Why you should invest in bike shelters

November 21, 2022

Bike shelters are great – they keep bikes from getting wet, provide a place to lock up bikes, and are easy for people who don’t have their own bike shelter to park their bikes.

But what about when you’re not biking? What if you’re just trying to get to work, go grocery shopping, or meet a friend for lunch? If it’s raining and you need to run into the bank for a minute, does anyone really want to leave their bike outside in the rain?

What if there were a better way? What if there were a place where you could park your bike while you run inside somewhere quickly? That’s what we asked ourselves here at Shelter Store. We decided it was time for something different.

Bike shelters are great for businesses

Do you know what’s not great for businesses? Bike theft. And you know what helps prevent bike theft? Bike shelters!

Bike shelters can be a lifesaver if you’re looking to protect your business from theft and vandalism – especially if you’re in an area with a lot of foot traffic, like a shopping centre or suburban street corner.

With a small investment per bike shelter, you can keep your bikes safe from theft without having to shell out thousands of pounds for a storage facility. Plus, they’re super easy to install: just set them up on the footpath or anywhere else that works best for your business and voila! You’ve got yourself one more way to make sure customers will want to come back again and again.

They encourage repeat custom

They can help make your business more green, promote a healthy lifestyle, and even encourage customers to come in and check out your products. 

Bike shelters are a great option for businesses like yours. They’re portable and easy to put up, and they can be used for all kinds of events – from weddings to bike races to corporate gatherings.

They’re also perfect for smaller businesses that don’t have the space or budget for a permanent structure. 

And because they’re portable, you can move them around as needed: if your business gets more popular, you can use them at more events!

Bike shelters are a great way to keep your customers happy and coming back for more.

They’re convenient

They’re a convenient way to make sure that your customers have a place to store their bicycles when they’re not using them, which means you don’t have to worry about them getting stolen or damaged. You can even offer free parking at your business – just put up a sign with directions to the shelter!

Bike shelters also help people feel safe in your community. By providing this amenity, you can attract more people who want to cycle around town. The more people who cycle instead of drive, the better our environment will be – and that’s good for everyone!
