Bergkrystallen housing cooperative focuses on secure bicycle parking with Bikeloop NEST

With the new solution, residents gain access to secure, locked, and organized bicycle parking, making it easier to choose the bicycle for work, school, and leisure activities.

A response to the increasing need for secure bicycle parking

In many housing cooperatives, residents face challenges regarding where to park their bicycles. Bicycles are often left in entrances, storage rooms, or outdoors in courtyard spaces, which can create both space issues and the risk of theft.

With Bikeloop NEST, the housing cooperative receives a solution that provides:

• secure and locked bicycle parking

• better utilization of areas

• easier access for residents

• a tidier courtyard and common areas

The solution is developed for places where many need secure bicycle parking in limited space, making it well-suited for residential areas and housing cooperatives.

Bicycle theft is a challenge in Norway

Bicycle theft remains a widespread problem in Norway. Each year, there are reports of over 16,000 bicycle thefts to insurance companies, and the actual numbers are believed to be higher.

Fear of theft also causes many to leave their bicycles unused. Research shows that perceived risk of theft can be a significant barrier to using a bicycle in everyday life.

By offering safe and dedicated bicycle parking, Bergkrystallen housing cooperative aims to make it easier and safer for residents to use their bicycles.

Make it easier to choose the bicycle

Safe bicycle parking is an important part of the infrastructure that enables bicycle use in everyday life. When the bicycle can be parked safely at home, the threshold for using it for daily errands is lowered.

With Bikeloop NEST, Bergkrystallen housing cooperative is taking a concrete step to facilitate a more active, practical, and sustainable everyday life for residents.
