Bikeloop launch in Helsinki, Finland

Cyclists in Helsinki now have a new, secure, and smart way to park their bikes. Bikeloop is opening today its new bicycle parking facility in a central location in front of Kiasma, near the Baana bike path, Helsinki Music Centre, and Helsinki Central Station.

ÅTTE SYKKELROM ER TILGJENGELIG: Syklister i Helsinki kan parkere sykkelen sin trygt.

The bicycle parking facility, which can accommodate up to eight bikes, is designed to offer secure and convenient bicycle parking. The service can be reserved via the Bikeloop app, allowing cyclists to secure a spot for their bike in advance and park safely.

This new facility is the result of Bikeloop’s victory in a competition organized by Mobility Lab Helsinki, a project launched by Forum Virium Helsinki and Business Helsinki. Out of 22 participating providers, Bikeloop’s innovative solution was selected for its ability to improve bicycle parking and promote increased cycling in the city.

-Improving bicycle parking infrastructure is essential to promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transport, says Jussi Knuuttila, Project Manager at Forum Virium Helsinki. Secure bicycle parking reduces the risk of theft, which can help increase the number of active cyclists in the city.

To mark the launch, Hedda Heyerdahl and Richard Dirdal from Bikeloop will be present at the facility on Friday, September 13, at 9:00 AM, where they will demonstrate how cyclists can reserve and use the bicycle parking.

With this launch, Helsinki takes an important step toward making bicycle parking easier and more secure while offering an innovative solution for cyclists in the capital.
