Case Studies

The new Bike Hangars have been installed at a number of locations across the Borough and provide members of the public, who do not have access to private cycle parking facilities, with a convenient and secure location to park their bike.

Each FalcoPod Bike Hangar has been powder coated in a distinctive Fir Green and provides secure cycle parking for up to six bikes each.

The FalcoPod is a third generation of ‘bike hangar’ type product building on the pedigree of the original street locker the ‘Midi Bike Box’ with some great new features over existing products as follows:

• Size - fits in half a car parking space and houses 6 bikes, with covered weather protection.
• Family inclusive – with an ergonomically improved design, the additional space/height (55% more) means in some cases there is no need to remove child seats or baskets from the back or front of bikes.
• Bike security - the six place FalcoSound bike rack has three locking points including the ability to use a ‘D’ lock through the rear wheel and frame.
• Easy access - single door with integral lock and gas strut for assisted lifting.

The new smooth design of the FalcoPod bike hangar makes it a great asset to showcase graphics and branding to members of the public. Whether the branding is highlighting a local cycling scheme, company, charity or Council, the FalcoPod can accommodate a whole range of design options - from images to maps, logos and patterns, or simply just a bold colour as shown here at Waltham Forest.
