Cyclists are usually wasting time wandering around the streets looking for an appropriate lampposts or railings to secure their bicycle to. Looks like their problem is solved with this space-age looking cycle storage unit which will smarten up bike parking all over town.

The bikes are stored upright and the front wheel and frame can both be locked in place. There is also the option of having a canopy over the pod to protect the bikes from the weather. The good news is that the Cyclepod is made from 95% recycled aluminium and has a 10-15 year estimated life span. Comparatively, it uses half the space of current storage units for the equivalent number of bikes.
