The Bike Storage Company

Ruskin Square is an initiative to revamp a section of land between East Croydon railway station and the established town centre of Croydon in South London. This project is a part of the broader Croydon Vision 2020 rejuvenation plan.Croydon, recognised as the primary office district in South London, underwent significant reconstruction in the 1960s. However, a considerable portion of the office buildings constructed during that period now appear outdated, and the area appears to be run down. Croydon is already one of the UK's largest commercial hubs. The completion of Ruskin Square will take the area to a whole new level, with up to 1.25m sq ft of office space alongside up to 625 residential units, 100,000 sq ft of retail, cafes and restaurants and vibrant and attractive public spaces. Following the successful completion of Building 1 in 2016, we are pleased to announce that the Bike Storage Company has been contracted to consult on the bike storage solutions for Building 2, which was completed in 2023.

The largest natural gas distribution network in the United Kingdom, Cadent Gas is the supplier of choice for 11 million homes and businesses across the Midlands and the North of England.The company has recently relocated to a brand-new sustainability-focused headquarters in Coventry’s Antsy Park, with the building attaining a ‘very good’ BREEAM status.Providing a positive work-life balance for staff members was a core tenet of their design ethos. The four-floor, 100,000-square-foot office space has a state-of-the-art gymnasium, restaurant, and leisure areas.With employee well-being and environmentally friendly building practices at the heart of this project, our team was recruited to deliver a bespoke product to enable and incentivise staff members to cycle to work.The solution Cadent Gas’s new headquarters is home to a team of 1,000 employees, and we were therefore tasked with designing and installing a bespoke, carbon-positive 100-Space Bespoke Gullwing Canopy.Galvanised Sheffield stands were chosen to provide a hassle-free and secure locking option for bikes, designed to accommodate a bike on either side of each stand.State-of-the-art solar panels were installed on the roof as part of the scheme’s drive towards renewable energy sources. The Bike Storage Company worked alongside other key contractors to deliver the scheme under a very tight completion window.With a broad cantilevered roofline, the roof needed to be tested by our in-house structural engineer, designing a heavy-duty purlin arrangement to ensure full support under snow-loading and additional weight of the solar panels.A clever central guttering system ensured a neat, efficient discharge of rainwater from the roofline, with several strategically positioned outlets placed along the length of the canopy.The unit’s base plates were designed to be fixed below ground level, eliminating any potential trip hazard and creating a far cleaner look than when exposed. A jet-black powder coating of RAL 9005 was chosen to deliver a striking visual contrast to the surrounding sandstone block paving.As Cadent Gas continues to decarbonise its operations proactively, it was great to support its strategic shift by delivering a sustainably orientated canopy that could incentivise cycle-to-work opportunities for its staff.Product specificationBespoke 100 Space Gullwing ShelterHot-dipped galvanised and powder-coatedRoofing framework upgraded to support photovoltaic panelsStrengthened box profile sheet metal roofing50 Galvanised Sheffield Stands and integrated gutteringFive rainwater dispersesShelter base plate fix below finished ground levelBREEAM compliant

Devonport, the most extensive naval base in Western Europe, has supported the Royal Navy since 1691. This expansive facility spans over 650 acres and boasts 15 dry docks, four miles of waterfront, 25 tidal berths, and five basins. It is pivotal in employing 2,500 service personnel and civilians, bolstering approximately 400 local businesses, and contributing around ten per cent of Plymouth’s revenue.Devonport Royal Dockyard has been selected to provide future deep maintenance support to the Royal Navy’s newest submarine platforms and the current workload supporting existing submarine classes. This will see an investment in infrastructure of approximately £2bn over the next 10 years.Part of this investment was overhauling the Camels Head Gate entrance to the site, which increased security and improved access for cars, pedestrians, and cyclists.A Royal Navy spokesperson said, “Camels Head Gate has not been upgraded for some years, and this upgrade will enhance the security and safety of personnel and visitors to the Naval Base.”Bowmer + Kirkland approached the Bike Storage Company and was commissioned to design, manufacture, and install bespoke bike storage and a bus shelter for the Ministry of Defence site. This early concept sketch shows the new multistorey car park plan, bike parking provisions and a bus stop at the base's entrance.The brief was for 60 cycle spaces, but with limited ground space for the installation, we knew our starting point would be to deploy our two-tier rack system.. The space allowed four back-to-back 16-space (8-up, 8-down) two-tier racks, providing 64 cycle parking spots. We then turned our attention to the shelter itself. The challenge was to focus on security and cycle protection while maintaining the modern look of the new facilities on site. The cycle shelters were housed within the secure boundaries of the base and covered by numerous existing CCTV cameras, so we started designing a bespoke, toughened, glass-panelled shelter.Using glass allowed for a line of site visibility for CCTV and personnel, a deterrent for any would-be bike thieves, but also allowed all the ambient light in the area to reach the internals of the shelter, negating the need for extra internal lighting and turn-keeping clean lines across the design.We started by looking at our hugely popular Binfield Cycle Shelter – a cantilevered canopy that can be upgraded to 8mm toughened glass. To increase protection from the elements, we levelled out the roof and extended the glass panelling to the rear and sides of the shelter.The result was a beautiful, modern shelter with excellent security to withstand and protect bikes from the coastal elements.We then mirrored this design for the requested bus shelter, stripping out the bike racks but designing a built-in noticeboard and bench. A nice finishing touch was powder-coating the galvanised steel frame in the same colour as the buses that service the stop. We also added a translucent vinyl design of dots to the shelter's roof panels to reduce direct sunlight's impact on waiting passengers.  The result was a fantastic achievement and tremendous success. It provided the MOD naval base with accessible facilities that suited the site and its ongoing development. Our design team applied their expertise to develop a truly bespoke service that maximised the use of space on the ground and delivered modern solutions for a modern organisation.

1 Triton Square has undergone a comprehensive back-to-the-frame refurbishment and extension, providing a state-of-the-art prime headquarters office building located at the heart of the campus. It was completed to shell and core in 2021. During the design phase, we engaged the Bike Storage Company to assist in pursuing the BREEAM Outstanding status. Their involvement has been instrumental in establishing 1 Triton Square as one of the UK's leading sustainable HQs. We utilised our easy-to-use Two Tier Cycle Rack system to ensure the maximum amount of cycle storage with as little infrastructure and services as possible. Our expert design team was tasked with designing the layout of the internal cycle store, and we manufactured and installed the Two Tier Racks to house 532 cycles. Further, a high-security section of the store needed to be separated to provide parking for long-term and regular users and from the public-accessible cycle storage. We achieved this by installing our High-Security Anti-Climb Mesh Partitioning inside the store, which is accessible via a separate access-controlled entrance adjacent to the public entrance. Our High-Security Anti-Climb Mesh is a versatile security fencing or partitioning solution. We can install two—or three-meter-high panels and design and fit them around any terrain, ground height changes, or ceiling services, making it an excellent option where security is paramount.

Located in the heart of St James’s, Ryder Street is surrounded by some of London’s most architecturally significant buildings. Any external infrastructure must achieve the highest standard of visual integration while offering functional, secure storage for residents and staff. The Bike Storage Company was commissioned to design and deliver a bespoke Amazon Eco Cycle Store that could sit comfortably within this sensitive, high-value urban context.To achieve this, BSC developed a timber-clad, fully enclosed cycle store with a sedum-ready roof structure, offering security, weather protection, and a premium architectural finish. The design prioritised discreet integration into the surrounding courtyard, maintaining sightlines and respecting the heritage character of the area. The unit’s steel frame was hot-dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 for maximum protection, ensuring longevity in an urban environment where reliability and anti-corrosion performance are essential.Internally, the store includes galvanised Sheffield stands to provide secure, easy-to-use parking for everyday cyclists. External details such as powder-coated steelwork, concealed fixings, and high-quality timber cladding reinforce the visual refinement required for a Westminster planning area.The project demonstrates BSC’s strength in delivering bespoke, design-led cycle storage solutions that serve modern active travel needs without compromising architectural integrity. The result is a practical yet elegant installation that reflects the expectations of a premium central London development.

Stafford Yard forms part of the Bedminster Green regeneration — one of Bristol’s most ambitious urban improvement programmes, focused on sustainable transport, high-quality housing, and the transition to a lower-carbon city. To support the development’s active travel objectives, Dandara appointed The Bike Storage Company to design, supply, and install a comprehensive, multi-building cycle storage and end-of-trip package.BSC delivered a fully integrated solution comprising Gas-Assisted Two-Tier Racks, Sheffield stands, folding bike lockers, vertical lockers, accessory lockers, and maintenance stations. This combination ensures the scheme accommodates a wide variety of bike types and storage preferences, including e-bikes, cargo bikes, and compact folding models. The racks were configured to maximise parking density across constrained indoor rooms while maintaining clear access routes and inclusive reach ranges.All products were manufactured in the UK and selected for longevity, strength, and whole-life value — a core component of BSC’s premium, British-made product positioning. Installation was completed across multiple phases, coordinated with the contractor’s programme and site logistics to reduce disruption.The result is a future-proof active travel network within the development: safe, accessible, high-capacity cycle parking supported by practical end-of-trip enhancements. Stafford Yard exemplifies how modern residential schemes can embed cycling into their infrastructure from day one, supporting resident mobility while contributing to citywide sustainability goals.

Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) is in high demand as the UK's leading reputation on the university world stage continues to attract domestic and international students. The Enso project began in 2021 and finished construction in under two years. Student accommodation provider CRM will run the scheme, and the first students will move in this September.Located on Hawkins Road, just within 20 minutes from the University of Essex, the Enso project offers excellent transport links. The nearby Hythe railway connects directly to Colchester mainline station, making it a convenient choice for students.Watkin Jones plc, in collaboration with The Bike Storage Company, has designed, manufactured, and installed various bike storage solutions for the Enso project. These include three types of bike storage for the site and a bespoke Amazon Eco Bin Store, ensuring all residents' needs are met.For the primary cycle storage area on the site intended for the accommodation residents, we built a 100-space Amazon Eco Two-Tier Cycle Shelter, with Gas-Powder-Coated Upper Tiers for ease of use, our ever-popular Sheffield stands on the lower tier for efficiency. Alongside the 100 Space Shelter, we provided 6 Vertical Bike Lockers for a premium, personal storage solution. Finally, we provided some easily visible and accessible Stainless Steel Sheffield Stands at the entrance of the building for visitors to the site. All timbers used in constructing our timber-clad shelters and enclosures are responsibly sourced. Our innovative cycle storage has enabled the development to become one of Colchester's most sustainable PBSA schemes, achieving a BREEAM "Excellent" rating. This is a testament to our commitment to environmental responsibility and should make all stakeholders proud of the project's positive impact.
