Barnsley Interchange Champions Sustainable Travel with New Falco Cycle Parking

This April, Falco manufactured, supplied and installed a new cycle parking scheme at Barnsley Interchange, the main transport hub serving the centre of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Commissioned by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, the project is part of a broader initiative to promote active travel and enhance sustainable transport infrastructure across the borough.

As part of the installation, Falco supplied and installed 42 two-tier cycle parking spaces using the innovative FalcoLevel-Premium+ cycle parking system, along with three Sheffield stands to provide six additional spaces designed specifically for non-standard or cargo bikes. The FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier rack is engineered for maximum space efficiency and user-friendliness, making it an ideal solution for high-traffic areas such as transport interchanges, where both capacity and convenience are essential. Meanwhile, the inclusion of Sheffield stands ensures the facility caters to a diverse range of cyclists, supporting inclusivity for those using larger or adapted bikes.

The completed installation has significantly enhanced the cycle parking capacity at Barnsley Interchange, offering secure and easy-to-use facilities for commuters and visitors alike. By delivering a durable, low-maintenance solution tailored to the demands of a busy public environment, Falco supported the Council towards another important step of encouraging greener travel choices and reducing reliance on private car use.

As with thousands of cycle parking schemes installed by Falco across the UK, the scheme here at Barnsley Interchange makes use of the tried and tested FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle parking system, designed to accommodate twice as many cycles within the same space restraints or any traditional cycle rack or stand. Moving forwards, the two-tier cycle racks are designed to be maintenance free to provide minimal cost of ownership to the Council. Additionally, should there be any unforeseen damage, the modular nature of each structure means that replacing any damaged items is simple and easy to undertake.
