Greenford London

Project Overview

Speedy Street Solutions Ltd was appointed to manufacture and install 148 two-tier bike racks for a residential development in Greenford, London on behalf of Telford Homes.

Two-tier cycle racks were selected as the ideal solution, offering efficient double-level cycle storage while maintaining accessibility for residents. Speedy Street Solutions delivered a complete solution including manufacturing, supply, and professional installation of the cycle parking infrastructure.

Project Requirements

Telford Homes required a cycle parking system that would:

• Provide high-capacity cycle storage for residents
• Maximise space efficiency within the cycle storage area
• Be suitable for modern residential developments
• Deliver a durable, low-maintenance solution
• Be manufactured and installed to commercial-grade standards

To meet these requirements, Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and installed 148 two-tier cycle rack spaces, creating a secure and organised bicycle parking facility within the development.

Two Tier Bike Rack System

Two-tier cycle racks are widely used in apartment buildings, transport hubs, universities, and commercial developments where high-density cycle parking is required.

The system stores bicycles across two vertical levels, allowing significantly more bikes to be stored within the same footprint compared to traditional ground-level racks.

Two Tier Cycle Rack Features

• Double-level cycle storage system
• Space-efficient design ideal for residential developments
• Easy-to-use upper-tier lifting mechanism
• Robust steel construction for long-term durability
• Secure locking points for bicycles
• Designed for high-frequency use

The upper racks typically feature gas-assisted or spring-assisted lifting mechanisms, enabling users to raise and lower bicycles with minimal effort.

This makes the system practical for daily use by residents while maintaining a neat and organised cycle storage area.

Supporting Sustainable Transport in Residential Developments

Providing secure cycle parking is an essential component of modern residential developments, particularly in urban areas such as London where sustainable travel is encouraged.

High-quality cycle parking infrastructure helps developments to:

• Encourage residents to use bicycles for local journeys and commuting
• Reduce reliance on cars
• Support local authority active travel policies
• Improve the overall usability and attractiveness of the development

The installation of 148 cycle parking spaces ensures the Greenford development provides convenient and secure storage for residents who choose to travel by bike.

Manufacturing & Installation

All cycle racks were manufactured by Speedy Street Solutions Ltd using commercial-grade materials and strict quality control processes.

Key Project Highlights

Large-Scale Manufacturing Capability
Speedy Street Solutions successfully produced 148 two-tier cycle rack spaces for the development.

Precision Fabrication
Each rack was manufactured to exact specifications to ensure consistent quality and seamless installation.

Professional Installation

Durable Construction
The racks are designed to withstand daily use within a busy residential environment while requiring minimal maintenance.

Why Two Tier Cycle Racks Are Ideal for Apartment Developments

Two-tier cycle racks are increasingly used in residential developments due to their ability to deliver high-capacity cycle parking in limited space.

1. Space Efficiency

Two-tier systems effectively double the number of bicycles that can be stored within the same floor area.

2. Organised Cycle Storage

Structured racks prevent bikes from being left in walkways or leaning against walls.

3. Improved Bicycle Security

Residents can securely lock their bicycles within the rack system.

4. Long-Term Durability

Commercial-grade construction ensures racks remain reliable for many years.
