The Government’s recently announced Active Travel Innovation Fund, which offers grants of up to £100,000 to small and medium-sized businesses and NGOs, represents a bold step forward in accelerating walking, wheeling and cycling initiatives across England. Falco, a leading manufacturer and supplier of secure cycle parking systems, cycle racks, shelters, cycle hubs and bike hangars, applauds the initiative and is positioning itself as a capable partner for any organisation or business preparing a bid.

Falco has recently installed a number of cycle canopies and shelters with integral solar PV (Photo Voltaic) powered LED lighting. A key element of keeping bicycles safe is to ensure they are visible and well-lit. Ordinarily a client would have to provide an electric mains feed in order to install costly mains lighting to a shelter. However Falco has a cost-effective and efficient solution using Solar PV panels, to enable the client to go “off grid”. The Solar powered lighting system is both simple and safe. It consists of mounting a PV panel on the roof of the shelter or canopy, this is then connected to a controller and battery pack which in-turn is connected to the LED light. The LED...
Falco has been a family company with its own production site for over 70 years. Sustainability was in our DNA from the very beginning and this is reflected within our complete range of modular cycle parking and shelter products, all designed with full circularity in mind.
All products ranges are contemporary and durable, typical of a Falco product. Falco has been at the forefront of the cycle parking and street furniture market and has built up a renowned reputation for manufacturing products that exceed in both design and durability.
Falco’s operations have supported the Circular Economy for many years, simply manufacturing products with environmentally friendly products, that can last for decades and at the end of the product life can be 100% recycled and manufactured back into a brand new product.
