The Re-Flex cycle lane post helps to prevent collisions with posts and bollards placed on cycle lanes. They have LED lighting and high-reflectivity strips and are exactly the right height and width. The colour ensures that they stand out and cannot be missed. All this means that cyclists are much less likely to collide with them. However, if a cyclist does collide with the Re-Flex post, it is not rigid and has some built-in ‘give’; the flexible material will also bend, helping to prevent injuries. However, although the Re-Flex is flexible – it has a steel core that makes sure that cars are kept well away!

Thanks again for your help."

“Minipods offer a method of cycle storage that is extremely welcomed by our schools, many of which would not have had the space for the traditional sized storage we had been offering until now. This allows many more pupils the chance to cycle to school and to reap the benefits that this mode of transport has to offer. We can already see a shift towards cycling in the schools that have had the pods installed so far, and we hope that this will continue as more pupils take up the opportunity that improved cycle storage has to offer”
