Looking for Compact Bike Storage Solutions?
In the UK, every new residential or commercial office building requires a certain number of bike spaces per person. However, it’s not always easy to find the right fit, especially in high-density areas.
If your development is limited on space, here are some efficient ways to incorporate high-density bike racks in even the tightest places. Whether you’re an architect, property developer or facilities manager, we’ve got you covered with space-saving, compact bike storage options that are attractive and built to last while catering to the growing cycling community.
Want more tips? Here are some benefits of providing compact bike storage for employees.
Upright Cycle Storage
To save space, consider going vertical. Vertical Bike Racks can be wall-mounted, storing bikes upright and freeing up valuable floor space. Our Premium Vertical Bike Rack is functional and stylish, offering a secure way to store multiple bikes – an excellent option for private indoor spaces like office basements or residential blocks. Some might even call it wall art.
Designed for the indoors, they provide extra protection from theft and vandalism in busy urban areas.
If you have supplementary floor space, try our specialised Premium Free Standing Vertical Bike Racks – these vertical racks can be installed back-to-back on the ground (with no wall fittings required) for efficient space planning and compact storage.
Both options can be customised to suit your project design.
Semi Vertical Cycle Racks
What’s the difference between vertical and Semi Vertical Cycle Racks, you might ask? Our Semi Vertical Cycle Racks store bikes at a 45-degree angle, making them easier to load and unload, while still being space-saving. Semi vertical bike racks work well in low-ceiling areas and can be extended over time to meet cycling demand.
If you have a flexible layout, this could be a robust, user-friendly option. You may also like our sleek Semi Vertical E-Bike Rack, equipped with charging sockets – perfect for future proofing your underground car park or basement.

Make the best use of space
Another great way to maximise space is by repurposing areas that might not be used to their full potential. For example, large car parks often remain half-empty for most of the year. Instead, free up some space and invest in a high-quality bike shelter. Our Semi Vertical Amazon Eco Cycle Shelter protects from the weather, while keeping storage compact and space efficient. It comes in custom sizes with a durable steel frame and multiple gate locking options.
Made from FSC-certified timber, this is a great choice if you’re looking for something sustainable and modern that blends in with the environment.
Ensuring usability and security
When choosing bike storage, it’s essential to maximise space without sacrificing user comfort and security. All of our bike racks and shelters are user-friendly and come with high-quality locking options for maximum protection (from padlocks, steel locking hoops to digital FOB access).
Our compact bike storage solutions are designed with accessibility in mind, with the option to add weather-proof lighting to ensure high visibility at night. You can even invite more nature into your development with biodiverse add-ons like a sedum roof.
Our vertical and semi-vertical bike racks come in staggered heights to ensure accessibility. You can add lower locking points to the racks and choose various colour options to complement your site’s designs.
