\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was in the town of Delft, in the Netherlands, a while ago and saw these ingenious pieces of bike infrastructure. I was told while I was in the Netherlands that a lot of Dutch houses lack any easy place to store bikes (they are often narrow and attached on both sides), and thus many have to be parked on the street permanently. These plastic bubbles seems like a clever solution to keeping bikes that are parked on the street weatherproof and secure (it’s hard to see at this image size, but there is a lock where the handle is).<\/p>\n

The only issue is that in this particular location they don’t leave a lot of room for pedestrians to get by, but they could be made smaller to allow more room and still be able to park 2-3 bikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
