Solo Vertical Bike Racks

The Solo Vertical Bike Racks were chosen for their efficiency and adaptability, perfectly aligning with Prince of Wales Drive’s modern and space-conscious design. These racks are engineered to provide high-density storage without compromising user convenience or security.

  • Constructed from galvanised steel, offering robust protection against the elements.
  • Designed and manufactured in Britain, reflecting the development’s commitment to supporting local craftsmanship.


These racks were installed in the bike storage area, with staggered heights to maximise space utilisation. The welded baseplate ensures stability, making it an ideal solution for the high-volume storage needs of Prince of Wales Drive.


Two-Tier Bike Racks

Two Tier Bike Racks were installed to optimise space further, offering a user-friendly and space-saving solution. These racks allow cyclists to securely lock both the frame and wheels of their bikes, providing maximum security in a high-density storage environment.

These stands are ideal for quick and easy access for residents who need a convenient place to lock up their bikes. These racks contribute to the efficient use of space while ensuring that the bike storage area remains easy to navigate, even during peak usage. The Sheffield Cycle Stands also help the development gain cycle storage credits under the Code for Sustainable Homes, reinforcing its commitment to meet sustainability.
