Angers, PDL is conducting a nine-month trial of fully automated and secure bicycle parking hives
The city of Angers installed "Bicycle Hives" the first fully automated bicycle parking structure in France. The bicycle hives guarantee secure parking because nobody has access to the storage space. The bikes are dropped off and collected in an airlock which is accessible via a code sent on the mobile app when the user reserves a parking space. The city is conducting a nine-month trial of the bicycle hives before opening them to the public.
