‘Industrial’ looking, but effective protection for 10-15 years.
304 Stainless steel
A non-rusting material that suits modern surroundings. ‘Marine Grade’ 316 stainless steel is also available.
Locking Mechanisms & Options
The design allows the cyclist to lock the bike frame and wheels with their own chain or D-lock.

Issues & FAQ
Issues to consider
Security
This rack provides many locking points for a bike.
The racks are only as good as the user’s lock. The bikes are visible to potential thieves and vandals, and they are open to the elements (unless under a shelter). Accessories, wheels and saddles can be stolen from them.
Please see our product range for more long-term secure bicycle parking.
Damage to bikes
Like all similar racks, the bike just rests against the rack and the opposite bike. We recommend powder coating as this offers some protection for the bike’s paintwork.
