I hate to be that guy….but $21,000 and it only keeps 4 bikes safe, and you have to use your own lock? What am I missing?

It’s a trial. 21k is peanuts for urban furniture. There were other more expensive options with high tech apps to open the door. This company has a handle design that protects the lock from cutting. North Bay has them.
Do you have any idea how much it cost to build one parking spot? It’s often 10-15k per spot and you can only park one vehicle. We can park 10 bikes in the same space.

Why write such a biased headline? Sootoday reporters are supposed to report news not stir up anti cycling sentiment which is pervasive enough.
