Bicycle Parking at Work: Support Sustainable Transportation and Enhance Your Image

Between environmental concerns and public health recommendations, cycling has never been more popular. Supporting green mobility for commutes or business travel is now part of companies’ objectives. Polymobyl, a designerof professional bike shelters, supports your development projects. Whether it’s usage patterns, types of bikes, capacity, or security levels, we design your on-site bike parking area.

Why Set Up a Bike Parking Area at Work?

This facility serves a dual purpose: to accommodate employees and visitors, and to provide parking for the fleet used for business travel.

For Your Employees

A growing number of employees are choosing to bike—whether on a traditional bike, an electric bike, or a cargo bike—to get to work. As a result, they need a secure, covered, and convenient parking area where they can leave their bikes with confidence throughout the day. Inadequate parking facilities often act as a barrier to the adoption of sustainable transportation.

For your bike fleet

More and more employers are providing their employees with bicycles (either standard or electric) for business travel. This in-house fleet requires a dedicated, secure parking area equipped with charging stations as needed.

For your visitors

Even if your operations do not require you to set up a secure bike parking area on company grounds, providing a few spaces for bicycles at the site entrance enhances your image and makes it easier to accommodate cyclists.

How can I qualify for the Pro-Bike Employer certification?

Sponsored by the FUB, the French Federation of Bicycle Users, this certification recognizes business leaders who encourage their teams to ride bicycles.

The certification is now available directly to all organizations, regardless of their size or industry. It is based on five main themes, including facilities and safety—two areas directly relatedto bicycle parking at work.

Polymobyl helps companies define their projects with a view to obtaining FUB certification. Please feel free to request a customized assessment and a quote.

What solutions do we offer for bicycle parking in the workplace?

Polymobyl designs four main linesof bike shelters for businesses. These are designed to accommodate cargo bikes and e-bikes.

Open bike shelter

The 25° & Cie line of carports features a modular aluminum structure, available in sizes ranging from 6 to 20 spaces and beyond (custom-made). They are offered with a variety of partition options: wood, aluminum, wood-grain aluminum, Plexiglas, living walls, and more. This solution is ideal for creating a covered, open-access parking area for both employees and visitors. All our shelters can be customized with your company’s colors.

Secure bike shelter

This unit features the same modular design as the previous model, but with a sliding door. We offer several security options: key lock, digital keypad, or RFID badge. The 25° & Cie secure bike shelter protects bicycles from vandalism and inclement weather. It is particularly recommended for parking corporate bicycle fleets or at sites where security is a priority.

XXL Secure Bike Shelter

Thanks to its extra-large size, this facility is designed for high-capacity sites. It can feature a mixed-use design, incorporating an open area for visitors and a secure space for employees. These shelters can also be attached to a smoking area, a break room, or a lunch area.

Individual bike storage unit

The Cycle’Sur line’s individual, lockable bike shelter is an ultra-secure solution. Each employee has their own lockable storage unit to park their bike and store their helmet and personal belongings. It’s the ideal solution for e-bikes or high-value bicycles. Plus, this shelter is modular and can be moved without any civil engineering work.

What accessories should you include in your company bike shelters?

A professional bike parking facility offers more than just shelter. The interior features play a key role in users’ comfort and safety.

Bike racks

Polymobyl offers four product lines:

The PUR bike rack consists of a pre-galvanized, powder-coated steel arch that can be anchored to the ground or mounted on base plates. This compact and sturdy model is ideal for organizing bike parking inside a shelter or outdoors.
The CUB model is an arch with a wooden insert for a more natural look. Anchored in the ground, this bollard is suitable for environments where aesthetics are a priority.
The LUD line offers a multifunction station available in versions for tire inflation, tire repair, or e-bike charging. It is particularly well-suited for corporate fleets and sites that want to offer a comprehensive service to their employees.
The NUT arch, made of steel with a natural finish, blends seamlessly into wood-dominated environments or green spaces.

Parking Racks

We design three types of products:

LUD 3-bike rack for standard bicycles;
scooter rack;
Cargo bike rack.
and available in a variety of colors or customizable upon request.

These compact solutions help organize parking, optimize capacity, and minimize the amount of floor space used.

Accessories for bike sheds

Providing bike parking at your workplace is a great way to encourage sustainable mobility. But to take it a step further, you should equip your bike shelters to meet users’ needs. With this in mind, Polymobyl can add the accessories of your choice to the bike lockers and shelters in its various product lines: shelves for helmets and gloves, self-powered LED lighting powered by solar panels, built-in gutters, and more…

Why choose Polymobyl to design your bike parking facility?

As specialists in urban and community planning in France, we work to create fully equipped spaces or improve existing parking facilities. We’re more than just a supplier—we’re your partner in your projects.

Every company that contacts us receives personalized support from a single point of contact:

Preliminary site audit to assess available space, technical constraints (soil type, access, exposure), user traffic, and actual usage patterns. We design the solution based on this site visit.
Considerations regarding usage: How many employees commute by bike? Is there an in-house bike fleet? What types of bikes will be parked there: standard, cargo, or e-bikes? Does the site welcome visitors on two wheels? The answers to these questions will help determine the appropriate capacity, security level, and additional equipment needed. Will the bike shelter be permanent or temporary? Our easily transportable frame-based bike shelters can be a solution for non-permanent sites.
Customizable solutions: All of our shelters are painted in the RAL colors of your choice. The partitions are fully customizable, and we can incorporate your company logo using laser cutting. The dimensions of the area, the shelter, and the racks are also tailored to the site’s layout and your specific needs.

Setting up a bike parking area at your company is a practical way to encourage sustainable transportation, reduce the carbon footprint of commutes, and project the image of a responsible employer. To receive personalized support, request an audit and a quote from Polymobyl.
