The Autopa Black Kirby Bike Stand is the same as the standard galvanised kirby stand but has added black powder coating over the galvanised rust-protective finish. This makes it a contemporary alternative to traditional hoop stands such as the Sheffield. Its modern hoop design complements current office buildings and refurbished commercial areas, providing a secure parking solution for cyclists while they shop or work.

This hoop barrier's design allows cyclists to lock their bikes against both the frame and wheels using their own bike lock, if necessary. The curvature of the hoop ensures that there is always a part of the stand frame at the correct height to accommodate the bike's crossbar or main frame. The frame, made from steel, is first galvanised and then powder-coated black to prevent rusting and ensure durability over time, even if the black finish is scratched or damaged.

The Kirby Bike Stand offers two installation methods, broadening its applicability across various locations. The bolt-down method facilitates easy installation onto existing concrete surfaces, while the cast-in method is perfect for new installations, offering a neater overall appearance. If you opt for the bolt-down variant, remember to purchase the required fixings (six are needed), as these are not included in the bike stand.
