Case Studies
Falco has recently completed the design, manufacture, supply and installation of a new cycle parking facility for Long Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge, providing students and staff with a high-quality solution to encourage sustainable travel.
The Falco design team provided four different shelter options to fit in the space envelope and the client made a decision on the most suitable product.
The final project comprises a 16-metre run of the robust FalcoRail double-sided cycle shelter, fitted with FalcoLevel-Eco two-tier cycle racks to accommodate an impressive 144 bicycles. Strategically located outside the entrance to the college sports centre, the new facility delivers both functionality and convenience, helping to support the college’s commitment to promoting active travel among its community.
As part of the turnkey package, Falco UK constructed bespoke concrete pocket foundations to ensure a durable and long-lasting installation. The FalcoRail shelter is designed to provide maximum protection against the weather, while the FalcoLevel-Eco two-tier racks enable safe, efficient, and space-saving storage of cycles, making the most of the available footprint.
The latest two-tier rack offers superior practicality compared to other cheaper models and is exceptionally user-friendly, quieter in operation and offers enhanced security. They include a state of the art gas strut to ensure safety to the users to take the weight of any bike when operating
The FalcoRail cycle canopy was purposely designed to compliment the two-tier system and offers maximum coverage whilst promoting a open spacious and lightweight design.
This installation is the latest in a series of cycle parking schemes carried out by Falco across the education sector, highlighting the company’s ability to deliver tailored, high-capacity solutions that combine innovative design with practical benefits for both clients and end users. Other recent projects include secure cycle parking and e-bike battery charging lockers for the University of Oxford, secure FalcoPod Bike Hangars for the University of Glasgow and the UK’s first network of cargo bike lockers for the University of Bristol.
