Project

Client: Charles Tyrwhitt
Location: Milton Keynes

To encourage active travel and reduce on-site car dependency, Charles Tyrwhitt commissioned The Bike Storage Company to design and install a compact, high-capacity cycle facility aligned with modern sustainability standards and a premium campus aesthetic.

Challenges

• Limited footprint: Deliver high capacity within tight external space constraints.
• Security: Provide robust protection against theft and vandalism with clear user locking points.
• Seamless integration: Install with minimal disruption and ensure the system complements existing architecture.

Our Solution

We supplied the Chelsea Two-Tier Cycle Shelter, paired with gas-assisted two-tier racks to double capacity without increasing footprint. The system combines ergonomic usability, durable construction, and options to match site branding.

Key Features

• Space-saving two-tier layout for high-density parking.
• Gas-assisted upper tiers and EasyGrip handles for effortless loading.
• Secure locking hoops enabling frame-and-wheel locking.
• Custom RAL powder-coated finishes to align with campus aesthetics.
• British-made components engineered for longevity and low maintenance.

Installation & Delivery

Our team managed the full programme—from site survey and layout optimisation to final commissioning—coordinating with facilities management to minimise disruption and ensure a tidy, compliant installation.

Results & Impact

• More people cycling: Secure, convenient facilities encourage daily use by staff and visitors.
• Compact capacity: Two-tier design maximises storage within a constrained footprint.
• Visual uplift: Clean lines and colour-matched finishes enhance the business park environment.
• Sustainability: Supports active travel goals and wider ESG commitments.

Why It Matters

The Chelsea Two-Tier Cycle Shelter shows how user-centred engineering and design can drive modal shift: practical to use every day, easy to maintain, and built to last – making cycling a natural choice on site.
