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.

Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
Sheffield Children’s Hospital purchased two cycle shelters from Doing R Bit to help promote cycling and provide secure, sustainable storage for staff and visitors. Dave and the team at Doing R Bit were extremely knowledgeable and responded quickly to all enquiries.
From the outset, they were excellent to work with, supportive, professional, and helpful in designing and costing the storage solutions that best met our needs. We purchased two secure wooden shelters with green roofs at a cost of approximately £30,000. Installation was straightforward and fully managed by the Doing R Bit team.
The cycle stores are of exceptional quality, and we have already received positive feedback from users who appreciate both the durability and the sustainability of the design. We would be very happy to work with Doing R Bit again for any future cycle or scooter storage requirements.

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.
