In recent years, the trend in bicycle racks has moved towards wave racks. The distinctive modern look of wave bicycle racks is fast becoming a standard at malls, parks, city plaza and in front of retail or restaurant establishments. These wave racks are so beautiful; some may confuse them with modern art. In addition to distinctive styling, wave racks offer better utility than grid racks. The trends in bicycles have changed, necessitating changes in bicycle racks. The days of the typical Schwinn 10-speed bicycle dominating the market are over.

Today, bicycles come in all shapes and sizes: from wheel releasing, thin tire racing bicycles; to knobby tire mountain bicycles; to fat tire beach cruisers and more. Each of these styles has different wheel heights and widths. Some are intended to have the wheels removed when locked to a bicycle rack. Wave bicycle racks effectively accommodate all sizes and shapes of bicycles because they are designed so that the bicycle frames are locked to the rack, whereas grid bicycle racks are designed so that bicycle tire fits into the grid.

There are two main variations of wave bicycle racks, those with traditional round tubing, and those with square tubing. Those bicycle racks made with square tubing add an extra element of security to bicycle parking because those racks cannot be cut with a plumber’s pipe cutter.

U Style Bicycle Racks are typically made of strong galvanized steel tubing, and then coated with thermoplastic to prevent rust and scratches. They offer all the functionality of wave bicycle racks including accommodating all styles and sizes of bicycles and the ability for secure bicycle frames with any kind of bicycle lock, including the U style bicycle lock. They look great mounted in rows, or in clusters. These types of bicycle racks are becoming the standard at many large universities. For example: did you know that the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has over 10,000 U Style bicycle racks on its campus?

Bollard Style Bicycle Racks can offer a fun and colorful alternative to standard bicycle parking solutions, while also serving as pedestrian vehicle deterrents. These striking bicycle racks are designed to keep your bicycle looking just as beautiful as the rack itself. The smooth, whimsical design will not damage bicycles; and the heavy-duty exterior will keep the bicycles in place—creating the perfect blend of security and attractiveness. Also, these bicycle racks are finished in the finest material, allowing them to retain their beauty year after year.

Like grid racks, Low Profile Bicycle Stands hold the bicycle in place by the front tire. Some of these styles do not accommodate U shaped bicycle locks, so locking the bicycle by the frame is difficult. These stands are ideal where many bicycle are shared and security of the bicycles of less concern. Essentially, the main goal of these bicycle racks is to keep bicycles upright, rather than keeping them secure. These racks are great for Resorts, Camps, Military Bases and Country Clubs.

When outdoor space for bicycle racks is limited, or it is reserved for customers/visitors, wall mounted bicycle racks can present an effective alternative to outdoor bicycle parking. These racks can be mounted on a warehouse wall, factory wall, apartment building wall, in a garage or nearly any other wall strong enough to support the weight. These racks are great on their own, or place them in groups to accommodate many bicycles in a confined area.

The “double-decker” configuration multiplies the bicycle rack capacity by two in any given space. These units are free-standing with deep wheel trays that guide bicycles into the rack and allow locking with a cable lock, and vertical wheel trays that keep the bicycles upright. Though many bicycles will fit into this commercial rack, none are out of reach or blocked in by other bicycles. These racks are ideal for indoor bicycle parking at factories, warehouses, apartment buildings and for overnight storage at resorts, camps and military bases.

Art inspired bicycle racks capture the charm and aesthetic values that sets a distinctive property apart from the competition.
