What is Cyc-Lok aim?

 Cyc-Lok Ltd is an Irish company established in 2014 to develop a Europe-wide and global network of secure bicycle parking facilities in response to the dramatic surge in cycling for recreation and especially for transport in urban commuter zones.  Cyc-lok is a new modular bike parking system that has evolved following extensive research and development and  award winning design.

‘Reducing carbon footprints and getting cities moving whilst encouraging the joy of travel by bike is what Cyc-lok allows for commuters.’

How does it work?

A Cyc-lok unit can take up to 12/24/36 full sized bikes and utilises innovative control technologies that open and close the individual lockers thus ensuring a safe and secure, weatherproof environment for cyclists when they reach their destination.   Cyc-lok can be run on small amounts of power with back up batteries installed for security and can be accessed via RFID cards or through our App with a designated unique PIN code.  It is neither site nor user specific so a cyclist can use our unit anytime, anyplace with ease and also instantly due to our state of the art software payment system.  No Subscription is necessary.
