Why a scaling bike parking network needs IoT, not Bluetooth
Bluetooth locks scale to a dozen doors. Networks that reach hundreds need devices with their own connection — and a platform that outlives the hardware.

Our Business Development Manager Aleksei Jeršovski spoke on Radio 4 about how Bikeep started, what micromobility is all about, and what the 2021 season will bring in terms of smart bike parking and cycling infrastructure.
In the interview, Aleksei covered the growing demand for secure, technology-enabled bike parking across cities and commercial properties, and how Bikeep's smart stations are helping municipalities and businesses respond to the shift toward sustainable urban mobility.
With spring marking the start of peak cycling season, the conversation highlighted how smart infrastructure plays a key role in encouraging more people to choose bikes over cars for their daily commutes.

Since 2016, Bikeep smart bike parking stations at BART have cut bike theft and outlasted a decade of daily use across the Bay Area transit network.

A summer pilot on Princess Street became permanent: 18 secure Bikeep docks across three downtown Kingston locations, free for residents and visitors.
