Advices and personalized studies on bike facilities

To encourage new users to ride their bikes safely, it is necessary to plan reliable bike parking and security solutions. In a residential building or an office building, creating a well-designed bike storage area is a way to promote daily bike use and provide concrete solutions to combat theft.

The design of the bike storage room should be planned as early as possible, either during the construction project of a new building or as part of the development of an eco-district.

In the case of the renovation of an existing bike storage room and when offices or residences are already built, it is important to define the users’ needs in order to offer suitable bike equipment: bike racks, equipment for bike maintenance

To design your bike storage room, all types of bike racks can be considered: ground parking, 2-level parking, wall-mounted parking.

Depending on the size of the premises and the infrastructure, the choice will fall on one or other of these options.

The layout of the bike room is carried out in several stages. Initially, you send us plans and photos of the space you wish to convert into a bike room via email.

A consultant will then call you to understand your constraints (ceiling height, bike room access, circulation, etc.) and assess your needs: number of bikes, types of bikes (standard, e-bikes, cargo bikes, children’s bikes, etc.), bike equipment, cyclist accessories, etc.

Our design and study office then conducts a fully personalized layout study for your project, taking into account the specificities of your bike room. We will then send you a layout plan for the bike room, along with a personalized quote and technical information about our products.

The installation of the bike racks and equipment can also be carried out by our installation teams.

Based on the sizes below, you can assess the dimensions of your bike shelter or bike room.

Several bike arrangement solutions are possible depending on the supports to optimize the space usage for bikes.

Abriplus advises and guides you in the design of your secure bike storage. The bike supports offered will be perfectly suited to the size of your space: bike racks, bike stands, wall-mounted parking…

Depending on the available height, bike supports on 2 levels can be considered.

All configurations of bike parkings can be studied, and a mix of these solutions can also be proposed. The chosen bike supports will also take into account the necessary spacing between bikes and the circulation within the bike storage area.

Abriplus is able to offer you a customized layout and installation, while optimizing the number of secure bike parking spaces.

To visualize the bike storage layout, we provide you with a detailed plan. Our graphic team can also offer you a 3D model and a fully customized graphic identity.

All local authorities and social landlords can obtain, under certain conditions, subsidies for the purchase and installation of bicycle parking in a secured bicycle room. The grants can cover up to 60% of the cost depending on the chosen equipment to encourage bicycle use. The subsidy application process under the Alvéole program can be completed quickly online after downloading the manufacturer’s quote for the bicycle parking equipment.

The budget to be planned for setting up a bike room depends on various factors: the size and layout of the bike room, the number of bikes to secure, the desired bike supports, the materials, and more.
