Bike Storage Design Trends for Modern Workspaces

Bike Storage Design Trends for Modern Workspaces

Bike storage goes beyond functionality and security. These days, the market offers innovative designs and sleek finishes to suit modern office developments. Say goodbye to bulky structures and bland styles. Here are the current bike storage design trends, so your employees can benefit from cutting-edge cycle facilities to boost their work-life satisfaction.

Wall-Mounted Bike Racks

Wall-mounted bike racks are huge right now, and for good reason. They can be fitted directly onto the wall, maximising space while adding to the contemporary look and feel of your development. Vertical wall-mounted racks are popular in modern workplaces due to their aesthetically pleasing design, space-saving capabilities, and great usability. Plus, they're timeless.

Our Premium Vertical Bike Rack is a hard-wearing choice for developments that are limited on space, and it's available in a wide range of RAL colours.

Modular designs

Modular bike storage offers scalability and flexibility, so it's no surprise it's one of our most popular bike storage designs. The modularity means it can be extended over time, catering to the UK's growing cycling demand. Our Semi Vertical Cycle Rack is clean, sleek, and extendable, so you can keep increasing capacity as your workplace grows. We even have a version that's compatible with e-bikes, so employees can store and charge their bikes at the same time.

Our Two-Tier Bike Rack is another popular modular design. Stackable designs work well in high-density urban areas because you can fit double the number of bikes into the same footprint.

Smart Security

One of the more cutting-edge developments in bike storage design is smart locking systems. Instead of relying on traditional padlocks and keys, many workplaces are opting for state-of-the-art FOB key access or mechanical digital locks. Our Premium Security Enclosure even comes with customisable anti-climb security mesh, so your employees feel supported and protected when storing their bikes at work.

These high-security features reduce the risk of theft and vandalism, keeping high-value items safe and sound. We offer a wide range of high-quality locking options, so get in touch to find out more.

Ways to Weatherproof

Now you know about space-saving bike storage design trends. Let's move on to something outside of our control: the weather. You can protect bikes from the elements by weatherproofing your bike storage with an enclosed outdoor shelter, or water-resistant lighting to increase visibility.

More recently, we're seeing many architects choosing to add a sedum roof to bike shelters. A sedum roof will help keep bikes dry while also offering extra benefits. This clever roofing system absorbs rainfall and reduces surface runoff, putting less pressure on drainage systems. It also boosts biodiversity by attracting wildlife and insects, and naturally cleans the air. Not to mention, sedum roofs add a touch of greenery to the workplace.

Our Premium Amazon Cycle Shelter is made from FSC-certified timber with a robust steel frame for corrosion resistance, with the option to add a sedum roof.

Modern workplaces are preparing for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. If you're looking to futureproof your workplace, consider sustainable options to lower your environmental impact. All of our bike storage is BREEAM accredited, which means it meets global benchmarks for best practices in sustainable design, construction, and operation. We are proud that all of our products, including end-of-trip cycle facilities, are Made in Britain, and our timber is FSC-certified.

Our range of smoking shelters offers a robust, modular, and weather-resistant solution for creating a designated smoking area on your site. We also offer Amazon Eco Bin Stores to ensure the look and feel of your storage is consistent across your site.

Now you know all about the bike storage design trends. Get ready to elevate modern workspaces with cutting-edge bike racks and bike shelters, and encourage employees to get on two wheels. High-quality bike facilities build happier workplaces.
