Big Bird Gullwing Cycle Shelter - Cycle Shelter

The Big Bird Cycle Gullwing Shelter is a striking, design-led structure defined by its contemporary ‘gullwing’ roof profile. Its distinctive form is achieved through a strengthened cantilevered frame paired with a custom-engineered centralised guttering system, allowing rainwater to be channelled cleanly and efficiently while maintaining the shelter’s sleek architectural lines.

As a fully made-to-order product, the Big Bird Shelter offers complete flexibility in both scale and configuration. Its modular system can be extended indefinitely to suit long run lengths, multiple parking bays, or large campus-style active travel hubs. The height of the structure can also be customised, ensuring full compatibility with any cycle storage solution within The Bike Storage Company’s range — including Sheffield Stands, Semi-Vertical Racks and high-density Two-Tier Racks.

The shelter is engineered for performance and longevity, with options for solar integration, lighting, sedum green roofing and a range of finish specifications. Delivered with a full design, fabrication and installation service, the Big Bird Shelter is suited to premium developments seeking a visually impactful, British-made cycle parking solution that balances aesthetics with robust functionality.
