Northampton’s Bikeshare Closes

Cycle CoNNect, a small Hourbike dock-based bikeshare system in Northampton, has closed last week.

The system launched in 2014 with council funding but had been run on a commercial basis since 2017. The system had become unsustainable after vandalism and increased operational costs.

It launched with 25 bikes, reaching a maximum of 46 bikes in spring 2018. At its closure it had 14 docking stations.
