Portable Wave Bike RacksCommercial outdoor steel public bicycle parking racks are devices that are used to secure bicycles against theft.  Some also feature designs that help protect bikes from accidental impacts from other vehicles.  Typically, these storage racks are located near a building, although many are also mounted in concrete rotundas, or even in-ground mounted in grassy areas.

 

Organizations that install these racks do more than provide a convenience for cyclists.  They promote the image of an institution that is environmentally conscious enough to provide parking accommodations for alternatives to vehicles that do not burn fossil fuels.  With an increasingly green awareness emerging nationwide in shopping centers, military bases, commercial office complexes, schools, institutions of higher learning, and government buildings, commercial outdoor steel public bicycle parking racks are also showing up everywhere as a sign that people are beginning to act on new ways of moving from place to place.

 

XPB Locker has many different types of racks that feature a blend of security, vehicle protection, and convenience.  It is very important to realize that bikes are a hot item for people with sticky fingers.  Bikes must be locked in place in order to prevent them from being stolen.  The way they are secured, however, must avoid damage to the vehicle in the process and minimize the possibility of accidental damage while the vehicle remains parked. 

 

The best commercial outdoor steel public bicycle parking racks are those that will accept both U-Locks and cables that pass through the frame of the bike.  U-Locks are the best means of securing two-wheeled vehicles, but they can only be used when there is a close proximity to the frame and the rack.  Racks that hold the bike by the front tire must use cables because the U-Lock cannot reach to connect the frame of the bike to the rack.  These models should only be used in places where theft is unlikely, and the risk of accidental impact is minimal.  Some bikes have removable wheels, so a bike secured only by the front tire can still be stolen, and any impact to the main part of the vehicle can warp the front wheel.

 

Again, this is only a problem in heavy traffic areas where security is problematic.  SuchW areas are better suited by commercial outdoor steel public bicycle parking racks that feature a wave frame design, a circle design, a horseshoe design, or a triangle style design.  These designs accommodate both cables and U-Locks, ensuring maximum security and protection for the bike while parked.

 

The best places to install bike racks are in front of public buildings near the entrance.  Specific numbers of bikes can be accommodated by installing multiple racks in a row.  When space is limited, other areas where racks can provide safe and convenient parking are rotundas and grassy areas alongside of walkways.  

 

XPB Locker cautions against installing commercialoutdoor steel public bicycle parking racks too close to motor vehicle parking spaces.  Close proximity to motor vehicles puts both equipment and cyclists at risk.  If you have limited space around your building and parking lot, ask our team to help you choose the best possible model to fulfill the requirements of bike protection, security, and cyclist safety.
