Why Purchase a Cycle Shelter: 

Bike Shelter for Work
Bicycle usage has steadily increased in adults since 2002 with the assistance of the cycle to work scheme. The government outlined their cycling investment strategy in 2016, aiming to double the number of trips made via bicycle by 2025, not having a cycle shelter could be the only reason your employees and visitors aren’t cycling to your business!
Saving Space! A single standard car parking space is the same size as a 10 capacity cycle shelter, combined with the knowledge that 47% of all adults currently own a bicycle; businesses can vastly improve parking capacity.

Bike Shelter for Schools
Over 3.8 million children aged 0 - 16 cycle to school on a regular basis. Whilst children aged 0 – 5 used their bikes twice as often in 2022 compared to 2021, rising from 378,000 to 750,000, these numbers show a clear desire for children of all ages to use their bikes when the facilities are there to enable it.
• 3.8 Million Children aged 0-16 Cycle to school on a regular basis
• Cycle usage in 2021 has doubled for primary school aged children, from 378,000 in 2020 to 756,000 in 2021

In addition to the above, there are several compelling reasons to buy a cycle shelter for schools:

1. Encouraging Sustainable Transportation: Cycle shelters promote eco-friendly transportation by encouraging students and staff to cycle to school. This reduces the environmental impact of vehicles and helps in the fight against climate change.
   
   
2. Health Benefits: Cycling is an excellent form of physical exercise that can improve the health and well-being of students. It helps them stay active, reduce the risk of obesity, and enhance cardiovascular fitness.
   
   
3. Reduced Traffic Congestion: More students cycling to school means fewer cars on the road during drop-off and pick-up times, reducing traffic congestion and making the area around the school safer.
   
   
4. Cost Savings: Schools can save money on transportation costs, as cycling is much cheaper than providing bus services or maintaining a large car park.
   
   
5. Improved Safety: Providing a dedicated cycle shelter can help keep bicycles secure and protected from the weather, reducing the risk of theft and damage.
   
   
6. Teaching Responsibility: Cyclists learn valuable lessons in responsibility and maintenance by caring for their bicycles. This fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility in students.
   
   
7. Promoting Independence: Cycling allows students to gain independence and mobility, as they can travel to and from school without relying on their parents or school bus services.
   
   
8. Educational Opportunities: Schools can use cycle shelters as a platform to educate students about road safety, bike maintenance, and the importance of sustainable transportation.
   
   
9. Community Engagement: Cycle shelters can serve as a focal point for promoting community involvement and cycling events, further connecting the school to the local community.
   
   
10. Compliance with Regulations: Some local regulations or school policies may require institutions to provide bicycle storage facilities to encourage sustainable travel.
    
    
11. Positive Image: Schools that support cycling and other sustainable transportation options are seen as progressive and environmentally conscious, which can improve their image in the community.
    
    
12. Long-Term Benefits: Encouraging cycling at an early age can lead to a lifelong habit of using environmentally friendly transportation methods.

In summary, cycle shelters for schools not only support sustainability and environmental goals but also offer numerous benefits for students, families, and the broader community in terms of health, safety, and cost savings.
