Do customers need to create an account to use it?

No. Customers download the free Bikeep app and scan a QR code to lock — it takes seconds. There's no registration for you to manage. First-time users can start parking immediately.

Does it actually increase foot traffic?

The data says yes. Cyclists visit retail locations 50% more often than drivers and spend 33% more per month. When NYC's 9th Avenue added bike infrastructure, retail sales jumped 49%. Secure parking removes the last barrier for cyclists choosing your store over the one next door.

Can it be customised to match our brand?

Absolutely. Stations can be produced in custom colours with your logo. This turns the parking station into branded street furniture that reinforces your presence at the entrance — visible to everyone, not just cyclists.

How much sidewalk space does it need?

A 5-dock station is about 5 m (16 ft) long. With bikes parked it uses about 2.2 m (7 ft) of depth, but the docks themselves are slim, so an empty station leaves the sidewalk open and never reads as a large structure. It fits most sidewalk frontages, and ground-mount plates bolt to existing pavement, so no excavation or civil works permits are needed.

What if someone leaves their bike too long?

You set maximum parking durations via the platform. When the time limit is reached, the user gets an automated notification. This keeps docks available during peak shopping hours without any manual enforcement.

Can we see proof of ROI for property management?

Yes. The platform provides usage reports showing daily sessions, peak hours, and repeat usage rates. Export this data to demonstrate demand and justify the investment to stakeholders — it speaks for itself.

Why leading retailers choose Bikeep.

The benefits that matter most to retail operators.

Win the Cyclist

The Decision Starts Before They Arrive

For a cyclist, the question isn't just what to buy — it's where they can safely leave their bike. A Bikeep station tips that decision in your favor.

Security Is the Deciding Factor

Knowing their bike or e-scooter is secured with smart, monitored parking is often the decisive factor between choosing you or your competitor down the road.

Higher Spend, More Visits

Studies show cyclists spend more per visit than drivers — make it easy for them to pick you, and they'll keep coming back.

Theft Prevention

Theft Drives Customers Away

Bike theft near retail locations doesn't just hurt the victim — it creates an atmosphere that drives customers away and damages your reputation.

Active Deterrent, Not Passive Parking

Bikeep's 4-layer security actively deters criminal activity on your premises, keeping the wrong people away from your entrance and car park.

Confidence to Return

Give your customers the confidence to return again and again, knowing their bike is as safe as they are inside your store.
