Welshpool Town Council has been awarded £44,950 in Welsh Government funding for the Welshpool Connected Cycling Hubs and Pola Bikes project.
The funding is part of a wider £244,950 investment in cycling infrastructure across Powys, announced by Powys County Council.
The project is being delivered in partnership with Powys County Council and other local organisations.
It includes three cycling hubs at Vicarage Gardens, Powis Castle, and the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway at Raven Square.

Each hub will feature cycle parking, repair stations, pumps, and bilingual visitor and route information.
Additional cycle parking and signage are planned for key locations such as Welshpool Railway Station, the Montgomery Canal at Buttington, and the town centre.
A new bike hire scheme, Pola Bikes, will also be launched, allowing visitors to explore the area without bringing their own bikes.
The network is expected to be operational by July 2027, with remaining works completed by January 2028.
Meanwhile Powys County Council has welcomed the award of £244,950 from the Welsh Government to boost cycling tourism.
As well as the Welshpool hub project, it will be used for cycling hub projects in north and south Powys, with £100,000 for each scheme.
Councillor Glyn Preston, Cabinet Member for a More Prosperous Powys, said: “It’s fantastic to hear about this investment being made in Powys. Having our beautiful landscapes and towns showcased on a global stage is already a wonderful opportunity, and this additional support will help us make sure the benefits of the Tour are felt long after the race.
“We are already working on how we can support local businesses and communities to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime event, and this investment will help us build on those preparations.”
