Secure Cycle Hub for Transport and Urban Settings
Designed as a secure cycle hub, the Stirling provides a controlled environment that protects bicycles from weather, theft, and vandalism. The fully enclosed form supports safe, organised storage while maintaining a contemporary appearance appropriate for prominent public locations.
Common use cases include:
• Railway stations and transport interchanges
• City centre mobility hubs
• Workplace and campus cycle facilities
• Residential developments requiring secure communal storage
As a bike hub shelter, it supports modal shift initiatives and encourages long-term cycle use by offering dependable, well-designed infrastructure.
Enclosed Structure with Clear Visibility
The shelter is fully clad with 9.5mm laminated glass panels, complete with vinyl manifestations to support safety and visual compliance in public spaces. This approach maintains clear sightlines into and out of the hub, improving passive surveillance and user confidence.
Key enclosure features include:
• Laminated glass panelling for strength and durability
• Vinyl manifestations to enhance visibility and safety
• Transparent walls that deter misuse while retaining openness
This combination delivers secure cycle parking without creating a visually heavy structure.
Roof Design and Weather Protection
A duo-pitched polycarbonate roof provides effective protection from rain and debris while allowing natural light to penetrate the interior. This reduces reliance on artificial lighting during daylight hours and improves the overall user experience within the cycle hub shelter.
The roof form also supports efficient water run-off, helping maintain clear access points around the hub.
Capacity and Internal Layout
The Stirling cycle hub can be configured to accommodate a range of cycle quantities, with the original ScotRail installation providing space for 32 bicycles. Internal layouts can be adapted to suit site-specific requirements and compatible cycle racks.
Often specified alongside Broxap’s range of cycle racks and access control systems, the shelter can form part of a fully integrated secure cycle parking solution.
Specification and Installation Considerations
The shelter is intended for permanent installation within high-use public environments. Its robust construction and enclosed form make it suitable for both attended and unattended locations. Broxap can support early-stage layout planning to ensure the hub integrates effectively with surrounding pedestrian routes and public realm elements.
A Practical, Secure Cycle Hub Solution
The Stirling cycle hub shelter delivers a considered balance of security, transparency, and capacity. Developed from real-world transport requirements, it provides a reliable solution for organisations seeking to invest in long-lasting, high-quality cycle infrastructure that supports sustainable travel objectives.
