CYCLE LANE
CycleLane is a smart, safe solution that provides a visual separation between vehicle and bicycle lanes. Constructed of recycled rubber, CycleLane curbing is designed to define traffic spaces while protecting the safety of bicyclists. Ideal for use anywhere with bike traffic, the lane delineators separate vehicle and bike traffic, with a unique two sided design.
The elevated profile on the vehicle side prevents motorists from entering the bike lane, while the sloped profile on the bicyclist side gently guides cyclists back into the bike lane. CycleLane curbing can help you create complete streets that are safe for everyone.
Features:
• Precise traffic delineation
• Unique sloped profile
• Protects bicyclists
• Highly visible with bright highway tape
• Environmentally friendly
• Quick and simple installation

Why Separate Bike Lanes?
Cities across the world are shifting from a car-centric approach to a focus on alternate transportation modes like walking and biking. With more people using bicycles as their primary form of transportation, it becomes imperative for cities to provide them with routes that are safe to travel on. Bikers travel slower than vehicle traffic and when they use the same
lanes, they put themselves at risk of injury or even death. Sidewalks or pedestrian walkways are not a safe option either, as the difference in speeds of walkers and bikers puts pedestrians at risk. Dedicated or separated bike lanes offer the safest
option to allow cyclists to get where they need to go without compromising their safety or the safety of others.
Studies on the impact of bike lanes have found that they:
- Reduce cyclist injuries even when the number of bicyclists increases in volume
- Increase the number of commuters likely to travel by bike, especially among women
- Result in people reporting feeling safer- including drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists
- Reduce crashes even between just cars
- Reduce traffic congestion
- Improve aesthetics with visual appeal

Why CycleLane?
Bike lanes have been lauded for improving city streets and city travel in dozens of ways, some of which we’ve just outlined. But just separating bike lanes isn’t enough. A dedicated space is a good start but when vehicles are whizzing by at exponentially greater speeds than cyclists, the risk of crash or injury is still very real. Protected bike lanes completely change that. They’re an essential part of safe bike travel and CycleLane can help your city create them.
CycleLane bike lane protectors do more than just dedicate a space to cyclists; they provide a highly visual delineation between car and bike traffic. With safer, more well protected bike lanes, biking becomes a safe and practical way to travel, not just a bold or athletic activity.
CycleLane bike lane barriers have reflective markings to make them highly visible even from a distance. Their unique sloped design guides bicyclists who hit them back into the bike lane. The higher edge on the side of vehicle traffic prevents motorists from ever entering the bike lane. They’re a simple, intuitive solution for protected bike lanes that encourage cycling and make your streets safer for everyone who uses them.
