BIKERAIL® is a strong, steel barrier system designed to create a fully protected bike lane. It offers the substantial protection of a concrete curb . . . but it’s a modular, quick build solution and is 100% changeable, movable and reusable.
BIKERAIL’s modular, durable steel rails connect and swivel at posts to create the desired barrier configuration. Posts have a narrow 5-1/4″ footprint to accommodate minimal buffer zones, and can be anchored into asphalt or concrete. Vertical elements can be attached to any post. Rails sit 2” above grade to allow for storm water drainage and debris clearance. Choose galvanized or a powder coat color (over galvanized) finish.
When anchored, BIKERAIL forms a strong, secure and permanent barrier. If/When it must be reconfigured, moved or repurposed, simply remove the anchors in seconds to relocate or repurpose the entire system.
Increase system visibility by adding flex delineators to some or all posts. Or enhance both visibility and aesthetics with our new RAILRIBBON™ elements. Combine various shapes and sizes, and use with or without flex delineators to create a safer, custom, and appealing protected bike lane.
Pre-packaged BIKERAIL Kits contain enough components to create a separated bike lane for one average city block. Kits offer an ideal, low-cost means of testing BIKERAIL’s quick-build ease of assembly/adjustability and its protective functionality — and for gathering stakeholders’ feedback.
BIKERAIL installs in hours without the immediate need for time-consuming and expensive engineering studies and plans. With no excavation required and no impact to utilities, it’s an ideal solution for retrofit conditions where a strong, protective treatment is desired quickly. No special skill set or training is needed to install the system. Crews like the quick, easy assembly, and cities appreciate the low labor costs.
“It’s like playing with Legos. It just goes together so fast and easy.”
– Tom, Fort Collins installation crew
Modular components make it easy to expand, contract, or reconfigure the system on the fly (which is helpful when field conditions don’t exactly match the site plan).
Need to add on or replace a section? Simply order the components you need to create the appropriate configuration for this or the next project.
For a unique and complete solution, combine sections of BIKERAIL – with or without RAILRIBBON™ – with STEELGREEN® Planters to create protective, highly visible and aesthetically pleasing bike lane corridors.
BIKERAIL is available in a galvanized finish, or in your choice of custom, durable powder coat colors (over galvanized). Most popular colors shown below.
Option: use some galvanized and some color rails.
