What Is A BDS Cycle Shelter?

Cycle shelters provide cyclists with secure and weatherproof storage for their bikes, promote and encourage more commuters to ride to work, and minimise abandoned and stolen bicycles.

The BDS Cycle Shelter is a cycle shelter that comes in different forms, finishes and sizes. It’s a highly customisable cycle storage option that can accommodate any number of parking spaces. Additionally, the BDS Cycle Shelter can also come in an enclosed version. Thus giving your bikes more protection from the harsh weather conditions.

Why the BDS Cycle Shelter is a good choice?

Research suggests that students and employees that cycle are less stressed, more productive, and more focused. By showing you think of these people, you as a senior property manager can gain a competitive edge when attracting tenants in high-tech and forward-looking industries.

But let’s look beyond avid cyclists – micromobility is becoming the preferred solution for everyone due to increased congestion, covid-19 restrictions and limited car parking options that make every day a huge hassle.

The desire to move is universal. The question is – do you provide the infrastructure to make it possible? With the BDS Cycle Shelter, you can.

Let’s discover its functionality, finishes, and features.
