Commercial bike rack installation in Ottery St Mary

### Cycling Infrastructure

More people cycling means you need bike parking. **Proper racks, properly installed, encourage cyclists** and meet your sustainability commitments.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Sheffield stands (the inverted U) are most practical - simple, strong, and allow frame locking. Wheel-only racks don't prevent theft.
