Bicycle Tree Rack Offers Secure Parking
Now this is a novel idea. When design meets security and practicality then you get the bicycle tree rack. All you have to do is slide the bike on the rack and then press the button to elevate it up the pole. The finger print recognition system ensures that only you can remove the cycle from the pole. This rack is designed to take up to 6 bicycles.
