Bike parking and shelters have never been more important than today! Cycling has always been more of a pastime than a source of transportation. However, as more people choose to cycle to work or school, the notion has evolved. Cycling is often regarded as one of the healthiest ways of transportation, having several mental and physical benefits. With more people choosing cycling as their primary form of transport, there is a rising demand for The Street Dock to provide bikers with a safe place to store their bikes while they rest.
There are various advantages to installing these bike shelters. Listed below are a handful of them:
Security
A good bicycle is costly and leaving it unattended leaves it vulnerable to theft and damage. In the United Kingdom, an estimated 400,000 bicycles are stolen or destroyed each year. For example, bike shelters keep bicycles safe and secure when the user is at work, school, or a museum. Educational institutions have also recognised the need for bike shelters for students.
Protection against the elements

UV rays directly influence a bicycle’s paint and other components. Also, rain can cause not just corrosion but also damage your bicycle’s operation. This, in turn, will take time and money to maintain the bike running properly.

They can go around a fountain, in parks, or outside theatres, where they contribute to the overall appeal. While simultaneously offering a secure location for bicycle parking.
