What is the Bike and Ride Box?
The Bike and Ride Box offers the possibility to park your bike safely. If you have rented a box on the homepage for the period of your choice, you will receive a personal access code that will allow you to use your Bike and Ride Box.
During the rental period you will receive your own parking space in the box, which you do not have to share with other users. Your bike is stored in a clean and dry place. The Bike and Ride Box is also much more resistant to vandalism and theft than a freely accessible parking space.
What are the advantages of the bike and ride system?
- A dry and clean parking space.
- An increased protection against theft compared to a freely accessible parking space.
- More protection against vandalism.
- Safe use thanks to the illuminated interior *. Access to the system is only possible with a code.
- Easy online registration via an electronic access and booking system.
- Quick access to the system via a code, no key organization is necessary.
- Sufficient space for additional storage of utensils, such as a bicycle helmet and clothing, depending on the design of the system.
