The Cyclopod - Sleek new design for bike storage using recycled aluminium

We are forever wasting time wandering around the streets looking for an appropriate lampposts or railings to secure our bikes to. So we are very keen on this space agey looking bike storage unit which will smarten up bike parking all over town. The Cyclepod provides eight secure spaces for parking your bike, the bikes are stored upright and the front wheel and frame can both be locked in place. There is also the option of having a canopy over the pod to protect the bikes from the weather. The very good news is that the Cyclepod is made from 95% recycled aluminium. It has a 10-15 year estimated life span and uses half the space of current storage units for the equivalent number of bikes. It can also be powder coated in whatever colour you like. The problem is of course that when everyone has arrived home before us we will still be looking for the nearest lamppost. Lets hope after their test runs in London and Nottingham they become really popular and every local council orders them!
