Several factors need to be taken into account to ensure optimal, practical use. Here are the main criteria to consider:

1. Accessibility and proximity

The shelter should be located close to busy areas such as offices, schools, shops or public transport. An easily accessible location will encourage more people to use their bikes.

2. Visibility and safety

A prominent, well-lit and well-frequented location will reduce the risk of theft or vandalism. Avoid isolated or dark areas. Proximity to existing surveillance cameras is an asset.

3. Flat, stable surface

The shelter should be installed on a flat, stable surface, preferably concrete or cobblestones, to avoid subsidence or deformation. A slight slope can facilitate drainage of rainwater.

4. Sufficient space

Bring a sufficient space around the shelter to allow easy circulation of bicycles and pedestrians. A clearance of at least 1 meter is recommended.

5. Weather protection

Choose a location that is partially sheltered from wind, rain and snow, for better bike protection. A shelter near a building or under an awning may be suitable.

6. Landscape integration

Wherever possible, select a location where the shelter will blend harmoniously into the existing environment, without obstructing views or important passages.

7. Local regulations

Make sure you comply with local planning regulations before installing a bicycle shelter, particularly with regard to distances from public roads or neighboring properties.

Timeframe for installing an enclosed bike shelter

It is necessary to allow time for 4 to 6 weeks for the installation of a closed bike shelter, assuming that the bike shelter is ordered to standard stock dimensions.

Deadline for a non-stored or modified bike shelter

For a bike shelter that has not been stored or modified since it was first installed, you will need to calculate 6 to 8 weeks.

Delivery times for custom-made bike shelters

If the bike shelter is characterized by specific dimensions that are not part of the production standard, the intervention of the design office, validation and custom manufacturing in our workshops are essential. ByCommute increase lead times 10 to 14 weeks.

Secure bike shelters come in a variety of types, each offering specific features to meet the diverse needs of users. Here's an overview of the main types of bike shelters:

Individual shelters

These shelters are designed to house one bike at a time. They often take the form of lockable boxes or cabins, offering maximum protection against theft and the elements. They are particularly suited to private residences or small spaces.

Collective shelters

At ByCommute, we're specialists in this type of shelter. These shelters are designed to accommodate several bikes simultaneously. They can vary in size, from small shelters for a few bikes to large structures that can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of bikes. They are often used in public spaces, businesses and schools. ByCommute offers collective shelters such as the Maritime shelter in recycled container, combining robustness and respect for the environment, and the Bosquet shelter in Thermowood wood for harmonious integration into natural spaces.
