Smart Lock & Dock is a smart and safe place to park and rent out public bikes

This solution makes streets less crowded by using a smart bike rack that lets private bikes be parked on the street and locks the bike frame like a dock. Without signing up, you can also use the system as a regular bike stand by locking your bike with your own lock. The smart bike stand can also be used by cities to offer bike-sharing services to their residents. Smart Lock & Dock is a smart and hybrid way to rethink and improve how public space and urban mobility are used. It is very flexible.
