Standing Bike Racks

Bike racks are available in many different sizes. From a rack which is designed to store just one bike, to a rack made to store up to eight or ten bikes, you’ll be able to find something as small or large as you need. If you intend to buy more bikes in the future, consider whether you want to upgrade the bike rack then or now.

An important point for anyone buying bike storage to consider, you should think about the number of bikes you have. They might not all belong to you personally, as you might be purchasing the stand for you and others to use. If you’re purchasing it for a business or office situation, gather feedback from staff about how many of them cycle to work and how useful they think a bike rack would be. If nobody is likely to use it, you might need to reconsider the size and budget you have set aside.

The most common material used for this item of furniture is metal. Metal is a sturdy and robust material that is easy to look after and can withstand bad weather. Metal is ideal if you intend to keep your bikes stored outside or in a damp or cold environment such as a garage. Another common material which you will find is wood. Wood is often unfinished, and thick and sturdy enough to hold the weight of your bikes. You should consider wooden bike racks if you intend to keep your bikes stored indoors since wood is much less resistant than metal when kept outside.

When buying any furniture, particularly if you are investing a large amount of money in it, you should consider any aftercare and potential problems you may have with it. Bike racks are simple items that do not necessarily require much care after you’ve bought them.

Standing metal bike racks can be easily cared for with a few simple measures. Set yourself a reminder to check on the bikes and the bike rack every month or so. If you have time, take the bikes off the rack and damp dust the bike rack. If you don’t manage to do this every month, you should attempt to clean your bike rack at least every three months.
