Helix Rack
Example of rack in use
The Helix Rack is an attractive double-sided, space efficient bicycle rack.
Each Helix parks six bikes.
The Helix supports bicycles at two points and allows for the wheels and frame to be secured using a u-style lock.
The curve and pitch of the
Helix Rack makes it nearly impossible to cut with a pipe cutter.

Foot Mount has two 2.5”x6”x.25” feet with two anchors per foot. Specify foot mount for this option.
Wall Setbacks: A minimum of 74” should be left between the wall and the long side of the rack. If placing the Helix perpendicular to the wall 12”-24” is the recommended setback.
Distance Between Racks: Helix ends can be placed together to look like a continuous spiral. Helixes placed parallel with each other should allow for 13’ between each rack, measured center to center.
Street Setbacks: 74” is the minimum setback distance between the street and the rack. 77” is recommended.

Installing into NEW concrete:
Installing into existing concrete:
Core holes no less than 3” diameter (4” recommended) and 10” deep into sidewalk. Fill holes with Por-Rok or epoxy grout. Place rack into holes, making sure the rack is level. 33”-36” of the rack should remain above the surface. If the rack is less than 33” high, it will not support the bike adequately. Make sure the rack is level and held in place until the grout has set.
