When constructed correctly, vertical bike racks serve as the ideal solution for maximizing space and providing necessary bike security for long-term parking. Many companies may claim their racks are ultra space savers, compatible with a U-lock, but what they sometimes fail to mention is that those features are only guaranteed for certain bike demographics.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important when purchasing any rack, especially vertical bike racks, that you make certain the rack you choose accommodates most, if not all styles of bikes. A rack like\u00a0the Offset™<\/a><\/span>,<\/a>\u00a0unlike many of the other vertical options out there, is able to quarter the very popular beach cruiser due to its hanging hook.\u00a0Many vertical rack options have a holster for the front tire, which does not cater to larger tires or bikes with fenders, such as the beach cruiser.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>NBDA<\/span><\/a>, sales of bicycles that have a 20\u2033 tire or greater are steadily rising and those providing parking must be in the know on acclimating to the trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your school or project calls for long-term vertical parking, be sure to do your research. Not all racks are the same, and many have had to be replaced almost instantly after purchase because they did not cater to the user.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are four advantages you\u2019ll get with the Vertical Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0Rack :<\/span><\/p>\n

High-Security:<\/h2>\n

Providing the most secure vertical bike parking experience, the Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0supplies users with\u00a0three points of locking contact<\/a>\u00a0offering the highest security locking.\u00a0With The Offest<\/span>™,\u00a0there is no need to shift around your bike until you find the perfect locking point. Once hooked on the rack, the solid steel locking loop aligns perfectly with the bicycle frame and front tire allowing for the user to simply lock their bike at three points. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Durability:<\/h2>\n

While other racks on the market may provide a quick fix, the Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0provides a longterm solution. Constructed from solid steel, and dipped in a black Duroplast<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0finish rather than a simple powder coating, the Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0has proven itself to be one of the most durable racks in the game. Unlike other racks that may begin to break and lose paint after extended periods of use, the high-quality Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0was designed for heavy use. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Orderly And High-Density Parking:<\/h2>\n

Serving as one of the country\u2019s only dual unit bicycle racks, the Vertical Offset™<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>is capable of securing two bicycles at the same time within 6 \u2013 8 inches of space and can house a multitude of bicycle styles.<\/p>\n

Providing high-density layout possibilities, Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0racks can be placed side-by-side for maximum space-efficient parking helping to prevent bike damage, and maintain order within bike storage rooms. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

User Convinience:<\/h2>\n

Equipped with a loading ramp allowing cyclists to roll their bike up the rack to the security hook, The Offset<\/span>™<\/b>\u00a0serves as one of the most user-friendly vertical racks out there. Preventing the need for cyclists to lift their bike off of the ground, \u00a0all riders need to do is tilt their bike onto its back tire, rest the seat on the front of their leg, and simply roll it into place. Once they are ready to go, it\u2019s the same process in reverse.<\/span><\/p>\n

When trying to accommodate a wider range of bicycle types, vertical bike racks with hooks are the way to go. Vertical bike racks, like the Offset™<\/b>, are tailored for high-density parking and come in wall-mounted or freestanding variations.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/groundcontrolsystems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bike_room_vertical_bike_rack_1.jpg” title_text=”bike_room_vertical_bike_rack_1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
