There’s a local organization who wants to purchase a new bike rack, but buying just one bike rack is expensive. Has your work place, business, school, organization, or church found yourself in these same shoes? Or perhaps you don’t even know where to buy a bike rack?
Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) is facilitating a bulk order of bike racks so that everyone can benefit from the price break available.
Contact Thanh Dang at by September 30, 2015 if you want to purchase a bike rack. Provide:
- Your name (person making the purchase)
- Your organization name
- Your billing address
- Your phone number
- Type of bike rack and quantity of bike racks desired for each type (types available are 1-loop, 2-loop, 3-loop, or 4-loop bike racks)
- Are you a tax exempt organization? Yes or no.
And if you want a local business to purchase a bike rack because you work there or you are a customer, spread the word and let them know that this opportunity is available!
Here are the details:
- Bike racks are manufactured locally by Shickel Corporation in Bridgewater
- Bike racks are the inverted U style, like the one pictured above and as shown in this cut sheet.
- Each bike rack can be ordered as 1-loop, 2-loop, 3-loop, or 4-loop bike racks. (Note: 1-loop bike racks must be mounted to stand up. Other bike racks can stand on their own without mounting.)
- Cost of bike racks vary depending on the type of bike rack, and total number of racks ordered in this combined order. A minimum combined order of 5 bike racks is required for this pricing. If more than 10 are ordered, the price gets better. Costs listed below were received in May 2015, and are provided as a guide. Prices may change slightly for Fall 2015 and will be confirmed with Shickel once interest from buyers received.
- 1-loop bike rack – $239-$218 per rack
- 2-loop bike rack – $361-336 per rack
- 3-loop bike rack – $463-$420 per rack
- 4-loop bike rack – $556-510 per rack
- Shickels will invoice each purchaser directly. Thanh will provide Shickels with your contact and order information.
- Bike racks will be delivered by Shickels to one central location in Harrisonburg and buyers must provide for pick up in Harrisonburg (or can arrange to pick up at Shickels in Bridgewater)
- Plan for 36-inches of distance between all sides of the bike rack to any wall, street, or other obstacle to provide room for bikes and the a person to walk around to lock their bike.
- Buyer is responsible for installation of the bike rack.
