Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Take Delivery of Twelve Secure FalcoPod Bike Hangars

These are the latest secure bike hangars manufactured, supplied and installed by Falco for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. Spanning twelve sites for the Trust, Falco installed six Green Hangers and six Grey Hangers at sites including Slade House in Oxford, Marlborough House in Swinson and Whiteleaf Centre in Aylesbury.

The bike hangars were commissioned exclusively for NHS staff, with all twelve new lockers providing staff with up to 72 cycle parking spaces, all within a sheltered lockable unit with secure access.

The design of each bike hangar includes the trusts own logo, vibrant cycling graphics, instructional signage and powder coating in an attractive ‘White Aluminium or Moss Green’ RAL colour for additional durability.

Each bike hangar takes up no more room than a single car parking space and is capable of accommodating all types of cycles - from road and mountain bikes to bikes with a child seat on the back or storage basket on the front.

Falco design is both evolutionary and innovative by nature and the new FalcoPod is no exception. This is the third generation of ‘bike hangar’ type product building on the pedigree of the original street locker the ‘Midi Bike Box’ with some great new features over existing products as follows:

• Size - fits in half a car parking space and houses 6 bikes, with covered weather protection.

• Family inclusive – with an ergonomically improved design, the additional space/height (55% more) means there is no need to remove child seats or baskets from the back or front of bikes.

• Bike security - the six place FalcoSound bike rack has three locking points including the ability to use a ‘D’ lock through the rear wheel and frame.

• Easy access - single door with integral lock and gas strut for assisted lifting.

The FalcoPod bike hangar as shown here for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, is a simple and effective cycle parking facility designed to meet the needs of cyclists who don’t have access to private cycle parking facilities. Operating like a giant bread bin, each hangar is a secure and lockable unit capable of accommodating up to six bikes each. The innovative cycle parking solution is also available with an App enabled smart lock, enabling residents to access the unit with their smartphone, eliminating the needs for physical keys and fobs.
