    The UK Government has published its third statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, backed by over £4.5bn of projected investment across England over the next five years.

    Wood Finish Options For Bike Shelters

    Why Timber Finish Matters When specifying a bike shelter, the structural frame is only half the story. The cladding finish defines how a shelter sits within its environment, whether it blends seamlessly into a landscaped residential development, complements the heritage character of a school campus, or adds a clean aesthetic to a commercial courtyard.

The new scheme on Adams Road is designed to create a safer, more accessible environment for an expected 3,000 cyclists per…

  • Why the UK Still Lags Behind Europe in Cycling Uptake?

    Why the UK Still Lags Behind Europe in Cycling Uptake?

    The UK continues to quietly pedal in last place when it comes to cycling. Whilst participation has grown in certain urban pockets, cycling remains far from the everyday activity as it is across the channel. In cities like Amsterdam, Paris and Copenhagen, infrastructure is continuous, clever and designed not for the confident minority, but for…

    From Spark to Shutdown, What Shop Fires Are Teaching Us About Modern Fire Risks

    What Shop Fires Are Teaching Us About Modern Fire Risks In retail, fire risk rarely announces itself. It does not arrive with sirens or warning signs, it begins quietly. A charger left plugged in, a device placed on a counter, a battery reaching the end of its life cycle. On the surface, nothing out of…

  • The workplace has a bigger role in UK cycling than it realises.

    The workplace has a bigger role in UK cycling than it realises.

    For years, conversations around cycling uptake have focused on infrastructure, government policy, and individual motivation. While these are all important, one influence is often underestimated, the workplace. Where we work, how we work and accessibility quietly shape whether cycling feels realistic, convenient, or even possible. For many people, the decision to cycle isn’t just about…

    Why the UK Can No Longer Afford To Ignore The Cycle Theft Epidemic

Great job done from ordering, advice, delivery and construction. Two man crew worked solidly from 7 am to 1pm, refused all offers of coffee and got the bike shelter built despite high winds and rain. Also dismantled our old bike rack.

Excellent company to deal with, all queries and questions answered promptly. Very happy with the service. Very quick delivery from order, the cycle repair stands were well packed and protected and secured to the pallet for transport. Peter and Joanne were excellent to deal with and hopefully will be dealing with them again to purchase more units.
