John Tibbetts, Transportation Manager, METRO - Greater Portland Transit District
“We have been extremely happy with the BikeLid units which we installed here in Portland, Maine last year.  They have been used on a regular basis by both those who travel on our buses and those who make their entire commute by bike.  These units withstood the rigors of our Maine winter including an unprecedented ice storm. The BikeLids were always ready for use and never froze shut.  Their unique sculpture-like appearance and the granite color blends well with the downtown streetscape.  Users are pleased with the security the BikeLids offer and METRO and the users appreciate the convenience of having them available.”

      Mark A. Johnson, City Planner, City of Newton, Massachusetts
“I would like to confirm that after a year of use and a Massachusetts winter, your product continues to be in excellent condition.  We have had no problems whatsoever.  As advertised, lids appear to be essentially maintenance and administration free.  Having a secure, dry shelter for bikes is much appreciated by those who wish to cycle to work and encourages cycling over driving.  This is a step in the right direction environmentally.

      James Knopka, Trail Development Coordinator, City of Folsom, CA, Parks Dept.
“The BikeLid has a proven track record as a highly secure, durable product.  It’s unique design and construction makes it ideal for short and long-term bicycle parking.  The strength and durability of the product is unmatched among bicycle parking products.  The product’s resistance to graffiti and vandalism is also a very attractive feature.  BLS’s commitment to environmentally conscious manufacturing and recycling set BikeLid apart from any other product in the industry.  The flexibility in installation, configuration and locking are also unmatched by any other product.”

     Scott Pierson, RLA – Urban Planner for the City of Tacoma, WA
“…I see I have more design options with BikeLid. I did a design for our library and found that I can fit more bikes with the BikeLid than with the box-style locker because of the access from only one end. Your design’s sculptural appeal makes it ideal for many public facilities such as schools, libraries and sports facilities.”

     Julie Dubow, Security Chair of Westbeth Apartments Residents’ Council, New York City
“In addition to the security features of the BikeLid, as an artist community we are particularly concerned about the visual impact of BikeLids in our complex. I have received numerous positive comments and inquiries regarding them, and we thank you for providing such an attractive ‘utilitarian art’ solution to our bicycle security needs.”

     Mark Birnbaum, Regional Bicycle Advisory Committee of the San Francisco Bay Area
“BikeLid is the most practical, innovative bicycle parking idea I have seen in my 20 years as a bicycle advocate. I am delighted that Novato’s Park and Ride has become a BikeLid site. The Lids fit in nicely with the surroundings, and are providing excellent protection to bicycles, both from the elements and vandalism. I will be doing my utmost to obtain BikeLids for other areas in Novato, Marin County and the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.”

     Dean Lindstrom, Facilities Manager, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO
“We are extremely pleased with the quality of the BikeLid and the administration-free solution it provides. I have been hearing great comments: ‘easy to use,’ ‘easy to maintain,’ ‘great looking,’ ‘excellent solution.’ Now everyone is asking when we will replace the old bike lockers with BikeLids.”

     Peter Winberger, bicyclist using Pierce Transit Station near Seattle
“Thanks to BikeLid, I can now leave my bike in this unsafe neighborhood’s Park and Ride with total peace of mind. I no longer have to lug my bike onto the bus. The Lid is also easier to use than a bike rack, which I wouldn’t use anyway for safety reasons. Besides that, it’s great to come back to a dry bike. BikeLid has been a ‘force of freedom’ for me.”

     Jack Rose, Olympic Venue Manager, 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Atlanta
“BikeLids provided that extra measure of protection and security for bicycles. Sixteen consecutive sell out sessions with no bicycle thefts or damage. BikeLids were used by our spectators 100% of the time and garnered many compliments for their utility and ease of use.”

     Pam Jensen, bicyclist and graduate student, University of Washington
“In the nine months before I was able to start using a BikeLid on campus, I lost two headlamps, two tail lights and one pouch to thieves, and my bike spokes and fenders were dented in the process. Since BikeLid -- NO problems. This really is the best thing since sliced bread.”

     Jason Wentworth, Apartment Landlord and Bicycle Advocate, Portland, ME
BikeLids make bikes as convenient to park as cars, and are completely secure. No rain, snow or theft. They’re great – and, unlike lockers, BikeLids never freeze shut in cold weather.”

     Shane Fletcher, Center for Urban Transportation Research, Tampa, FL
“Everything from BikeLid’s futuristic design to its easy use to its variety of colors makes it a local favorite. It’s the talk of the town in North Tampa! Thank you for offering such an attractive, quality product.”

     William de Ridder, Design Director, Perkins & Will Architecture, New York City
“BikeLids are a work of art with real function. The unlimited colors and configurations make it easy for BikeLid to fit into and complement any setting, such as parks, corporate campuses, universities, etc.”
