Cycling to work has gained immense popularity, and with good reason. Cycling improves your employees’ physical and mental health, boosting productivity. No wonder countless companies offer e-bikes and speed pedelecs as a benefit to their workforce! In the war for talent, offering alternative means of green mobility has become an important asset.
WDP helps you create a safe storage environment for bicycles, e-bikes and speed pedelecs on your logistics site. What’s more, an intelligently designed bicycle shelter is crucial in obtaining BREEAM conformity for your warehouse.
Let our professionals guide you in the creation of a secure, sustainable, user-friendly and compliant cyclist facility on the grounds of your distribution centre.
BREEAM certification requirements focus on secured, comfortable and accessible cyclist facilities. It aims to encourage your employees and visitors to cycle by ensuring adequate facilities for their means of transportation.
Your employees are more likely to use their bicycles to come to work if they can store them in a dry, well-lit, convenient environment. Go a step further and integrate additional facilities to improve cyclists’ experience, like changing and shower rooms, or lockers to store their gear.
Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike

The number of bicycle spaces or facilities depends on the number of users at your site. For buildings with less than 500 users, BREEAM requires one cycle space per ten people. If there are over 500 people using your site, the ratio changes.
WDP will design your covered bicycle storage facility and bicycle racks to comply with all BREEAM requirements. We consider every detail, from a convenient location with direct visibility from the building to adequate lighting for better safety. If bicycles are stored indoors, we provide the right signage to guide users from and to the bicycle storage location.
Integrate green mobility as a crucial trait into your warehouse environment by installing BREEAM compliant cycle facilities.
This is a smart, safe way to encourage your employees and visitors to skip traffic jams and boost their physical and mental health.
