Eckerson Jr., C. (2007) "Secure Bike Parking just cents per Hour" (5.44mins video) NYC Streets Renaissance, StreetFilms
Visit Site
At many locations in the Bay Area you’ll find electronic, on-demand Bike Link locking facilities where you can park your bike securely for between 3 to 5 cents per hour! The lockers were created by eLock Technologies, which runs the Bike Link facilities.
While not ubiquitous just yet, one can see the amazing potential for this technology on the streets of New York City. Imagine a bike locker on every corner, not having to carry multiple heavy locks, and - most importantly - being able to ride even the most expensive model bike and know it’ll be there when you return.
StreetFilms likes to dream, but seriously folks, this could be a moneymaker in NYC. I’d pay lots more than pennies per hour to lock my bike!
