What are the benefits to having cycle racks within your school or college site?
This article is here to help you understand what types of benefits that you and your staff, parents and pupils attending will get just by having these simple structures in place within your facility.
So let's get started.
With all the talk of getting healthy and improving the quality of the air by reducing cars on the road, statistics have shown from market research that parents and children would like to cycle to school more but do not have the facilities they need.
Some schools and colleges still do not offer a safe and secure place for these people to leave their bikes while they are at school so then they opt for travelling to school in the car or on public transport. There are also a growing number of taxis now travelling to and from schools which is, again, not the best way to get healthy and in my experience; a little dangerous as they tend to park or reverse in the school driveways where pupils and adults are walking past.
To solve these growing problems or issues, why not think about having a cycle rack installed at your school site to encourage cycling more.
There are many benefits to having them installed, so let me tell you a few of them right now!
One of the best features is that they encourage children to cycle more often to school.
A safety benefit is that the bikes will be stored properly and avoid any accidents such as falling over bikes on the ground.
They benefit the parents and carers who are collecting children at the end of the day as an under cover waiting area.
They are very robust and made from steel construction which is built to last many years.
These are just some of the main benefits of cycle racks.
You will no doubt be very pleased with your decision to have one installed so why not go ahead and make that phone call about getting a quality cycle rack installed at your site.
