Secure Cycle Shelter Installation with 22 Bike Spaces

This project involved the supply and installation of a secure 22-space bespoke cycle compound designed for high-density bike storage in a compact footprint. The completed installation combined Secure Bike Bunker Lockers, Semi-Vertical Bike Racks, Solar Lighting, Personnel Lockers, Mesh Fencing Security, Self Closing Swing Gates Equipped with a Digital Combination Lock and a Public Bike Repair Stand to create a modern, low-maintenance cycling facility suitable for residential developments, apartment blocks, commercial sites, schools and public sector environments.

The cycle shelter measured 4600mm x 4100mm and featured a fully mesh-clad steel fencing for increased visibility and security. A mesh access gate was fitted with a self-closing system and double-sided combination latch lock, helping to provide controlled access while maintaining ease of use for cyclists.

To maximise cycle parking capacity, the compound was fitted with Semi-Vertical Cycle Racks and 2 Double Sided Bike Bunker Lockers, totalling a 22-space bike capacity. The semi-vertical bike rack design allows bikes to be stored efficiently while reducing the overall footprint required for cycle parking. Each rack incorporated a secure three-point locking system, allowing cyclists to secure frames and wheels safely.

The installation also included integrated solar-powered LED lighting, delivering a powerful 1400-lumen light output for improved visibility and security during evening and low-light conditions. The intelligent motion-activated lighting system uses a high-performance 12v solar panel capable of supporting up to 500 activations per night, eliminating the need for mains electrical connections while reducing ongoing energy costs.

To support cyclist convenience and further support Active Travel UK initiatives, 8 Personnel Lockers and a Public Bike Repair Stand With Integrated Pump where installed inside the shelter. The repair stand provides users with easy access to essential tools for quick adjustments and repairs, making it ideal for public spaces, residential developments, cycle hubs, schools, and workplace environments.

This secure cycle shelter installation showcases the benefits of combining space-saving bike storage, durable galvanised steel construction, secure access systems, solar lighting, and public cycle maintenance facilities into one cohesive cycling infrastructure solution. The result is a secure, attractive, and highly functional cycle parking facility built for long-term everyday use.
