Un shelter for bikes is a room where cyclists can store their bikes. This type of shelter is particularly important since it makes it possible to shelter and protect bicycles, in particular from bad weather, but also from theft.
What are the different types ofbicycle shelters ? There are several types of sheds, small bike sheds to store one or two bikes, others that can hold three or four bikes and still others that can hold a whole fleet of bikes. There are also much larger bicycle sheds, which can store a large number of bicycles, up to several hundred. Bike sheds are made in many shapes and sizes, and they can be wood, brick, stone, concrete, steel, or plastic. Their storage system is also multiple, for example, you can find open bicycle shelters and closed bicycle shelters or semi-closed, whether for collective or private use.
How much does a secure bike shed cost?
When designing and building a shelter, the most important elements are the construction site and the shelter itself. The quality of the shelter depends on its dimensions, materials and workmanship. The general price of a shelter for bicycles, built in wire mesh, can vary according to its storage capacity and its dimensions but it will take several thousand euros, from 2500 euros to ten thousand euros.
To determine your choice, consider your personal characteristics and the characteristics of the outdoor space. If you want to sit down, opt for a pen that has raised seating surfaces to allow you to rest. When you choose a shelter with a seat, you also need to think about the orientation of the seats. Should they be parallel to the wind direction, perpendicular to the wind or even in the middle of theshelter ? Additionally, you should also consider the type of bike. You might want to be able remove your bike, or you may prefer to use it in the shelter for long trips. The type of shelter you choose will therefore depend on your personal preferences and weather conditions.
How do users access the secure bike shelter?
In recent years, as a result of several societal, economic and ecological factors, many companies have invested in setting upshelters for bicycles for their employees. Some companies provide access tobicycle shelter to encourage access to cycling, especially in large cities where parking is often a problem. In this sense, the provision of shelters for bicycles will contribute to encouraging the use of bicycles. Furthermore, the use ofbicycle shelters can be another solution for companies that want to encourage access to cycling, but do not have enough open space.
Responsibility for setting upbicycle shelters responsibility of the person responsible for installing it and allocating the space on the company premises. This person will consult with management, the local maintenance department, the traffic department and the human resources department before starting. He must also inform the service departments (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) of the installation of the systems. The manager must check whether there is a specific agreement between thebicycle shelter and companies and whether the company has an existing agreement with the municipality. The manager will also verify that thebicycle shelter will not be used by a third party and that there is no risk to company vehicles or property.
How to support the mobility of the inhabitants?
To support the mobility of the inhabitants of a community, it's easy: all you have to do is initiate a project in your local community, for example, to develop cycle paths, build shelters, create routes for cyclists, and you will find other people to help you. The mobility of the inhabitants and theuse of the bicycle will develop thanks to the energy of a group that has become the nucleus of a new community that will be useful to you.
The shelters for bicycles can be installed anywhere, but it is more common to see them near public transport or pedestrian areas. We advise you to install them in large car parks and areas where many cyclists go. Indeed, one can find shelters for bicycles close to shops, shopping centers and schools, and also in car parks or train stations. In short, the location of these shelters must be accessible.
In addition, some bicycle shelters can be installed in a short time and can be moved if necessary.
Design a custom bike shelter
The choice ofbicycle shelter is a real investment. It is essential to choose the type of shelter that best suits your needs. For your needs, you must take into account the following criteria: the sunshine and the location, the security, the number of bikes you want to park… You will also have to take into account the type of weather, your preferences, your budget and the look you want to give to thebicycle shelter.
THEattachable bike shelter is a back-to-back shelter, created in the 1950s by architect and engineer Richard Neutra, in response to the problems cyclists faced when queuing to park their bikes in California. The design is to house two bicycles side by side.
Integrate a bicycle shelter in the urban landscape
For cyclists and pedestrians, the urban landscape is the setting in which the shelter will be located. This framework includes both the environment and the architecture, and can be divided into three areas: the street, the sidewalks and the public space. As an integral part of the urban landscape, bicycle shelters should be integrated into these three areas.
The location and design materials of the shelter must be taken into account, as they will have a direct impact on the urban landscape. For example, the VelPark in wood is a functional and elegant shelter that blends in very well with the landscape with its wooden cladding. In addition, you can choose the color of the latter according to the landscape that will surround it.
Since its invention, the bicycle has not ceased to develop. the bike is by far the best-selling means of transport in France.
