Why Manchester Needs Better Bike Storage
Cycling is a low-impact form of exercise suitable for adults and children alike, and its growing popularity helps reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and public health costs. Yet despite these benefits, only 11% of adults in England cycle once a week, and just 3% of UK children cycle to school. In Manchester, a major barrier is the lack of convenient, secure bike storage options.
Accessible, well-placed bike storage in Manchester — whether at homes, offices, schools, or public spaces — plays a key role in making cycling a practical choice for more people.
The Best Ways to Store Bikes in Manchester
Whether you’re tight on space in a Manchester flat or managing a larger commercial premises, there are multiple smart options for storing bikes securely:
Freestanding racks or floor stands offer simple, ground-level storage.
Wall hooks or mounts save space indoors or in sheds.
Ceiling pulleys can lift bikes out of the way entirely — ideal for compact properties.
These options are perfect for residential needs. But what about commercial, public, or educational settings?
Bike Storage Solutions for Workplaces and Schools in Manchester
If your employees cycle to work or students ride to school, it's essential to provide on-site bike storage facilities. These encourage continued use of eco-friendly transport by offering secure, weather-protected parking. Options include:
Sheffield stands: The UK's most popular cycle parking system. Durable, cost-effective, and easy to install.
Semi-vertical racks: Ideal for sites with limited floor space.
Two-tier bike racks: Maximise capacity by storing bikes on two levels.
Individual bike lockers: Great for privacy and extra protection, especially in residential or high-theft areas.
Secure compounds: Fully enclosed and lockable, perfect for schools, offices, and apartment complexes.
Tamstar offers all of these options, tailored to suit different capacities and site conditions across Manchester.
Is Bike Storage Easy to Install in Manchester?
Yes! Our prefabricated bike storage solutions are designed for fast, easy on-site installation. Customisation options are available for layout, cladding, locking systems, and access control — all adapted to fit your space.
Most units can be assembled by two installers within 6 hours, assuming a prepared concrete base. If your Manchester location has tarmac or paving, we recommend laying concrete slabs to securely anchor the unit.

Our bike storage units in Manchester range from compact lockers for a single bike to modular shelters that hold over 200 bicycles. Whether you’re managing a block of flats in Islington or a university campus in Southwark, we can provide scalable options that grow with your needs.
Thanks to the modular design of Tamstar products, expanding capacity later is easy and cost-effective.
Storing Multiple Bikes in Manchester: What to Consider
Need to store five or more bikes at your Manchester property?
A shed to fit five adult bikes typically requires a 6’ x 5’ space.
Two-tier or semi-vertical racks help you save floor space in narrow areas.
Larger shelters and compounds allow you to provide secure cycle storage for schools, transport hubs, or business parks.
How Secure Are Our Bike Storage Units?
Security is a top concern in Manchester, where bike theft is a major issue. Our bike shelters and lockers are built from galvanised steel, and come with secure locking systems and optional roof coverings to protect against the weather.
For added protection, our enclosed compounds feature lockable gates and durable Perspex glazing panels made from Polycarbonate, offering high impact resistance and protection from UV rays. If vandalism is an issue, then we can even clad the shelters with steel sheets.
