Case Studies

Falco is pleased to continue its work with Shrewsbury Town Council following the procurement of a further five secure FalcoPod Bike Hangars, which will be operated through the ParkmyBike app. The latest order builds on the successful roll-out of the Shrewsbury Moves branded cycle hangars already installed across the town centre, which have helped provide residents with convenient, secure and weather-protected cycle parking in key locations. Locations for the additional five FalcoPod Bike Hangars are currently being secured, with installation planned for later in 2026. Once in place, the new units will further expand Shrewsbury’s growing network of secure residential and town centre cycle parking, helping to make cycling a more practical option for everyday journeys. Each FalcoPod Bike Hangar provides secure storage for up to six bicycles within a compact footprint, making it ideal for town centres, residential streets and locations where private cycle storage may be limited. The units are designed to protect bicycles from theft, vandalism and the weather, offering users greater confidence when choosing to travel by bike. Operated and managed through Falco’s integrated service—covering everything from installation to rental management and maintenance - these hangars are at the heart of efforts to encourage cycling as a viable, everyday travel option. The continued investment in secure cycle parking reflects Shrewsbury Town Council’s commitment to encouraging active travel and supporting cleaner, healthier journeys across the town. By expanding access to high-quality bike hangars, the Council is helping to remove one of the common barriers to cycling: the lack of safe and convenient cycle storage. Falco is proud to support Shrewsbury Town Council with the next phase of its cycle parking programme, delivering durable, secure and user-friendly bike hangars that help make cycling a more accessible everyday transport choice.

Falco has manufactured, supplied and installed two FalcoPod Bike Hangars for Chelmsford City Council, further supporting the provision of secure and accessible cycle parking within the Chelmsford area. The new bike hangars have been installed at two key community locations, with one unit positioned at Beaulieu Park Sports Area and the other at Beaulieu Square Shopping Centre. Together, the installations provide convenient cycle storage for residents, visitors and local users, helping to encourage cycling for everyday journeys, leisure trips and access to local amenities. Both FalcoPod Bike Hangars feature vibrant bespoke branding graphics, creating a bright and eye-catching appearance while helping the units stand out within their surroundings. The graphics also enhance the visibility of the cycle parking provision, reinforcing the importance of active travel within the community. A key feature of the scheme is the dual access system, with both bike hangars offering app and key-based locking options. This gives cyclists the flexibility to open the hangar using either a traditional key or their mobile phone, providing a user-friendly access solution for a wide range of users. The smart access capability also supports easier management of the cycle parking facility, particularly for local authorities overseeing multiple sites. As part of the project, Falco also constructed a new concrete base for the bike hangar installed at Beaulieu Park Sports Area, ensuring a secure and stable foundation for the unit. Designed to provide secure cycle storage within a compact footprint, the FalcoPod Bike Hangar is ideally suited to public spaces, residential areas, leisure facilities and local centres where high-quality cycle parking is required. This latest installation demonstrates Falco’s ability to deliver complete bike hangar solutions, from groundwork and installation through to branding and smart access integration. More information about the smart app-based locking system can be found here. For more information about the scheme here at Chelmsford, contact our helpful sales team on 01538 380080.

Falco has manufactured, supplied and installed 32 FalcoLevel-Eco two-tier cycle parking spaces for Cheltenham General Hospital NHS. The new cycle parking area is located to the right of the Chedworth Surgical Unit, providing secure and space-efficient cycle parking for staff, visitors and hospital patients. By using a two-tier system, the installation maximises cycle parking capacity within the covered compact footprint, helping to make best use of the available space on site. The FalcoLevel-Eco is a cost-effective two-tier cycle parking solution designed for projects where high-capacity cycle parking is required while keeping budget considerations in mind. The system allows bicycles to be parked on both the upper and lower levels, helping sites such as hospitals, universities, transport hubs and commercial developments increase cycle parking provision without requiring a large amount of additional space. As with all FalcoLevel two-tier systems, the upper rack is supported by gas strut assistance, helping users lift and lower bicycles more easily when parking on the upper level. The design also includes secure locking points and U-profile wheel gutters to help keep bicycles stable and organised. This latest installation demonstrates Falco’s continued experience in delivering practical cycle parking solutions for healthcare environments. By providing secure and accessible cycle parking, Cheltenham General Hospital is helping to support active travel and encourage cycling as a convenient and sustainable transport option for those travelling to and from the site. Falco continues to work with NHS sites and public sector organisations across the UK, delivering cycle parking infrastructure from initial design and manufacture through to supply and professional installation.

Falco has successfully completed the design, manufacture and installation of a high-capacity cycle parking scheme for the University of Oxford’s Global Health Building in Headington. The installation features FalcoLevel-Premium+ XL two-tier cycle racks, designed to maximise cycle parking provision within a compact internal space. In total, the scheme accommodates up to 150 bicycles, helping to support the University’s active travel infrastructure and provide secure, efficient cycle parking for building users. For this project, the FalcoLevel-Premium+ XL system was configured with Sheffield Stands on the lower level instead of traditional lower cycle channels. This provides a flexible and familiar parking option at ground level, while the upper tier delivers additional capacity through the premium assisted two-tier system. The FalcoLevel-Premium+ upper racks are designed to provide a smooth and user-friendly experience, with premium handles and gas strut assistance helping to make parking a bicycle on the upper level easier and more controlled. This makes the system particularly suitable for busy campus environments where durability, accessibility and ease of use are essential. As part of the scheme, Falco also installed two e-bike charging arms, enabling up to four e-bikes to be charged while parked at the Sheffield Stands on the lower level. Finished in a distinctive bright green, the charging arms add valuable e-mobility functionality to the cycle park, helping to meet the growing demand for electric cycle provision. This latest installation follows a number of previous Falco projects for the University of Oxford, including e-bike cycle parking at the Castle Mill Graduate Housing Complex and smart cycle infrastructure designed to support active travel and e-mobility across the University estate. The Global Health Building project highlights Falco’s ability to deliver tailored cycle parking solutions for higher education environments, combining high-capacity two-tier parking, Sheffield Stand provision and integrated e-bike charging within one carefully designed installation. Falco continues to work with universities, local authorities, transport operators and commercial clients across the UK to deliver cycle parking schemes that support sustainable travel and respond to the changing needs of modern cyclists.

Falco has manufactured, supplied and installed a sustainable e-bike and cargo cycle parking facility this month, as part of the Holmfirth Town Centre Access Plan for Kirklees Council. The scheme forms part of wider improvements to Holmfirth town centre, designed to enhance accessibility, encourage active travel and support more sustainable transport choices for residents, visitors and local businesses. As demand for e-bikes and cargo bikes continues to grow, the provision of secure, purpose-designed infrastructure plays an important role in making cycling a more practical everyday option. At the heart of the installation is a FalcoZan-180 cycle shelter, finished with sustainable hardwood cladding and powder coated in an attractive Jet Black RAL colour. The shelter has been designed to provide a durable, high-quality and visually sympathetic solution, complementing the surrounding public realm. The cycle shelter includes three FalcoForce e-bike cycle stands, each featuring an integrated e-bike charging point housed within the stand itself. Together, the stands provide secure cycle parking and charging facilities for up to six e-bikes, enabling users to conveniently charge their bikes while parked. In addition to the e-bike provision, Falco also installed a dedicated cargo bike stand, allowing the shelter to accommodate up to two cargo bikes. This provides valuable flexibility for users with larger cycles, supporting families, local deliveries and those choosing cargo bikes as an alternative to car journeys. To further support cyclists, the installation also includes a FalcoFix 2.0 cycle repair stand, allowing users to carry out basic maintenance and adjustments on-site. A green sedum roof has also been incorporated into the shelter design, helping to soften the visual impact of the structure while supporting biodiversity and sustainable drainage. This project demonstrates Falco’s ability to deliver future-focused cycle parking infrastructure that responds to the changing needs of modern cyclists. By combining secure e-bike parking, integrated charging, cargo bike provision, repair facilities and sustainable design features, the Holmfirth installation provides a practical and forward-thinking active travel facility for the town centre.

Falco has successfully completed the manufacture, supply and installation of 38 FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle parking spaces at Edinburgh Napier University’s Merchiston Campus, helping to enhance secure cycle parking provision for students, staff and visitors. The FalcoLevel-Premium+ is designed to maximise cycle parking capacity while maintaining a smooth and user-friendly experience, making it ideal for high-demand environments such as universities, transport hubs and city centre developments. The premium system features lightweight aluminium upper trays, premium handles and gas strut assistance to make lifting and storing bicycles on the upper level both safe and straightforward. As part of the project, Falco also removed the existing Sheffield Stands from the installation area to allow for the new high-capacity two-tier system to be introduced. By replacing traditional cycle stands with the FalcoLevel-Premium+, Edinburgh Napier University has been able to significantly increase the number of secure cycle parking spaces available within the same footprint. To enhance the facilities further, Falco manufacture cycle repair stands, pumps and E bike charging units that can be retro fitted to our existing range of two-tier cycle racks. The installation supports the university’s wider sustainability and active travel objectives by encouraging cycling as a practical and convenient transport option across campus. High-capacity cycle parking solutions such as the FalcoLevel-Premium+ are becoming increasingly important within educational environments, where demand for secure cycle storage continues to grow. Falco continues to work with universities, colleges and educational institutions across the UK to deliver tailored cycle parking infrastructure designed to meet the needs of modern campuses, from initial design through to manufacture and professional installation.
