area.

Yours sincerely,

Lindsay & Mathew

Hi,

Done! Meanwhile, did you think of getting a bike shed? There is quite a few of them around. They really make sense too.

Glad to hear you're finding our website useful! To be aware, we are copied in to A LOT of requests for bikehangers, while Haringey Council only get funding for about 30 per year. You can maximise your chances by getting the support of your neighbours to demonstrate demand, to reassure those deciding where these things will go that the bikehanger to fill up as soon as it's installed.

Good luck!
