Fortunately there are some good sites with "sheffield stands" and the key officers at the County Council are improving facilities where they can. The Sheffield stand is an inverted U-shaped metal bar, which is inexpensive and easy to install. Because it supports the bike and enables people to lock the frame and one or both wheels to the stand it is often the preferred option. Its simple but practical design has made it the most popular cycle parking device for local authorities, schools and work places. It also requires minimal maintenance.
