Sonder x Skarper Camino is a bicycle parking and storage solution designed to accommodate two bikes using a single base unit with attachable extensions. The system’s core component is a floor-mounted rail with two pivoting arms that secure a bike by its wheels and frame. Additional modules click into the primary rail to create extra holding points, allowing the rack to be customized for different bike volumes without separate hardware. Each pivoting arm locks into place when a bike is mounted, and release mechanisms allow the arms to fold flat against the rail when not in use.
The rack is built from powder-coated steel and aluminum components sized to support a range of bicycle types including road, gravel, and mountain bikes. Adjustable clamps and wheel cradles adapt to different tire widths, and rubberized contact points protect frames from abrasion. The design emphasizes modular expansion through tool-free assembly, with each add-on engaging securely through a click-in interface.
