Finding the right cycle parking for you - Cycle parking at home

Given the continuing surge in cycle sales and cyclists on the roads plus government investment in cycle friendly infrastructure - We have compiled a guide for appropriate cycle parking options for businesses and individuals to meet this new demand.

Just over 50% of UK households have a garage with only 24% using that space to store vehicles - most garages are now used to store DIY tools, decorating kit, gardening equipment, gym apparatus and bikes & scooters. To increase the space in garages wall mounted cycle racks are easy to install and require little or no maintenance. With bicycles elevated from the ground and stored vertically it is possible to gain up to 50% more floor space.
For the rest of the uk who do not have access to a garage, cycle lockers offer a discreet and  secure design that can store multiple bikes and come in a range of colour options and materials , from powder coated steel to timber.

Where space and budget is even tighter we recommend the classic the Sheffield Cycle Stand, a low cost but highly secure option that offers multiple locking points for 2 bikes. The sheffield cycle stand is available as root fixed or surface mounted in stainless, galvanised or powder coated steel.

For those living in or developing large multi story residential properties, making use of space is key in order to meet the needs of all the residents - Using space saving cycle storage including Semi Vertical and Double Decker cycle stands can double the available parking space for bicycles.
