bicycle locker
A bicycle locker or bike box is a locker or box in which a single bicycle can be placed and locked in. They are usually provided at places where numerous cyclists need bike parking for extended times (such as during the working day or at university),〔(Riding Your Bike to Work or School - On-Campus Bike Lockers ) (from the University of Washington website. Accessed 2008-08-25.)〕 yet where the bikes might otherwise get damaged or stolen (such as at public bus terminals).
Bike boxes are considered the highest standard of bike safety (better than locked compounds or simple bike stands) because they prevent not only theft, but also casual vandalism.〔''Australian Standard AS 2890.3 – 1993 Parking Facilities Part 3: Bicycle Parking''〕
== Shapes ==
Lockers are usually either rectangular boxes or formed as triangles where the handlebars of the bicycle are on the wide side of the triangle. Triangle wedged shaped lockers can also be combined to form a rectangular box with two individual lockers facing back to back. They can also be arranged in a circular pattern around a centre point or fanning out from a corner. Some lockers can also be installed in a straight line standing shoulder to shoulder. Some rarer types are either upright like school lockers (which requires the bicycle to be suspended from a hook inside) or are stacked twice high, with some attendant difficulties in inserting and removing bikes in the top row.
Bike Lockers are usually built with solid sides to protect against weather, vandalism and theft. However, problems encountered with this approach (such as being used by homeless people as sleepouts, or for the storage of things other than bicycles) have led to newer designs which incorporate windows or grilles through which inspection staff can see inside.
