VelopA Cycle Parking

BSFG is proud to partner with VelopA, a leading Dutch specialist in cycle parking, cycling infrastructure and the design of high-quality outdoor spaces. VelopA creates practical, innovative solutions that make cycling easier, safer and more convenient, helping organisations and communities support the transition towards more sustainable forms of travel.

Smarter Cycle Parking for Modern Spaces

Effective cycle parking is an essential part of encouraging more people to travel by bike. VelopA develops solutions designed around the practical needs of cyclists, while helping site owners make the most efficient use of their available space.

The VelopA collection includes cycle stands, high-capacity two-tier cycle racks, cycle shelters, secure cycle storage and complete cycle parking facilities. Products can be used individually or combined to create larger, integrated cycling hubs tailored to the needs of a particular site.

From a small workplace installation to a major railway station or transport interchange, VelopA provides flexible infrastructure designed to support cycling at every scale.

High-Capacity Two-Tier Cycle Parking

Where space is limited and demand for cycle parking is high, two-tier systems can provide an effective solution. By storing bicycles across two levels, these systems can significantly increase parking capacity without increasing the overall footprint.

VelopA offers different high-capacity solutions to suit the requirements of individual projects. The Easylift Premium Two-Tier Cycle Rack focuses on ease of use, incorporating a gas-assisted lifting system to reduce the effort required to raise a bicycle to the upper tier. Its smooth glide action and controlled descent help make high-density cycle parking more practical for everyday users.

For projects where security is an additional priority, the CapaCity Two-Tier Cycle Rack combines high-density cycle parking with Sold Secure Silver certification. Its innovative two-tier configuration is designed to maximise capacity while maintaining accessibility, making it particularly suitable for busy locations where both space efficiency and cycle security are important.

Together, the Easylift Premium and CapaCity provide flexible options for creating efficient, high-capacity cycle parking across transport hubs, workplaces, residential developments, universities and dedicated cycle hubs.

Easylift Premium: Designed Around the User

The success of cycle parking depends on more than simply providing enough spaces. If facilities are difficult to use, inconvenient or poorly designed, they can discourage people from cycling.

The Easylift Premium places user experience at the centre of its design. Its gas-assisted lifting mechanism helps reduce the effort required to load a bicycle onto the upper tier, while the integrated damping system provides a smooth and controlled descent when removing the bike.

The system can be configured in single or double-sided layouts and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its modular design also allows installations to be adapted to suit the available space and required capacity.

The Easylift Premium has been used extensively across Europe and the UK, including at railway stations and other high-demand locations. At Southampton Central Station, BSFG installed the system as part of an upgrade to replace cycle parking that had become unsafe and impractical for users.

CapaCity: High Capacity with Sold Secure Silver Protection

The CapaCity Two-Tier Cycle Rack has been developed for locations where maximising cycle parking capacity and providing additional reassurance around security are equally important.

Its two-tier design enables more bicycles to be accommodated within a limited footprint, making it suitable for high-density cycle parking in transport environments, workplaces, residential developments and education campuses.

Importantly, the CapaCity is Sold Secure Silver rated, providing independently tested security credentials for the cycle parking system. Manufactured from robust steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, it is designed to deliver durable, long-term performance in demanding outdoor environments.

The combination of high capacity, accessibility and Sold Secure Silver accreditation makes CapaCity a strong option for projects where secure, space-efficient cycle parking is a key requirement.

Cycle Shelters and Secure Storage

VelopA provides a range of cycle shelters and covered storage solutions designed to protect bicycles and users from the elements.

Cycle shelters can be combined with cycle stands and high-capacity two-tier racks to create dedicated parking areas that are practical, attractive and easy to maintain. Depending on the project, facilities can also incorporate lighting, access control, charging points and other supporting features.

These solutions are particularly valuable for workplaces, residential developments, transport facilities, education campuses and other locations where secure, long-term cycle storage is required.

Complete Cycle Hubs

VelopA's experience extends beyond individual cycle stands and racks to the development of complete cycle parking facilities.

A well-designed cycle hub can combine high-capacity parking with weather protection, secure access, lighting, repair and maintenance facilities, pumps and other supporting infrastructure.

By bringing these elements together, BSFG and VelopA can help create cycling facilities that provide a better overall experience for users and support long-term active travel objectives.

Two-tier systems such as Easylift Premium and CapaCity can play an important role within these facilities, helping maximise the number of bicycles that can be accommodated while responding to different priorities around accessibility and security.

Supporting Active Travel

High-quality cycle parking plays an important role in supporting active travel and reducing reliance on private vehicles. Convenient, secure and accessible facilities can make cycling a more realistic option for commuting, leisure journeys and everyday travel.

VelopA solutions are suitable for railway stations, transport interchanges, workplaces, residential developments, schools, universities and public spaces where there is growing demand for practical cycling infrastructure.

Whether a project requires a small number of cycle spaces or a large-scale high-capacity facility, VelopA provides solutions designed to support future growth in cycling.

Quality, Security and Long-Term Value

Cycle parking infrastructure is often installed in high-use environments and must withstand frequent operation and exposure to demanding weather conditions.

VelopA focuses on high-quality materials, robust engineering and long-term performance to create products designed for extended service lives.

Security is also an important consideration. While the Easylift Premium provides multiple locking points and user-friendly high-capacity parking, the CapaCity provides the additional reassurance of its Sold Secure Silver rating.

This range of options allows specifiers to select cycle parking systems based on the specific balance of capacity, usability and security required for each project.

Sustainable and Circular Design

Sustainability is an important part of VelopA's approach to the design and manufacture of products for the outdoor environment.

The company focuses on durable, high-quality materials and aims to support a more circular approach to manufacturing, with the ambition for products and materials to remain reusable at the end of their service life.

By combining long product lifespans with responsible use of materials and resources, VelopA aims to contribute to more sustainable outdoor environments and mobility infrastructure.

VelopA and the CROWD Group

VelopA is part of the wider CROWD Group, an international group of specialist companies working across public realm, cycling, mobility and outdoor environments.

Alongside BSFG and other specialist businesses, VelopA contributes expertise in cycling infrastructure and sustainable mobility.

This shared network of knowledge and manufacturing expertise provides opportunities to bring together complementary products and specialist solutions for complex outdoor projects.
