With
millions of bikes stolen every year, many bicycle riders prefer the
higher level of security available with bike lockers. Many train
stations, office buildings and community centers have lockers
available to the public. And now riders have access to a new smartphone app that will allow them to find available lockers,
reserve, pay for, and use the lockers without contacting
administrative staff. This convenience makes it easier than ever for
bicycle riders to find and use covered, locked storage units.
Most
bike locker systems utilize a key management program that requires an
administrator to manage and replace keys, an obstacle for the cyclist
and burden for management. Now CycleSafe has added an element of
convenience to bike locker rental through a custom app for
reservation and payment.“
“For cyclists, it is much easier to reserve and pay for
a locker via a smartphone with a membership credit card account.
Phones are convenient and simple to use, providing 24 hour service.
For the property managers who have to keep track of reservations,
payments and keys, this is also a great approach, as a self-service
benefit that does not require staffing," says Richard Hartger, President and CEO of CycleSafe.
With the app,
riders can view a map of available bike lockers, choose a locker, and
pay for rental through their smartphone. An important feature of this
new system is that it can be retrofitted to existing lockers. Now
property managers, city officials and others can choose to implement
the app-based rental and payment system to extend the use of their
existing investment in bike lockers.
