🚲 Case Study: Oxford Brookes University Cycle Hub
Two purpose-built cycle hubs provide 216 cycle spaces at Oxford Brookes University's Headington Hill Campus.
But the design isn't simply about capacity.
🪵 Western Red Cedar cladding gives the hubs a natural finish that complements the surrounding campus and landscape.
🚲 Two-tier cycle parking helps maximise the available space.
Together, the elements create a high-capacity cycle parking solution designed to work as part of the wider environment.

♻️ Smarter Litter Management for Better Outdoor Spaces
The CitySolar smart bin uses compaction technology and remote fill-level monitoring to help organisations manage waste more efficiently.
By compacting waste and monitoring the bin remotely, CitySolar can help reduce the frequency of collections, unnecessary vehicle movements and the resources required to manage busy public spaces.
It's designed for locations where high footfall and effective waste management go hand in hand — from transport hubs and universities to public spaces and urban environments.
Smarter technology. More efficient waste management. Cleaner outdoor spaces .fi

🔒 Sold Secure vs Secured by Design
They're both relevant to secure cycle parking — but they aren't the same thing.
Sold Secure — Independent security testing and certification. Products are assessed against defined security standards to help demonstrate their resistance to attack.
Secured by Design — A UK Police crime prevention initiative focused on incorporating security into the design of buildings, developments and environments.
Why does the distinction matter? Understanding what each scheme covers can help when specifying cycle parking and considering the wider security requirements of a development.

Project Spotlight | Panattoni Park, Swindon

We are extremely pleased to have recently completed our works on site for our supply chain partner, Winvic Construction, at Panattoni Park, Swindon.
A challenging yet hugely rewarding project, the installation featured multiple large-scale, fully bespoke cantilevered canopy structures, measuring an impressive 7 metres in length and 5 metres in width, complete with a 13.5mm toughened glass roof.

Designed, manufactured, supplied and installed by BSFG across multiple locations on site, the canopies are complemented by coordinated street furniture, bringing together functionality, durability and a consistent aesthetic throughout the development.

A project of this scale demands meticulous attention to detail, precision engineering and close coordination at every stage. We’re proud to see our team’s expertise and capabilities come together to deliver a solution of this complexity.

A huge thank you to Winvic Construction, our wider supply chain partners and everyone involved in the project for their continued support and collaboration.

🚲 How much cycle parking do you actually need?
It's a simple question, but the answer depends on much more than the size of the site.
When planning cycle parking, it's important to consider:
✔️ Current demand
✔️ Future demand
✔️ Available space
✔️ Who will be using the facilities
✔️ How long bikes will typically be parked
✔️ Security requirements
✔️ Whether the provision can be expanded in future
Getting the planning right from the outset helps create a cycle parking solution that works for both the site and its users.

🪵 Timber in the Public Realm
Timber can be used in far more applications than traditional seating.
Seating — natural materials help create a warmer, more welcoming environment.
Shelters — timber can provide structure while complementing the surrounding landscape.
Cycle parking — as we'll explore later this month, timber can also play an important role here.

🪵 Material of the Month — Timber
For October, we're taking a closer look at timber and its role in public realm and landscape design.
Timber can bring warmth and natural character to outdoor spaces, while offering versatility across a wide range of applications — from seating and shelters to cycle parking and bespoke structures. The choice of timber can have an important influence on both the appearance and performance of a scheme.
