Bike Shelters & Parking for Schools
In modern learning environments, bike shelters and parking facilities represent a valuable resource for schools and other sectors. We believe that pupils and staff should feel confident in the knowledge that their prized possession is safely stored throughout the day and sheltered from the elements. Providing a convenient, designated area for secure storage also limits the obstruction that can be caused by bikes stored in an unorganised manner.
The provision of dry, secure facilities for storing bicycles can be considered an essential component for encouraging the use of more sustainable forms of transportation, contributing to reduced carbon emissions whilst promoting health and well-being for pupils and staff alike. As sustainability practices continue to improve and diversify, the need for reliable bicycle shelters and parking products has never been more apparent.
In addition, reputable charity organisations such as Sustrans, along with the beneficial Cyclescheme, are encouraging more pupils and staff to adopt cycling as their preferred method of transport for commuting.
Our cycle shelter and parking facilities encompass designs that are accessible and familiar to cyclists, with functional and proven capabilities across the range. Utilising hard-wearing materials that ensure long-term durability aids school environments where, no matter the number of pupils, consistent use needs to be sustained.
Our range of bike shelter products are structures that demonstrate a more open-planned design approach, meaning they are customarily housed within a secure site or an enclosed area of space. This makes them ideally suited to environments such as schools and sports facility sites, which routinely operate in the daytime, where user line of sight can be more easily maintained.
