Bike shells and lockers

About Bike Lockers and Bike Shells

Since bike thefts are increasingly on the rise, it is very important that you have a safe place in which to store your bike, whether it be for a few days, a few hours or even a few minutes. Bike lockers are made to hold either one or two bikes.

If you need to park your bike at a designated location of a frequent basis, you will probably be able to purchase a locker agreement with a standard issue padlock. The locker agreements are normally for a designated period of time such as six months. These types of agreements are usually available in light rail stations when a person needs to commute to work and ride to the rail or metro station rather than drive a vehicle.

Bike lockers may be composed of such materials as high quality plastic such as the durable fiberglass reinforced composite plastic.

Many of these bike lockers are constructed with walls that contain windows to enable the police at transit stations to see what is in the locker without hindering the security of the bike.

Many bike shells are now constructed to complement the most modern office buildings. These bike shells may be built in the most innovative shapes and designs in either neutral shades or multi-colored hues. Some of these bike shells even have molded-in seating planters and in-laid designs. In addition, there are many modern custom-made designs that can be created to blend in with the landscaping or decor of various office buildings.

The bike shells contain high-quality anti-theft devices with recessed indoor faces and internal locking bar systems. Other types of locking systems include pop out T-handle locks with keys. Many have stainless steel louvered vents on doors with door number plates to identify your locker or shell.

Another major advantage of bike shells is the protection they offer the bike from weather elements. The lockers themselves are weather resistant as well, as they will not rust or need painting. They are also resistant to U.V. damage as well.

These bike shells can be free-standing or organized in groups. These groups of bike shells are joined with panels constructed of heavy-duty anodized aluminum frames.

The bike shells may contain coin operated locks in which the rider can insert his coins and receive change, if necessary. Some bike shells contain durable stainless steel padlock handles that will allow for maximum security padlocks or master keyed locks.

The bike shells are ventilated so that heat and dampness can be adequately dissipated. Another weather-related advantage is that the shells are constructed so that water run off will occur.
