Case Studies
This month, Falco manufactured, supplied and installed a bespoke 10m x 4.5m cycle hub and mobility store for Penzance Bus Station in Cornwall, providing secure, high-quality cycle parking and storage facilities at a key local transport location.
The new structure has been designed to serve two distinct functions within one integrated unit. The front section forms the secure cycle hub, constructed using reinforced safety glass to create a bright, visible and accessible cycle parking facility. The rear section provides a dedicated mobility store, finished with blue profiled Aluzinc cladding to create a durable and secure enclosed storage area.
Access to the cycle hub is provided via a single door at the front of the structure, while the mobility store is accessed separately through double doors at the rear. This layout ensures that both areas operate independently while remaining part of one cohesive installation.
The cycle hub accommodates up to 30 bicycles using FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle racks, maximising capacity within a compact footprint. The FalcoLevel-Premium+ is designed to provide a smooth and user-friendly cycle parking experience, making it ideal for transport hubs and other high-demand environments where efficient cycle storage is essential.
To further support cyclists, the hub has also been equipped with a FalcoFix 2.0 cycle repair stand, allowing users to carry out basic maintenance and adjustments on-site. LED lighting has been incorporated within the cycle hub to improve visibility, usability and security for those accessing the facility throughout the day.
A key feature of the project is the green sedum roof installed across the full structure. This helps soften the visual impact of the hub, supports biodiversity and contributes to a more sustainable approach to public realm infrastructure.
The entire structure, including the FalcoFix 2.0 cycle repair stand, has been powder coated in an attractive light blue RAL colour, creating a bright and distinctive finish that complements the surrounding environment.
