A School Bike Shelter for High-Capacity Cycle Parking
The Cambridge Junior is a compact, modular school bike shelter developed to provide efficient covered cycle parking for education sites. Designed as a smaller version of the Cambridge Cycle Shelter, it retains the robust construction and practical layout of the wider range while offering proportions better suited to junior and school environments.
With the ability to accommodate up to 24 cycles under a single unit, it is well suited to schools looking to expand cycle provision without moving to larger bespoke structures.
Junior Cycle Shelter with Dual-Access Layout
A key advantage of the Cambridge Junior is its accessibility from both sides of the shelter. This dual-access arrangement supports smoother user flow at busy times, particularly at school drop-off and collection periods when cycle parking areas can become congested.
Layout and access benefits include:
• Accessible from both sides of the shelter
• Suitable for higher-use school environments
• Supports quicker parking and retrieval at peak times
• Practical for shared pupil cycle storage areas
This makes it a strong junior cycle shelter option for schools prioritising ease of use as well as capacity.
Cycle Shelter for Schools with Up to 24 Cycle Capacity
With the option of single or double runs of cycle racks beneath the shelter, the Cambridge Junior can accommodate up to 24 cycles under one 5000mm unit. This gives schools a practical way to deliver meaningful cycle parking capacity from a standard modular format.
Capacity guidance:
• 5000mm unit – up to 24 cycles
The shelter can also be linked in multiple banks to increase storage capacity across larger school sites, making it suitable for both smaller schools and expanding campuses.
Bike Shelter for Schools with Modular Expansion Potential
The Cambridge Junior is modular in design and can be linked to form banks of shelters, enabling projects to scale capacity over time. This is particularly useful for schools introducing or expanding active travel initiatives in phases.
Modular advantages include:
• Multiple banks available to increase storage capacity
• Units can be linked for larger cycle parking areas
• Suitable for phased school site development
• Consistent appearance across extended installations
As a cycle shelter for schools, this flexibility supports long-term planning and future growth in pupil cycling numbers.
Robust Steel Construction for Daily School Use
The shelter is built for repeated use in busy education environments, using heavy-duty circular uprights and box section purlins and trimmers assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts. Anti-climb end frames and submerged baseplates further support a secure, durable installation.
Construction highlights include:
• Robust modular construction featuring load bearing purlins and glazed bar cycle
• Heavy-duty circular uprights
• Box section purlins and trimmers
• Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly
• Anti-climb end frames
• Submerged baseplates
• Hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461
This specification makes the Cambridge Junior a dependable school cycle shelter for long-term external use.
Roof Cladding and Specification Options
The standard roof cladding is 4mm Clear View PETg UV, with a 5mm option available (£POA). Additional roof and finish choices are available to suit site-specific visual, operational and budget requirements.
Options include:
• Trapezoidal roof cladding
• Opal roof cladding
• Surface mounted baseplates
• Powder coating to a wide range of colours
• LED or solar lighting
• Multiple ‘banks’ to increase storage capacity
• Full installation service
• Varied range of cycle racks
• Varied range of cycle stands
This allows specifiers to tailor the shelter to different school settings, from primary campuses to larger secondary or college environments.
