Taken on a crisp morning in March 2010 within view of the church, this photo shows the FalcoQuarter cycle shelter very much at home with its surroundings. Julie Young the Sustainable Travel Co-ordinator at the Argyll and Bute Council thanked the Falco sales staff for their work commenting “Thanks for responding so quickly and for good liaison with our site contacts. We’re very happy with the service and equipment we’ve received from Falco.” The Council required Falco to install a cycle parking shelter for ten bikes in four independent sites. Falco supplied and fitted this cost effective street furniture product in an efficient two week period for all four sites. The FalcoQuarter cycle shelter is carefully manufactured to meet BREEAM standards. All Falco cycle parking systems are hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 for a very ling life span and can be subsequently powder coated in any of the RAL colours
