Cycle Parking FAQs

There are several options depending on the space and use case.

Cycle stands (like Sheffield stands) are quick and cost-effective to install.

Space-saving and wall-mounted systems are ideal when floor space is tight.



For high-volume sites, double-decker stands and multi-bay cycle racks give better density.

You can also choose shelters and lockers when security or weather protection is required.
To begin, consider the available space and the number of users. If you have limited room, use space-saving or wall-mounted stands.

If the site expects high numbers of cyclists (e.g. transport facility, business park, school) a double-decker or high-density rack will usually be more efficient.

For exposed locations or long dwell times, consider adding shelters or lockers.
Many systems, such as Sheffield stands and surface-mounted racks, require minimal groundworks and can be installed quickly. They require simple bolts as the units are surface mounted.

For certain cycle stands, for example some Sheffield Cycle Stands, you will need to plan in adequate fixing and foundation work, as these are root fixed. But even these are generally straightforward to install and only require shallow excavation.
Installing cycle parking is becoming a standard requirement because local authorities and planning departments are pushing Active Travel and sustainability.

Providing proper cycle parking helps meet planning conditions, supports BREEAM targets and improves the safety and organisation of outdoor spaces.
In many cases, yes. They offer extra security and protect bikes from the weather, which is often a requirement for commercial buildings, public sector projects and high-value residential developments.

Shelters and lockers also improve the look of the site by keeping parked bikes tidy and contained.
Yes. Many modular cycle racks and double-decker systems are designed so additional bays can be added later.

This gives flexibility and avoids the need to remove and replace the entire system if usage increases.

For sub-contractors working on new build or refurbishment projects, installing cycle parking equipment is a core requirement. With local authorities now placing greater emphasis on Active Travel and sustainability, the provision of dedicated cycle parking facilities is often a condition of planning approval.

Well designed and planned cycle parking not only helps to keep user’s bikes secure, it also helps to reduce congestion and clutter around site entrances. Giving an overall more professional appeal for a commercial premises or public transport facility.

Street Furniture Direct is pleased to offer an extensive range of cycle parking options to meet your exact project requirements, including cycle stands, space saving cycle parking, double decker bike stands, wall mounted cycle stands, scooter parking and motorcycle parking options.

Benefits of installing cycle parking

Well-placed cycle parking facilities brings many benefits for outdoor environments and construction projects.

It gives employees, visitors and members of the public a safe and convenient place to store their bikes; which will encourage more people to use them. This directly supports Active Travel targets and helps clients demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction.

From a practical perspective, well designed cycle parking helps reduce clutter and loose bikes and scooters around entrances or walkways, improving safety and accessibility across a site.

It also protects bikes from theft and vandalism, reducing the risk of complaints or damage claims.

Cycle stands are one of the most common and cost-effective forms of cycle parking. Sheffield stands, for example, are quick to install and provide strong, secure storage with minimal groundworks, making them an easy option for most commercial, residential and educational projects.

Where space is limited, space saving cycle parking offers a practical alternative. These systems allow multiple bikes to be stored in a tight footprint without compromising accessibility, making them ideal for apartment developments, schools or small commercial sites.

For high-density requirements, double decker cycle stands allow you to store twice the number of bikes in the same area by stacking parking on two levels. These are well suited to transport facilities, business parks and large residential developments.

Motorcycle parking incorporates heavy-duty stands and rails, specifically designed to secure motorbikes in public or private spaces.

Things to consider when specifying cycle parking

When specifying cycle parking, the first factor sub-contractors should consider is the amount of available space and the expected level of demand. A small residential development may only need a handful of stands, whereas a transport facility or commercial development may require high-density or double-decker systems to accommodate large volumes of users.

Security is another important consideration. In areas where bikes are left for long periods of time, or where higher-value bikes are common, specifying shelters, lockers or enclosed storage options can significantly reduce the risk of theft or vandalism.

Sub-contractors should also consider ease of installation, particularly on projects with tight programmes or limited access. Products that require minimal groundworks or can be surface mounted often help to reduce installation time and cost.

Lastly, compliance with local authority requirements, planning guidelines and national Active Travel standards is essential. Using a supplier that can provide technical data, drawings and regulation guidance makes this process much easier and avoids costly redesigns further down the line.

Why buy cycle parking from Street Furniture Direct?

Quality and durability you can trust

Our cycle parking products are constructed from the highest-quality materials, such as steel and stainless steel. This ensures the stands and racks are incredibly strong and robust, meaning bike users can feel confident their bikes can be left safely.

Stainless steel and steel have a high strength-to-weight ratio meaning even the smallest of cycle parking options e.g. Sheffield Cycle Stand, offers excellent durability for your project.

You even have the option for a galvanised or powder coated finish which adds a further level of resistance against the elements. The galvanised process adds a protective layer of zinc which offers exceptional corrosion protection, preventing moisture and other elements from coming into contact with the steel.

Cost-effective

We understand cost is a significant driver for product selection within construction projects. It is not uncommon for sub-contractors to be asked to trim costings or source a more cost efficient product compared with the original specification.

But this doesn't have to mean you settle for sub-standard products.

When you buy your cycle parking products from Street Furniture Direct, you can be assured you are buying the highest quality products but at cost-effective prices.

We even offer a price match guarantee where if you find a product of the same specification cheaper online, we will match it!

Aesthetically versatile

Our range of cycle parking options are designed in a way to enhance any local environment. Whether you are installing a double decker bike stand at a school or a range of Sheffield stands at an office development, our cycle parking products are simple and elegant in design.

Not only that but their stainless steel or steel constructions can be purchased in a galvanised or RAL colour finish (depending on product), meaning you can source bespoke cycle parking stands to suit and enhance your project surroundings.
