Pocket Shelter
Small and versatile, the
Pocket Shelter stores bikes in areas that would not normally accommodate bike parking. This shelter is a modular system that provides covered and secure bike storage but is extremely space efficient and cost-effective.
The vertical Ultra Space
Saver system allows both the frame and wheel of each bike to be secured with a ulock for the greatest bike security.
Optional side and back panels add increased protection against the elements. Optional interior or exterior benches are also available.
Covered bike parking earns your site LEED credits.
