| What People are saying
about Bikelid®
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.” |
