Cycling is currently enjoying a renewed surge in popularity in the UK and with added investment being funnelled into developing cycling infrastructure, the number of cyclists is set to grow. Our homes and offices must be able to cope with this change of lifestyle and adding cycle storage facilities is now vital for any new build.

Creating an effective and user friendly cycle storage area is easy to do, and it can help to meet your sustainability targets as well. Both BREEAM and The Code of Sustainable Homes allocate up to two credits if adequate cycle parking provisions are in place.

Cycle Stands

Cycle Stands are at the heart of every cycle parking area and are ideal for all locations. Fully scalable, the number of stands that can be installed is only limited by the size of your site. The Sheffield Cycle Stand is favoured by cyclists, and regulators, as both the wheel and the frame can be locked to the stand for added security.

AUTOPA has been manufacturing cycle stands since the 1950s and has a wide variety of stands and holders to suit every site and budget. Working on a prestigious development? Our Illuminated Sheffield Cycle Stand features a low voltage LED and will enhance any environment it is installed in.

Cycle Racks

Cycle Racks are ideal for creating a high density cycle parking area in a relatively small space. The majority of our cycle racks utilise alternating height cycle holders to reduce the space required between the stands, thereby increasing the number of bicycles that can be stored in a given area.

Cycle Shelters

In order to comply with BREEAM regulations, a cycle shelter or a compound is an essential requirement. Cycle Shelters are designed to protect the bicycles beneath them from the elements, and are available with end panels, gates and a variety of roofing materials as required. AUTOPA manufacture, supply and install a wide variety of cycle shelters to suit every architectural style and budget. All of our shelters are galvanised as standard to ensure that they can withstand the knocks and bumps that will inevitably occur with intensive use.

Cycle Compounds

VELOPA Cycle Compounds are designed for sites where added security over a standard cycle shelter is desirable. Completely enclosed, a cycle compound offers an additional layer of security compared to traditional free standing shelters and the lockable mesh gate is compatible with a variety of locking methods ranging from padlocks to swipe cards.

Which cycle solution is right for your school?

Cycle storage is essential for every school. With a myriad of options available, which one is right for your site? To help you decide, here is a breakdown of the main types of cycle storage and their individual benefits.

The Sheffield Cycle stand is a common sight around the UK and offers a scalable and flexible cycle parking solution. Providing the cycle stands are installed correctly (minimum 800mm apart) each stand will provide secure storage for two bicycles. This style is preferred by cyclists as its simple design allows both the bicycle frame and wheel to be locked to the stand.

Cycle racks are better suited for the smaller, or tighter, site. Cycle racks, such as the AUTOPA Type B, offer a higher density of cycle parking than single level cycle parking solutions. The Type B cycle rack alternates high and low cycle holders, reducing the space between the bicycles to 305mm.

Cycle holders are ideal for smaller sites as they affix to the wall of an existing building without the need for additional space. Cyclists push their bicycle into the holder, and they are secured through the front wheel with the owner’s own lock

In order to satisfy BREEAM regulations, any cycle storage provided must be protected from the elements. This is easily achieved through the installation of a cycle shelter or compound; which are designed to protect bicycles from the worst of the weather. AUTOPA offers BREEAM compliant cycle shelters and compounds in a variety of different designs to match your site’s environment.

AUTOPA Limited has been manufacturing cycle storage and parking control products for over 60 years. The majority of our products are manufactured at our works in Rugby. We provide our customers with a comprehensive end-to-end service; from manufacture through to installation. To find out more, please visit our website www.autopa.co.uk.

Cycling continues to be the fastest way of moving around our biggest cities making cycle stands an essential part of any urban construction project.
Whatever the location, any cycle stands installed in a busy public area must be able to withstand the rigours of daily use without needing constant maintenance. The VELOPA Transport Cycle Stand range was designed with city life in mind and meets these requirements perfectly. Manufactured from mild steel and galvanised as standard to ensure their longevity, each of the stands within the range has been created to fully comply with the cycle parking recommendations in force in their namesake cities.

London

There are two preferred cycle stands in use on the London transport network; the London Cycle Stand and the ‘M’ Cycle Stand. Both are designed to offer cyclists the maximum security possible when leaving their bicycles unattended. Whilst the London Cycle Stand uses a wider diameter steel tube to boost its defensive properties, the M stand’s design gives cyclists variable locking heights to provide a higher level of security than traditional cycle stands.

Be aware! Certain areas of London require all their street furniture items to be coated black. All of our cycle stands can be coated in any RAL or BS colour; please specify the colour at time of ordering. AUTOPA’s standard black is RAL 9005.

Manchester

The Manchester Cycle Stand is the widest cycle stand of the range; at 1000mm, it provides secure cycle storage for all styles of bicycle. This stand is supplied with contrasting reflective banding as standard to ensure that is can see by all pedestrians in all weather conditions. Additional signage plates and tapping rails can be added if required.

Birmingham

The Birmingham Cycle Stand features an integrated tapping rail and signage plate making it fully compliant with all DDA regulations and the recommendations in place on the Birmingham transport network. The signage plate can also be used by cyclists as an additional locking point for their bicycles.

Transport Cycle Stand

The final stand within the range is the Transport Cycle Stand. This stand is designed to meet the recommendations set by the majority of UK councils and is perfect for use in high footfall areas. The integrated low-level signage plate doubles as a functional tapping rail making the stand easily identifiable for visually impaired pedestrians.

The VELOPA brand has been synonymous with the manufacture of high-quality cycle storage products for over 60 years, so whatever project you are working on, we will be able to help.
