The Digirit Pedal Park Keeps Bikes from Falling Over
Michael Hines — March 20, 2017 — Eco
Digirit Pedal Park aims to eliminate one of the most annoying parts about locking up a bike. The most annoying thing about locking up a bike is coming back to find it stolen--but the second most annoying thing is returning to your bicycle only to find that it has fallen to the ground. The Digirit Pedal Park has a simple solution to this problem: pedals with magnets at the ends.
With Digirit Pedal Park, a bike can be stuck to any metal surface. If no metal is present that's fine as "parking plates" are included as part of the Pedal Park package. These metal plates (which look to have an adhesive backing) can be slapped onto any surface to ensure that a bike stays upright. The Digirit Pedal Park is seeking funding on Indiegogo and is available in either plastic ($30 pledge) or aluminum alloy ($45 pledge).
