Falco is the latest bike trade company to link up with the expanding Bike&Go bike hire scheme.
The firm is supplying parking facilities for Bike&Go across the Great Anglia and Northern Rail franchises. In the first tranche, 50 stations have been completed; Colchester, Southend Victoria, Manningtree, Romford, Blackpool North, Morecambe and Rotherham.
Bike&Go is available to any operator or commercial organisation that wishes to operate a fully integrated cycle hire programme with full back office support and a full package of cycle parking infrastructure. The cycle stands and shelters are available through Falco and are approved by the operator, Abellio.
The work involved manufacture and installation of our popular FalcoSail cycle shelter design, with branded vinyl graphics, branded Sheffield Stands, floor markings and signage. Falco were asked by the project managers to adapt their FalcoSail design which is already installed at over 130 stations on the Northern Rail network. The cycle shelter which now also includes LED lighting is available in 2, 3, 4 and 5m options for different sizes of scheme and additionally the shelter is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO1461 and powder coated in the special Bike&Go scheme colours.
