Freshers’ Week Is Bike Theft Season: What Universities Need to Get Right Before Term Starts

We Don’t Make Children Wear Hi-Vis to Walk to the Shops

Why the safety gear we strap onto cyclists is a symptom of bad design, not good sense. Picture a ten-year-old heading to the corner shop on foot. Nobody hands her a helmet. Nobody zips her into a fluorescent tabard or clips a flashing light to her coat. She just goes. Now picture the same ten-year-old…

Making Cycling Easier for All

Making Cycling Easier for All With Public Bicycle Repair Stands When asked, why do you not use a bicycle on a regular basis? One of the most frequent responses can be the cost burden and hassle of maintaining it.

Does Where You Store Your Bike Actually Affect Your Insurance? You’ve invested in a quality bike, you’ve got a Sold Secure Gold lock, you’re even covered by a specialist bike insurance policy.

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.

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.

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…
