PlantLock Â - Â A favourite with bike cafes and homeowners alike…….
A nice touch is that the planter top is actually at perfect pedal height to stop bikes toppling, and the website offers tips about what and when to plant, whether you prefer flowering plants, hardy shrubs or herbs.

An elegant alternative to the dreary boltdown ‘toast-rack’ often found at stations and workplaces. This stand is robust, very secure cycleparking for public places, schools and workplaces (& amongst other things, it doesn’t trap litter like the ‘toast-rack’). Contact us for more details/prices.

Tulips!

This is when it gets exciting:
taken to their full potential, PlantLocks secure bicycles outside, and offer the whole street much more than is possible with a standard concreted-in hoop.

Currently we sell PlantLocks to cyclists and businesses in Germany, and in Sweden there’s been growing interest both for cycleparking and buggy/pushchair parking. But what to do about the winter permafrost? We need advice on local ice-hardy perennials.
