Secured by Design (SBD) is pleased to welcome The Bike Storage Company as a new member, recognising its commitment to delivering secure and independently accredited cycle storage solutions for commercial and public sector environments across the UK and Ireland.
Based in West London, The Bike Storage Company is a specialist manufacturer of commercial cycle storage and street furniture products, with more than 15 years of industry experience.
Its portfolio of projects includes major developments and organisations such as The Shard, Battersea Power Station, Transport for London and McLaren HQ.
Secure storage solutions
The company designs and manufactures a range of secure cycle storage solutions in Britain, working closely with architects, specifiers and contractors to provide practical and future-focused products for residential, commercial, education and public sector developments.
Several products within The Bike Storage Company’s range have achieved Police Preferred Specification from Secured by Design, reflecting their ability to meet rigorous independent security testing standards.
Accredited products include the Semi Vertical Bike Rack, Two Tier Cycle Rack, Gas-Assisted Two Tier Cycle Rack and the Impregnable Cycle Shelter.
Designed for environments where security is a key consideration, the accredited racks incorporate features such as heavy-duty welded locking hoops, tamper-resistant fixtures and fittings, and secure frame and wheel locking points.
Their space-efficient designs also help maximise cycle parking capacity in constrained areas, making them suitable for locations including residential developments, commercial offices, schools, transport hubs and secure cycle rooms.
Sold Secure Gold
The Impregnable Cycle Shelter has achieved Sold Secure Gold accreditation, the highest independently verified security rating available for cycle shelters in the UK.
Constructed using an 80 mm SHS steel frame with 358 high-security mesh and high-security fixings throughout, the shelter is engineered to resist determined attack while also offering an architectural finish through the use of FSC-certified timber cladding.
Alongside security performance, The Bike Storage Company places a strong emphasis on sustainability and long-term durability.
Long service life
As part of the Made in Britain campaign, all accredited products are designed and fabricated in Britain, with a focus on maintenance-free performance and long service life.
By joining Secured by Design, The Bike Storage Company further demonstrates its commitment to helping create safer and more secure environments through high-quality, accredited cycle storage solutions.
Alastair Worlidge, Director, The Bike Storage Company, said: “For the architects and specifiers we work with, accreditation matters.
“Secured by Design’s Police Preferred Specification gives them the confidence to specify our products knowing they meet a rigorous, independently verified standard.”
Lyn Poole, Secured by Design, commented: “I am very pleased to welcome The Bike Storage Company on board as SBD members with their tested and certificated products.
“Bike theft nationally is still a problem for so many people. Whether a new or older bike, there is a cost to replacing them when stolen and, after becoming victims of crime, some people are put off from cycling altogether. With these products, cyclists can keep their bikes safe while they aren’t with them.”
