Benefits of Bike Enclosures & Compounds

March 03, 2022

Bike parking and bike enclosures have never been more necessary than they are now! Cycling has long been seen as a sport rather than a popular mode of transportation. However, as more people opt to cycle to work or school, the concept has developed. Everyone believes that cycling is one of the best modes of transportation, with loads of mental and physical advantages. With more people choosing cycling as their primary mode of transportation, there is a greater need for Bike Enclosures & Compounds to offer cyclists with a safe spot to keep their bikes.

Our selection of bike shelters and bike storage facilities are ideal for storing bicycles. Bike enclosures not only provide a safe environment for cyclists but they also shield them from inclement weather and free up space inside the house or business. Browse our selection of Bike Enclosures & Compounds, which are available in a variety of sizes, colours, and styles. From a Mini Shelter for 6-8 bicycles to the Thirlmere Cycle Enclosure with 60-120 bike parking spaces. 

There are strong advantages to having these bike enclosures and cycle storage systems installed. We’ve included a few of them below:

Security

A nice bike is expensive, and leaving it unattended exposes it to theft and damage. Every year, an estimated 400,000 bikes are stolen or destroyed. Bike enclosures, and bike compounds, provide a safe and secure location for bicycles while the user is at work or school, visiting a museum, or visiting another location. Educational institutions have also acknowledged students’ bike shelters as a necessity. After all, who wants to deal with an enraged parent whose child’s cycle has been stolen?

Defend yourself against the wrath of the elements

Another benefit of bike enclosure storage is that it protects you from direct sunshine or rain. Parking a bike in the sun or in the rain not only ruins it physically, but it also costs you money in repairs. Did you know that UV rays have a direct impact on the paint and other components of a bike? Similarly, rain can cause not just corrosion, but it can also harm your bicycle’s functionality. This, in turn, will cost you time and money to keep your bike in good working order. 

Attractiveness

Installing a bike enclosure with a basic but attractive design will improve the aesthetic appeal of any location. A bike enclosure not only provides a secure storage area but it also adds to the value of the area where it is. They can be found in parks or outside cinemas, where they add to the overall aesthetic while also providing a safe place to park your bicycle. Bike enclosures are available in a range of styles and may be placed in a variety of locations. Natural-looking wood or metal shelters are also suitable for use in the outdoors and blend in.
