When planning a new development, one challenge is figuring out how much bike parking you’ll actually need. The thing about an existing site is that, as silly as it sounds, you can’t simply stand outside and count how many people arrive by bike. But with new developments, there are no commuters to jot down, no […]
Great cycle parking can encourage more people to travel by bike. Poor cycle parking? It can have the opposite effect. Whether you’re designing a workplace, residential development, school, transport hub or public space, it’s easy to focus on the number of bike spaces required and overlook the finer details that make a cycle parking area […]
Two-tier bike rack systems, with or without a shelter, deliver an impressive mix of durability, storage efficiency, security, and long-term value. One of their biggest advantages – their impressive space-saving abilities- is a real boon for locations with growing cycling communities. The extra capacity that two-tier bike racks give can make a major difference. Instead […]
For years, bike parking has suffered the blight of being a bit of an afterthought. A few metal hoops tucked into the corner of a car park, maybe a basic shelter if you were lucky, and that was considered job done. But brighter days are here! As cycling and active travel become a bigger part […]
E-bikes are having a moment, and it’s easy to see why. They make longer commutes feel manageable, flatten hills, and open up cycling to a much wider range of people. This is good news for our cities – more people cycling means healthier communities, lower emissions, and less pressure on car parking. But with the […]
As cycling becomes an even bigger part of everyday life — whether for commuting, leisure, or multi-modal travel — one thing is clear: good bike parking matters. But what is that? Well, we know it’s not just any bike parking. To score high on people’s good bike storage scale, you need to hit all the […]
If you’ve owned a bike, you’ve likely had it stolen or worried it might be. Every cyclist knows security is the top concern when parking. No matter how modern the building or impressive the landscaping, if bike parking feels flimsy or awkward, people won’t trust it. Why? Because it feels insecure. When the confidence in […]
When specifying two-tier bike racks, it’s easy to focus on the visible features — the frame, the finish, the shelter, the capacity. But there’s one small detail that rarely gets asked about — and yet it plays a huge role in how the system performs over time: the bearings inside the upper-tier mechanism. They’re not […]
When it comes to installing cycle parking, the two S words – security and safety- are what come up at the top of worries. And rightly so. Security, we cover here, but let’s talk about safety. Property managers, developers, schools, transport operators and business owners all tend to ask the same questions. Can bikes fall […]
