Sometimes, you enjoy a place best when you are exploring it on a bicycle. The no hurry, no traffic, no pollution, no parking meter facility of bikes makes it all the more appealing. Whether to roam around a city or to just go for a workout, bicycles have always been an important aspect of our lives. Bike racks, though should be placed in a visible area should also have enough space around it for parking and for easy passage for people.
Though it may come without the fuss of a parking meter, parking a bike is still essential and without a proper parking lot or lock, you can say adios to your beloved peddles. Over the years, bicycle racks have seen many changes. From ting and locking it to fences, you now have your own parking lot. Many a shopping malls have taken to add bicycle racks right near the doors to attract more customers. Bicycle racks in Dubai come in many designs – keeping in mind the appearance and appeal of the rack – and functionality.
A simple metal arch rack gives you the option to lock your bike with the frame, with a u-lock or a wire lock with both the wheels locking facility. But metal means keeping it away from sunlight. Other variations of the arch are the movable racks with slots for multiple bikes like, omega racks, continuous rack, the sinus rack and the mounted racks. Then there are the hoopla stands which are semi circles embedded in the ground. Each semi-circle houses a single bike, tucked inside and locked securely by the wheels and the handlebars. The only downside of these racks is that you need to carry your own chains and if you forget it, you need to go hunting for the vroom stand which comes with framelocks. These are u shaped or simple pillars with a ring on top having chains attached to it. You can use bike’s lock to just tie it up.
