Military installations are vibrant, complex communities—supporting the fitness, mobility, and wellness needs of thousands of service members, civilian staff, and military families. From barracks and family housing to fitness centers, schools, and medical facilities, every base has a diverse set of destinations where safe and convenient bike storage is essential.
CycleSafe helps military leaders enhance base infrastructure with secure, weather-resistant bike lockers, shelters, and racks that support daily commuting, fitness, and recreation. By reducing congestion, encouraging active lifestyles, and strengthening sustainability initiatives, CycleSafe solutions align with the mission of MWR (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation) in the United States and PSP (Personnel Support Programs) in Canada.
Case Study: Peterson Air Force Base (CO) & CID Corry Station/NAS Pensacola (FL)
At Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, base officials saw a dual opportunity: support the Air Force’s “WarFit” wellness programs while advancing the base’s environmental goals. In 2005, CycleSafe ProPark® bike lockers were installed to promote alternative transportation and help reduce reliance on motor vehicles.
“Vehicles are the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions,” base officials noted, citing data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Secure, long-term bike parking infrastructure enabled more service members to bike to and from base facilities—reducing emissions, encouraging fitness, and contributing to a healthier, more sustainable base environment.
Officials selected CycleSafe lockers after evaluating several competing products. While other options had lower up-front costs, they fell short on critical performance and security standards.
“Our problem was providing durable bicycle storage that meets security standards and satisfies force protection issues,” said Randy Hawke, Facilities Excellence Architect at Peterson AFB.
“We chose the CycleSafe product because there are fewer metal parts to rust, and it is made of durable molded composite materials that eliminate replacement costs. The View-Thru™ design allows security forces to make sure there are no suspicious items inside the lockers.”
The lockers proved popular with users across all ranks and departments.
“We’ve probably had more positive feedback from the lockers than any other improvement we have done,” Hawke added.
Peterson AFB offers free locker reservations to service members and civilian staff alike. The solution has become a valued part of the base’s infrastructure—contributing to energy savings, health, and mental readiness.
LEED Certification and Lifestyle Enhancement at NAS Pensacola / CID Corry Station
In Florida, CID Corry Station at Naval Air Station Pensacola deployed CycleSafe lockers to support LEED certification during the construction of new bachelor housing units. Officials needed a secure, low-maintenance bike parking solution to meet the needs of a growing on-base cycling population.
The decision to specify CycleSafe was straightforward.
“No other brands of bike lockers were considered,” reported base personnel. “CycleSafe lockers were chosen for their unmatched security, durability, and minimal maintenance requirements.”
Walking and biking are central to daily life for service members at NAS Pensacola, and secure storage makes these transportation choices more viable and more frequent. For installations seeking to promote active living and environmental stewardship, ProPark® lockers serve as a wellness-enhancing infrastructure investment.
