Project Overview
Speedy Street Solutions Ltd was appointed to manufacture and install 20 two-tier bike racks at Varndean School in Brighton. The project aimed to provide high-capacity, space-efficient cycle parking to support the school’s commitment to sustainable travel and encourage more students and staff to cycle to school.
With cycling becoming increasingly popular among pupils and staff, the school required a secure, organised, and durable cycle parking solution capable of accommodating a large number of bicycles while making efficient use of the available space.
Speedy Street Solutions supplied and installed a commercial-grade two-tier cycle rack system, delivering a practical and long-lasting solution suitable for a busy educational environment.
Project Requirements
Varndean School required a cycle parking system that would:
- Provide high-capacity bicycle storage
- Maximise available space within the cycle parking area
- Be safe and easy for students to use
- Offer a durable solution capable of handling daily use in a school environment
- Be professionally manufactured and installed to ensure long-term reliability
To meet these requirements, Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and installed 20 two-tier cycle rack units, significantly increasing the number of available cycle parking spaces on site.
Two Tier Bike Rack System
Two-tier cycle racks are widely used in schools, universities, transport hubs, and residential developments where space-efficient cycle parking is essential.
The system allows bicycles to be stored on two levels, effectively doubling the storage capacity within the same footprint compared to traditional ground-level racks.
Two Tier Cycle Rack Features
- Double-level cycle parking system
- Space-saving design for high-capacity storage
- Easy-to-use upper-tier lifting mechanism
- Robust steel construction suitable for commercial use
- Designed for secure cycle locking
- Ideal for high-traffic environments such as schools and campuses
The upper-tier racks typically use a gas-assisted or spring-assisted lifting mechanism, allowing users to raise and lower bicycles safely and easily.
This makes the system suitable for daily use by students and staff, while ensuring the cycle storage area remains organised and efficient.
Supporting Sustainable Travel in Schools
Installing high-capacity cycle parking plays an important role in promoting active and sustainable travel among students.
By providing secure and convenient bicycle storage, schools can:
- Encourage more students and staff to cycle to school
- Reduce traffic congestion during drop-off and pick-up times
- Support healthier lifestyles through active travel
- Contribute to environmental sustainability goals
The installation at Varndean School helps create a cycle-friendly campus, making it easier and more appealing for students to travel by bike.
