Description

Our Cycle Hubs are the cutting edge in high volume bike storage facilities. We provide a range of technology and equipment that can be used to create maximum security, access control, data recording and cyclist friendly amenities. Every hub has to be carefully designed to fit bespoke requirements and needs, so there is no such thing as a generic cycle hub. This is why we have created the ability to customise your hub by designing the individual components, so you can pick and choose exactly what goes into your hub!

Secure – Secure access control entry/exit technology

Bespoke – Cladding, design & colours for all environments

Fully Equipped – Lockers, lighting, repair stands and pumps are all part of the range of add ons

Sustainable – Many of our Hub designs are modular, not only will they last but they can easily be extended in line with growth in cycling.

Roof Style – Several roof styles are available to customise your cycle hub, from no roof (ideal for Cycle Hubs built under a pre-existing structure) to gabled or arched. Pitch height can also be determined to fit your requirements.
Roof Covering – As well as styles of roof, you can select your roof covering. PET G, chambered polycarbonate and metal roofing options are available as well as specialist green roofs.
Cladding Style – We provide cladding options to suit all environments. For conservation areas, a wood, composite or glass cladding is usually preferred. For public areas, perforated steel, glass or Kalzip are ideal as they allow for passive surveillance.
We can provide low-voltage electricity systems for your Cycle Hub to keep them as cost-effective, low-maintenance and sustainable as possible.
Access Control – If you are choosing to have a Cycle Hub with doors, there are several types of locks available – from basic padlocks to full access control systems which work with many options such as key fobs, coded locks or key cards. Our access technology systems are highly secure entry and exit controls which are easily adapted to suit any environment and location and can be easily retro-fitted to existing Hubs or linked to an existing ITSO-style travelcards such as The Key.
E-Bole Charging Units – The trend in electric bike usage in increasing rapidly, so equipping your Cycle Hub with special points for electric bike parking is something to be considered.
CCTV – CCTV is an important security tool for any cycle parking facility. Having and advertising the presence of CCTV is also a great anti-theft deterrent.
Lighting – LED lighting systems ensure all areas of Cycle Hubs are well lit and inviting. These lights can be run off low-voltage electricity and triggered with PIR motion sensors to stay lit as long as movement within the hub is detected. This makes them energy-saving, long lasting and very low maintenance.
Bike Detection – Bike Detection systems are a new concept to reach the UK but are already extremely popular in Cycle Hubs throughout Europe. Bike detection sensors can be installed into each space and linked to an LED screen at the hub entrance showing how many spaces are available. You can even go a step further and introduce an LED ‘path’ to guide users to the available spaces, saving them from having to search all over the hub for a space!
Lockers – Cyclists can need a lot of kit such as helmets, saddle bags, bike lights, extra clothes in case of weather changes, repair and maintenance kits etc. which they need to remove from their bike once it is stored in case of theft. Particularly if they are commuting, having to carry all these things with them all day as well as a change of clothes, laptops, handbags etc. isn’t ideal. Kit lockers are an easy solution to this, they can keep their bike kits in the Hub safely all day whilst they continue their journey.
Lock Stands – Secure bike locks are heavy and cumbersome for cyclists to transport every day, especially difficult for commuters who already need to carry a lot on their journeys. Lock stands are for users to keep their locks in the cycle facility after they have retrieved their bike so they don’t need to transport it back and forth. Dedicated lock stands prevent the bike storage stands from being cluttered or ‘reserved’ with locks.
Cycle Repair and Maintenance – Cycle Repair Stands and Pumps keep your cyclists on the go by providing easy-to-use tools for basic bike repairs. The Cyclepods XL Pump is our most robust public pump, designed for heavy duty use day in, day out. The pump fits both Schrader and Presta valves which means all cyclists are accommodated for. The Fix It Repair Stand is designed for public use and includes tools to perform basic repairs from changing a flat tyre to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. The tools are securely attached to the stand with stainless steel cables and tamperproof fasteners. Hanging the bike from the arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely whilst making adjustments.
