On the 9th July the first cycle hub opened its doors in Stockholm - the capital of Sweden, providing a revolutionary facility for commuters and tourists to securely park their bikes. The state-of-the-art, three floor facility, uses the FalcoLevel two-tier cycle parking rack and Triangle cycle stands to provide 390 free of charge cycle spaces. The Swedish government wants to promote the use of cycling and public transport to ease congestion and reduce its carbon footprint. Therefore this new cycle parking infrastructure makes cycling in Stockholm an attractive and easy way to travel around the city and become part of the city’s everyday life. Stockholm’s Transport Chief - Ula Hamilton explains ‘We would like more people to start cycling around the city and to increase use of public transport, therefore we have created Stockholm’s first cycle hub which is ideally situated next to train and bus services’. The new cycle hub is easily accessible via various cycle paths, as well as part of a bus terminal route providing accessibility from all areas of the city. Towards the end of 2012 a sheltered cycle path is planned connecting cyclists to the Älvsjö train station so that the rail - cycle parking link is enhanced still further. For more information about the new cycle hub or the FalcoLevel two-tier cycle parking system, please contact our helpful sales team on (01538) 380080.

FalcoSail Cycle Shelter The University of Northampton have sailed to the future with the latest addition of a FalcoSail cycle shelter. The cycle shelter is equipped with an add-on section and 12 bolt down Sheffield stands taking the cycle parking space to a huge 24! The cycle shelter is made complete with a blue powder coating that provides pleasing aesthetics and an additional layer of protection to the steel framework. The FalcoSail cycle shelter is a great design alternative to the FalcoLite or FalcoQuarter cycle shelter. The FalcoSail is a design led product and from any angle the likeness of a sail ship is unmistakable, making the shelter a very attractive addition to any external environment for use as a cycle shelter. The standard FalcoSail can accommodate up to 10 bikes, however like all Falco cycle shelters, the FalcoSail is modular in design enabling a shelter to be extended to be able to house any number of cycles in various combinations. The great flexibility of the FalcoSail enables it to be used for multiple purposes, from a cycle shelter to a waiting shelter or smoking shelter, or even as a pushchair shelter. Robust Cycle Shelter Clad in robust polycarbonate the cycle shelter steelwork is hot dip galvanised to BS EN 1461 with complete resistance to rust. The cycle shelter can then be powder coated in any of the 192 RAL colours to maintain a maximum life span.

When Network Rail wanted to upgrade the concourse outside Euston station, they turned to Falco to develop a bespoke picnic table. Based on the FalcoBloc range of seating, the new design for the main West Coast terminus was specially adapted to meet the needs of the travelling public. Falco’s street furniture design team took the popular FalcoBloc table and adapted it in conjunction with the requirements of Network Rail’s station management team. The new solid and functional design provides a stylish and welcoming environment for travellers to the North and West. Manufactured from robust steel and hardwood, the FalcoBloc picnic tables are designed to be very functional and long lasting. Completed in June 2009, the FalcoBloc picnic benches have already proved highly popular and seem to be of great use to all members of the public.
