There are now a range of ways to creatively store your bicycle. We all remember the boring, outdated and uninteresting bike racks at our school. Well here are some new and functional bicycle racks that are as far removed as possible from the dreary school offerings.
Cycle storage grows in importance every day with new green incentives and pressure to be more eco friendly.
They range from simply artistic to completely wacky offerings. These brilliant bike racks are great ways for companies and municipalities to encourage people to cycle to work or for leisure.
Some of the designs have even taken theft into consideration. The ascending cycle storage device ensures that your bicycle is stored safely out of harms way, literally.
