Good workplace cycle rack?

[jagman.2003]

Hello, new bloke here!
Reading the poll/discussion on 'what sort of cycle parking does your workplace provide' I was inspired to ask this question.
The company I work for are quite positive thinking & will provide adequate facilities if there is a suitable requirement, within a reasonable cost. I am compiling a suggestion to improve cycle rack facilities outside one building & am in the lucky position to be able to raise the suggestion's visibility within the company. The facilities department does not contain any cyclists so wouldn't trust their judgement & would like to suggest a good alternative. I checked out some facilities catalogues but wasn't inspired by any of the designs. The area I work in isn't particularly high risk of theft but does get occational opportunists.

Can anyone suggest a good cycle rack/stand:

• For approximately 20 cycles.
• That would support the cycle well & not cause wheel or frame damage.
• Give adequate secure locking options.
• Be able to cope with fat mountain bike tyres as well as skinny road tyres.
• Not cost the earth, just better by design.

Ok, I maybe asking alot but owe it to my bike & fellow cyclists to ask.

Thanks.

Ten sheffield stands within a unit is fairly standard (sometimes in units of 3, 5 or 8). The only problem is people frequently bodge up the installation and put them too close together (so you can't get 20 bikes in and only about 6 or 8).

I was going to recomend ten Sheffield stands in some sort of shelter as well.
