Bike Rack Design

There are many types of bike rack designs, from racks that hold single bikes to corrals that can hold up to 12. Racks can either be installed outside your workplace or indoors where employees feel most comfortable with their bicycle. Whether a standard bike rack or a custom artistic rack, Clean Air Council can help employers choose the appropriate style of bike rack.
