Why is it called Sheffield?
A modern version is known as the "Sheffield rack" or "Sheffield stand" after the city of Sheffield in England where these were pioneered. These consist of a thick metal bar or tube bent into the shape of a square arch.
These should be installed as close to the area they intend to serve (no more than 30 metres away). Where they are highly visible and adjacent to high traffic routes. In an easily accessible location. Away from potential road hazards.
In order to comfortably accommodate two bicycles, stands should be set a clear distance of 1000mm apart. Multiple cycle stands should conform to the following setting out dimensions, to ensure that sufficient space is given for both cycles and their owner to mount/dismount and secure their bike unhindered.
They should have the ability to secure both wheels and the bike frame.
Generally shortened to Bike Rack, a bicycle stand is a device to which bicycles can be securely attached for purposes of parking. In addition to being freestanding, a bike rack may also be mounted securely on the ground or to a stationary object such as abuilding.
It is common for indoor bike racks to be used for private bicycle parking, while outdoor bike racks are often used in commercial settings.
There are a number of different materials available for the construction of bike racks. When selecting the right material for a bike rack, durability, weather resistance, appearance, and functionality are of paramount importance. The characteristics of each material are unique, and all have advantages and disadvantages.
There are several factors that determine the usefulness of a bicycle rack, including its visibility, its spacing from parking spaces and pedestrian traffic, its weather coverage, and its proximity to destinations. As a result of these factors, the bike rack will be more likely to be used, and cyclists will feel more secure about leaving their bikes there.
