With spring fast approaching, updating your cycle storage solutions is a must! Nicer weather is a great way to encourage more people to cycle to work, school, and to complete daily admin tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Direct2U, we offer a wide range of high-quality bicycle storage options<\/a>. Our shelters can act as a free-standing unit or be installed against a tough exterior wall. For this reason, we are sure to have the correct cycle shelter to meet your requirements and keep your bikes safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of cycling? \ud83d\udeb5\ud83c\udffc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddd8\ud83c\udffcPeople who are active, including cycling, have 32% higher well-being than those who are inactive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udec1 Cycling can reduce the likelihood of getting unwell with colds, ideal as we move into the sunny months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\ude98 Picking cycling over driving is a great way to avoid traffic congestion, helping you to get to your destination faster<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca4 Cyclists are likely to have better sleeping patterns than those who do not cycle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf31 Cycling uses no fossil fuels, making it the best sustainable mode of transport apart from walking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Apart from the initial purchase of a bike, cycling to and from work can save you money on fuel, gym memberships, and overall travel costs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our top 5 cycle storage solutions \u2b50\ufe0f <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Fortis Cycle Shelter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Our best-selling Fortis Shelter<\/a> is ideal for use in a variety of outdoor areas, including outside schools and public parks. Each shelter features a high-quality steel framework and a 4mm PETG roof, making it weather-resistant to protect your bikes from the unpredictable UK elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dudley Cycle Shelter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The popular Dudley Cycle Shelter<\/a> is available in a variety of powder-coated colours, ideal for adding a layer of protection against knocks, scrapes and scratches. These colours can also help the shelter blend in with the natural environment it is placed in, or stand out as a way of encouraging people to cycle to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on which shelter width you choose, you will receive a complementary amount of Sheffield Hoops<\/a>. This helps to create a seamless cycle storage package. Adjustable feet on this shelter can also ensure the cycle shelter is level, preserving its integrity for long-term use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Wall-Mounted Cycle Racks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

For a fully welded bicycle holder, our wall-mounted cycle rack<\/a> is the ideal choice. Because of the option to purchase the rack at a 60\u00b0 or 90\u00b0 angle, this rack can be set up in an orientation that best suits your organisational requirements. Two steel bars secure the wheel in place, and its open design allows a chain to be easily fed through the rack and front wheel, securing the bike in place. They are ideal for versatile use with any bike type, ranging from electric bikes to mountain bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 5-day delivery available on these racks, you can store your bikes in a secure fashion in no time at all. Additionally, the top powder coating acts as protection against scratches. As a result, the appearance of your racking system professional for longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
