A Revolutionary Design for Bicycle Parking that Protects Bikes from Scratches and Dents
Bicycles have become a valuable and increasing-popular asset for many, serving as a reliable mode of transportation and recreational enjoyment. With the increasing popularity of bicycles, and added features like electric power, the value of bicycles has increased exponentially in recent years. This makes it more important than ever to ensure that bikes are protected from damage and theft.
The Sportworks team is a group of avid bicyclists, and we set out to develop a parking solution that protects bikes while delivering a beautiful aesthetic and superior functionality. This design resulted in the revolutionary No Scratch® bike parking solutions. This unique, versatile, vandal-resistant, innovative design, has proved to be a game-changer for cyclists across the globe.
Bike damage is common with traditional racks, which often rely on metal-to-metal contact to keep the bike in place. With the addition of a robust thermoplastic bumper, which is extremely durable, UV-stable, fade, and crack-resistant, the Sportworks No Scratch® racks are the ONLY bike parking racks on the market that prevent scratches and dents to bikes.
The rectangular tube construction is another notable feature that increases vandal resistance by making the rack less susceptible to pipe cutters, which are common tools used to steal bikes (and destroy bike racks in the process). We take durability seriously, which is why our products are designed to stand the test of time.
When considering the finish of your bike parking racks, stainless steel bead blast is a quintessential choice. It's sleek, streamlined, and resistant to scratches and dents. However, if you're looking to add a pop of color that matches a specific brand or decor, the steel can be powder coated. In this case, the No Scratch® feature offers a unique benefit. Along with protecting the bicycle, the No Scratch® bumper protects the rack itself (and the colorful powder coat) from scratches and dents. This protection will ensure the bike parking infrastructure maintains its appearance and durability over the long term, providing a long-lasting, sustainable solution.
Speaking of sustainability, all of our USA-made No Scratch® solutions are Declare listed, meaning that they meet rigorous sustainability standards and are free from harmful chemicals. We're committed to creating thoughtful, well-manufactured products that not only protect bikes but protect the environment.

This selection provides plenty of options for versatility, so you can find the perfect fit for your indoor or outdoor space.
