Covina, California, has the third busiest commuter train station in Southern California, according to its mayor, thus the town is investing in a nifty, digitally-accessed bike parking structure called the Mobis Secure Bike Module. While on the other side of the globe Copenhagen is trying out quite minimalistic parking by painting white lines on the sidewalk and hoping people put their bikes there, Mobis, the angel-backed start-up that designed Covina's LEED 3.0 bike facility, is hoping cash-strapped cities will see the utility in safe, user paid parking -- and predicted in its press materials that there would be 200 of these pay-to-park stations in the U.S. within the next five years! Is paid bike parking an idea whose time has come?
