BikeLid, LLC

The patented BikeLid® is the most durable and secure form of Class 1 (long-term) public bicycle parking in the marketplace. The tough yet lightweight and graffiti resistant polyethylene shell, reinforced by steel, is attached by spring-loaded hinge to a steel bike guide frame, which provides one or two full-sized bicycles unrivaled protection from the elements, vandals, and thieves. BikeLid’s standard locking mechanism is secured by the bicyclist’s own lock. A BikeLid® easily bolts to any ground surface, from earth to concrete. Moldable in virtually any color, BikeLid’s unique and appealing sculptural design turns heads, encourages use, and complements a wide variety of architectural styles. The brainchild of University of Washington Physics Lab Field Engineer, Steve Voorhees, BikeLid® entered the bike security market with a high-visibility debut at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. An Olympic venue manager commented: “Sixteen consecutive sell-out sessions with no bicycle thefts or damage. BikeLids were used by our spectators 100% of the time and garnered many compliments for their utility and ease of use.” The Games started a trend. about-bike-lid-bicycle-storage-for-parking-garagesInstalled across the country, from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine, BikeLid® is fast becoming the “secure bike parking solution” of choice among large REITs, municipalities, transit authorities, universities, and corporate campuses.
