CPD Courses for Architects & Specifiers
Design-led CPD courses for architects covering cycle storage, end-of-trip facilities and sustainable infrastructure
Delivering cycle storage and end-of-trip facilities is no longer a box-ticking exercise, it’s an essential part of creating sustainable, user-centred developments. Our CPD sessions are built to help architects, specifiers and project teams understand not just what to specify, but why design decisions matter at every stage of a scheme.
At The Bike Storage Company, we take a distinctly design-led approach to CPD. Every course draws directly from real installations, live project challenges, and the day-to-day considerations faced by architects, developers, contractors and estates teams. Rather than theory or generic guidance, we focus on the practical details that influence capacity, compliance, user experience and long-term performance.
As a fully Made-in-Britain manufacturer, we design and produce all our cycle shelters, racks, lockers and end-of-trip products here in the UK, giving us unparalleled insight into materials, fabrication processes, coatings, product selection and installation requirements. This hands-on expertise shapes our CPD content, ensuring everything we teach is grounded in real, workable solutions suitable for modern commercial and residential developments.
Our CPD courses are built for professionals operating across a wide range of sectors, including architecture, main contracting, local authorities, residential developments, commercial developments and mixed-use schemes. Each session equips attendees with the clarity needed to make confident, well-informed specification decisions that meet planning requirements, enhance sustainability performance and support a better rider experience across every type of site.
