Outdoor Bike Lockers

This Modern Bike Storage Unit Doubles as an Urban Green Planting Space

Putting away your bicycle at the end of the day doesn't have to be a chore with this outdoor bike locker by Treesaurus. The beautiful storage system is accented with eye-pleasing hardwood that hides a secure aluminum-bodied frame with a built-in door-locking mechanism.

Overtop of the bike locker -- which more closely resembles a quaint country shed in appearance when not in use -- is a green space rooftop that can be covered in grass or flowers. This element provides an area for garden growth without sacrificing any space.

The locker measures a meter in width and can fit two or more adult-sized bicycles depending on one's preferences. A small rack can also be installed inside the unit, providing a perfect place for storing helmets and any other additional bike accessories.
