PlantLock frees up cluttered hallways and stairwells by offering a solid planter to lock your bike to. As well as providing safe and tidy bike storage, PlantLock transforms the front yard to a green space. (PlantLock can also be used in back gardens, balconies, communal gardens and other maintained public places.)

PlantLock constitutes an “immovable object” to lock bicycles to, weighing 75+kg when planted up.

PlantLock accommodates most bicycle types on the market. Bicycle frame and both wheels can be secured to the bar with the owner’s existing locks – ideally two quality locks of different types, as recommended by SoldSecure. PlantLock requires minimum maintenance, being made from robust, durable materials. The locking bar is made from boron steel, case-hardened and tempered, to achieve robustness beyond most commercially available bicycle locks. Each PlantLock accommodates 2 bicycles, and is available in a range of subtle colours.

PlantLock planting: PlantLock is suitable for growing a wide range of flowering plants, hardy shrubs, fragrant herbs, and alternatively, low maintenance, drought tolerant planting.

PlantLock is best positioned in a well lit location, in open view from inside and outside the house, avoiding blind spots and shadows from trees and other visual obstructions. 
For permanent fixture, PlantLock can be attached to the ground, using fixing holes.

PlantLock £135 (£117.40 + vat)

Cycle Parking: an open letter

6 Replies

Dear Tracy Davison,

Some while ago you asked me for my views concerning proposed cycle parking in St. Margarets Place. I forgot to mention it at the time but I can foresee a problem arising. The southern side of SMP can become a vehicle park when an exhibition is in progress. With no railings on that side of the road vehicles mount the pavement and park obstructing pedestrian use. At present the northern side is protected by railings effectively discouraging parking on that side of the road.

Personally I would like to avoid a plan that without intention encourages vehicles to park on the pavement by virtue of the build-out proposed for cycles. The southern side pavement has been compressed by vehicles with many of the paving slabs broken. Through Mary Mears I am trying to encourage the council to repair the pavement and erect fencing on the southern side to eliminate the problem of parking and damage. Therefore can I propose that the proposed build-
out is accompanied with the erection of railings on the southern side? As I am sure you are aware parking and loading is prohibited in the street 24 hours per day. This proposal will in effect become the means for that enforcement.
