When it comes to purchasing cycle racks it can be slightly confusing, there are so many different styles and sizes, and this can put you off a little. The styles of the cycle racks are mainly for aesthetics rather than use – they are designed to help you find a style or shape that would fit in with your surroundings and setting. The style of the rack also affects the size, so if you have limited space it is a good idea to go for a rack such as the Sheffield Cycle Rack. This is our most popular cycle rack this is because it has a very simple design that works well with most settings and is great for bikes of most sizes, we also supply the Junior Sheffield Cycle Rack – this is much more popular with primary schools as it is much more suited the smaller bikes and is more compact.
Choosing the right style for you is not that hard, you just have to look for the style that would fit in with your surroundings. If you would like a cycle rack to simply “do as it says on the tin” then maybe a Sheffield Cycle Rack would be for you. Or if you would like a cycle rack that would stand out and look fun then why not try something like the Wiggly Cycle Rack or the Flower Cycle Rack to add some design and colour into your playground or cycle storage area.
Once you have chosen your design and size the next step is to choose what finish you would like. All of our cycle racks are available galvanised, powder coated or both powder coated and galvanised. Choosing to have your cycle rack galvanised is a sensible decision as this protects your cycle rack from corrosion, prolonging the life of your cycle rack avoiding rust and rot.
Deciding to have your cycle rack powder coated is not a necessity; this is mainly for those that would like their rack to fit in with their surrounds. Our cycle racks are constructed from steel and are supplied in their natural colour. Choosing to have your cycle rack powder coated would add to the aesthetics of your cycle storage especially if your racks are situated within a cycle shelter or adjacent to an existing building. Choosing to have the racks powder coated to the same colour as your shelter would ensure your cycle rack coordinates with your existing colour scheme and looks fresh.
Our cycle racks are available bolted or ragged. This means that we can supply you with the racks with fixings so that they can be bolted to a suitable concrete base. Or if you do not currently have a suitable concrete base or would like the racks set in concrete, we can supply them as ragged which means they have no fixings on and can be set into concrete.
Installation – Cycle racks are generally not that difficult to fit if you have a good caretaker, however, if you would like a professional finish, our fitters are able to install the cycle racks for you at an additional cost. Please contact us for more details or call 0800 389 9072.
