Park-a-Bike is changing the way Architects think about bike parking.  We’re on a mission to create more than ornamental pieces of metal that we lean our bikes against. We build racks that are not only innovative in design, but also create value to the end user…..the cyclist.

At Park-a-Bike, we are adding technology at every turn.

 

From the product side, Innovate is our belief! We refuse to produce products that were designed 20 years ago. We need to continue to move this industry forward. Park-a-Bike will do just that.  We are transforming from bike racks to bike docks. We are meeting all bicycle parking guidelines. We use laser cutting in order to customize designs for Architects in half the time as our competitors. Park-a-Bike has over 25 years experience as we value engineering, and manufacture the country's finest bike parking solutions.

 

 

From the documentation side, we offer downloadable files, including Specification Sheets, CAD Files, Solid Works Renderings, and 3D Files. We also offer CSI formatted product descriptions.

 

To help with purchasing, we offer our Personal Planner to help identify your needs. Just fill it out…We offer online price books to help with estimates.

 

Did we mention we love the power of the video? Downloadable installation videos can be played on smart phones. The animation gives great advocacy presentations. And if you can’t find the tool you need, just call and ask!

 

Park-A-Bike is a Smart Rack and Smart Solutions company. We believe that racks can be more - they can educate, they can protect our investment, and more importantly, they can work. People are seeing the difference, they understand that a bike parking solution should have more purpose, and we have built just that. 

Meets APBP Guidelines: Racks fully adhere to the guidelines for bike parking as written by the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals.

 

Bike Friendly Containment: The rack captures the bikes tires in a well or cradle in such a way so that there is no wheel bending, yet the bike is secured enough to not slide or slip from its upright position.

 

Simple & Intuitive: Simple and intuitive racks exhibit few options for a cyclist to lock their bike. They offer minimal parking methods (front and back only) and minimize the possibility of securing a bike in an incorrect way that will cause unorganized or non-secure bike parking.

 

Security: The rack should be equipped with a feature (such as an arm or wing) to allow the bicycle to be locked to the rack with an external lock and a closed part of the bicycle frame, as well as offer the ability to lock the wheel, frame, and rack in unison.

 

Density: How well the rack contains and organizes large numbers of bikes in different configurations and locations while still keeping parking organized to allow cyclists sufficient access to their bikes.

 

Cost Per Bike: The approximate dollar amount an individual rack will cost in respect to how many bikes it will hold.

 

Cost Per Bike+Shipping: The approximate dollar amount an individual rack will cost in respect to how many bikes it will hold plus the cost of freight. Because different racks weigh more or less, and ship to and from different locations, the cost of freight varies and therefore can make a total purchase price more or less expensive than just averaging the cost per bike.
