Testimonial Category: Cycle Shelter

  • Redwood Academy, Maltby (2) – Ruth Berry

    Maltby Redwood Academy is incredibly grateful for the installation of our new bicycle shelter in the EYFS and KS1 playground. This fantastic addition provides our children with a safe and secure place to store their bicycles throughout the school day, encouraging more families to consider active travel as part of their daily school routine. We’re passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting children to develop positive habits from an early age. The shelter is a wonderful resource that will help us to encourage more children to cycle to school, supporting both their physical wellbeing and our commitment to creating a healthier, more active school community.

    I was handed the details of this project by our EYFS lead, and from day one dealing with Dave from Doin R Bit was smooth and professional and the work carried out was faultless. The overall project has made an impact on the children that this week more and more children are wanting to come to school on their bikes now they have a nice new shelter, I have even been by the children asked if I’ve made it, but sadly I couldn’t take any praise this time.

    I would like to think after this project we as a school would like to use Doin R Bit for other projects here at Maltby Redwood Academy in the near future.

    We are delighted with our new cycle shelter from Doing R Bit. The quality of the installation is excellent, providing a secure, durable and attractive facility for our pupils. Since its installation, the shelter has been used extensively and has significantly enhanced our cycling and scooter provision at Charnock Hall. It has encouraged more pupils to travel actively to and has become a valued addition for pupils. The service provided throughout was professional, efficient and highly responsive. We would have no hesitation in recommending Doing R Bit to other schools.

    Since the installation of our bike / scooter shelter, courtesy of Doing R Bit, at Swallownest Primary School, we have noticed a clear and significant increase in the number of children who are biking and scooting to school.

    In previous years, some children have ridden or scootered to school, only for their parents to have to then carry home. Having this facility now enables our children to travel to school in an active way while also having a safe and secure spot to store their transport.

    Over the last few years, we have accessed Bikeability training, only for the children to not be able to bike to school due to these storage issues. This now removes this issue.

    In terms of the process for installation, it couldn’t have been simpler. A date was arranged and everything was taken care of by Dave and the staff at Doing R Bit. In the space of a few hours, our amazing new shelter was erected and ready to go!

    We are so pleased to have been selected to receive the shelter and are so encouraged to see how our children are engaging with it. We would highly recommend Dave Spencer and Doing R Bit to anyone who is considering something similar for their school.

    Sheffield City Council contracted Doing R Bit to install a variety of cycle & scooter storage units with living roofs in 10 schools across Sheffield in 2025.

    Working with Dave and his team was a pleasure. They were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the project. They delivered excellent quality products, on time, on budget and with no fuss or stress for us as the contractor. They carried out valuable site visits pre-installation thus pre-empting any problems or issues further down the line.

    Their friendly and approachable outlook created excellent relationships with each individual school making the whole process hassle free for all concerned.

    Their attention to detail, brilliant customer service and exceptional project planning, meant that our project was delivered to a high standard with very happy customers. Would highly recommend.

    Our bike sheds have quickly become one of the most appreciated additions to our school grounds. They’ve made cycling and scooting to school safer, easier, and more appealing for pupils and families alike. With secure, weather-protected storage, children feel confident leaving their bikes and scooters during the day – and parents love the peace of mind that comes with it.

    Beyond practicality, the bike sheds have helped promote active travel and healthier lifestyles. We’ve seen a noticeable increase in pupils choosing to ride instead of drive, which means fewer cars at drop-off and a calmer, cleaner school environment. It’s a small change that’s made a big impact – and we couldn’t be happier to see our bike sheds full each morning.
