University of Edinburgh Receives Ingenious Vertical Cycle Stands
29-01-2019

The University of Edinburgh is the first UK University to install the advanced VelowUp® vertical cycle stands at its MRC Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine department.

The Institute, specialising in human molecular genetics and biology research, received a series of 63 of the advanced cycle parking systems enabling visitors and staff members to securely park a bike within the restricted space.

The advanced VelowUp® vertical cycle stand was chosen to utilise the limited space available and provide a maximum number of cycle parking spaces which no other cycle rack was able to provide.

In addition to the University of Edinburgh, Falco has recently installed another series of 15 VelowUp cycle stands for Valentines Park in the London Borough of Redbridge, allowing visitors of all ages to securely park a bike.

VelowUp® Vertical Cycle Rack
The VelowUp® is purposely designed to maximise the amount of cycle parking spaces in areas where space is at a premium. The system is designed to save up to 40% more space compared to any other conventional cycle rack or stand. The VelowUp® is easy to install, simple to operate and securely accommodates all types of bicycles.
