Optima V10 cycle racks installed in a block of flats in Gradignan
- 12 spaces on Optima V10
- 6 upper spaces
- 6 lower spaces
In Gradignan (Gironde), a block of flats has chosen to fit out its communal areas with Optima V10 double-deck cycle racks. This installation, with 12 bicycle spaces, provides residents with a secure, convenient and space-saving parking facility, whilst making the best use of the available space.
More and more apartment blocks are now providing dedicated spaces for bicycle parking in order to cater for residents’ changing habits and support the growth of active travel.
With this project, the block of flats is improving residents’ comfort whilst enhancing its communal facilities.
Optima V10: a double-tier bike rack to save space
The Optima V10 bike rack is designed to increase bike capacity whilst minimising the floor space it takes up. Its double-deck system doubles the number of available spaces, making it an ideal solution where space is limited.
The varying heights of the mounting points prevent the handlebars from knocking against each other and improve user comfort. Contact with the bike is limited to the tyres, thus protecting the frames and forks from scratches.
Thanks to its telescopic rail and gas spring-assisted lifting mechanism, handling the bike is simple and smooth, even for everyday use.
This designoptimises parking whilst ensuring easy access to every space, including those on the upper level.
Secure and sustainable cycle parking
Each parking space is fitted with an integrated security bracket, allowing the frame and one wheel to be secured with a U-lock. This three-point security system provides excellent protection against theft whilst giving users peace of mind in their day-to-day lives.
Made from galvanised steel, the Optima V10 cycle rack is designed to withstand heavy use and outdoor conditions, whilst maintaining its performance over time. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, it provides a reliable solution for cycle parking facilities in blocks of flats, local authorities and businesses.
Its modular and scalable design also allows it to adapt to future needs: the ground-level spaces can be installed initially, then supplemented at a later date with upper-level spaces, without affecting the existing layout. A flexible solution that facilitates the gradual expansion of cycle parking capacity.
A solution designed for block of flats… and much more besides
The growing popularity of cycling for everyday journeys is prompting many blocks of flats to create or upgrade their cycle parking facilities. As well as meeting residents’ needs, these developments help to enhance the appeal of the estate and anticipate changes in usage patterns and regulations.
Thanks to their compact design, ease of use and scalable design, these cycle racks are the ideal solution for setting up a cycle parking facility in a block of flats, even where space is limited. Their double-deck system maximises parking capacity by increasing the number of available spaces without taking up any extra floor space, whilst ensuring convenient, comfortable and secure parking.
This solution is also suitable for local authorities, businesses, schools, railway stations, transport hubs and commercial buildings wishing to develop an effective cycle parking scheme.
