The humble bicycle has become a conscious choice for many people in the UK as car costs spiral out of control and awareness of climate issues changes peoples’ behaviours. Whether an individual chooses cycling as the primary form of transport or enjoys cycling as a weekend sport with one of the UK’s many cycling clubs across the UK, safe and secure cycle storage solutions are a daily concern.
Commercial Bike Storage in the Workplace
It makes sense that bikes require significantly less space for parking than cars. At the same time, many organisations are signing up for the government-approved Bike2Work Scheme, a free employee benefit that aims to get more and more people cycling to work to improve both their health and the environment.
As a result, the demand for floor-mounted bike racks for workplace employees to safely and securely park their bikes while they are in the office is growing. Organisations are finding themselves increasingly obliged to provide commercial bike storage racks close to their offices and factories.
Commercial Bike Storage for Events
Road cycling has exploded in popularity over the last 20 years, and there are now 2200 registered cycling clubs and 125,000 registered members organising 4000 cycling events every year, attracting 300,000 participants.
The controlled organisation of these bikes is vital for the health and safety of such events, and the organisers are obliged to ensure that their cycle storage solutions offer both safety and security, as well as versatility in being transported to different locations. Often, these solutions are transported in a convenient bike rack storage box for ease of immediate access between events.
Commercial Bike Storage Racks in Public Places
The demand for increased bike storage in public places is dramatically changing the urban landscape in towns and cities throughout the UK. Councils are investing in permanent commercial bike rack installations in spaces around shops and shopping centres, sports centres, parks, recreational spaces, trains, and bus stations.
Bison Products offers a full consultancy advising on what would be the best commercial bike storage rack would suit specific needs, taking into account whether it should be free-standing and easily transportable, or concreted in for additional security.
All Bison Product commercial bike racks are zinc-coated and galvanised for protection against the elements for outside storage. As a result, not only are bikes protected, but the storage solutions themselves are, too.
