The Best Bike Storage Racks for Your Premises

By integrating bike storage racks into your facilities and premises, your employees and customers can all benefit in various ways. For your employees, they'll feel more encouraged to cycle to work rather than use a car or other means of transport – having a positive impact on both their health and the environment. You will grow your employees’ loyalty by providing care for their well-being and sustainable commuting options, and bike racks are just one simple and effective way to demonstrate this commitment.

These small investments in bike storage can also benefit a customer-facing business. Businesses such as cafes and retail stores can install bike racks and provide convenient and secure parking for their customers’ bicycles. This can help encourage customers to visit more regularly – leading to a busier, more eco-friendly business!

Benefit from a physically and mentally healthier workforce when you incentivise staff to cycle to work. Cycling has been linked to improved mental health and cognitive abilities, which can boost productivity at work. By promoting cycling to work, a company can also reduce its carbon footprint and enhance its reputation amongst the eco-conscious. Invest in your employees today and help them to become physically and mentally healthier, so they can feel at their best to grow your business.

Compared to a car park and all the costs involved, implementing bike racks on your premises is very cheap in comparison. Commuting via bicycle is much more affordable than spending money on fuel and can help your employees save money on fuel and parking tickets. Offering facilities like wall-mounted bike racks can help save space and increase bike storage capacity.

The City Luna bicycle racks are the perfect option for domestic and commercial use. From schools, businesses, and parks, these bike racks are made from fully-welded, hot-dipped galvanised steel. Suitable for all weather conditions and available in various widths to accommodate two or three bicycles, these racks feature low and high wheel guides.

Barratt bike rack shelters are great for larger areas where cycling is common – with the ability to safely store up to 10-20 bicycles. Manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel, these shelters are available in galvanised or polyester-powder coated finishes in black, blue, green, or red. Surface-mounted and easy to install (contact us at BiGDUG for assistance), the shelter comes with options of five or ten standard Sheffield cycle stands. These big-selling cycle shelters are compatible with both traditional and modern environments and enable you to increase your bike storage capacity by large amounts at a time!

These bike storage racks can be bolted to a hard-standing surface while featuring the classic design of Sheffield Cycle Stands. A simple yet very practical bike storage solution. Made from hot-dipped galvanised steel that ensures they are both durable and sturdy enough for long-term continuous use. If you require a simple, low-maintenance and affordable solution that allows the users to secure both the frame and the wheel to a stand, these racks could be ideal for your needs, storing between 6 and 10 bikes at a time.

Most commercial sites plan for bike parking based on expected daily users rather than total population. A common guideline is to provide spaces for 10–20% of occupants, with higher numbers for schools, offices, and residential complexes where cycling is more common. It’s smart to build in extra capacity so the system doesn’t feel crowded as usage grows.

Sheffield‑style stands are widely considered the most secure because they allow the frame and both wheels to be locked with a U‑lock. Two‑tier racks are great for high‑density sites and still offer strong locking points. Avoid wheel‑bender racks, as they provide poor support and make bikes more vulnerable to damage.

Galvanised steel is the most common choice because it’s affordable and highly resistant to rust. Stainless steel offers a premium look and exceptional durability, especially in coastal or high‑moisture environments. Powder‑coated finishes add colour and extra protection, but the underlying metal quality matters most for long‑term performance.

Many councils and planning authorities specify minimum spacing, accessibility standards, and security requirements for commercial bike parking. Reputable manufacturers design their racks to meet these guidelines, but it’s still worth checking your local rules before purchasing. Ensuring compliance upfront helps avoid costly changes during installation.
