A new system of bike storage debuts in Palo Alto and Redwood City, CA next week. The Bike Arc aims to be more elegant and space-saving than the standard U-shaped rack.
"The Bike Arc is a simple curved unit that combines the space-saving quality of hanging systems with a much easier to maneuver roll-in-place design. The units can be configured in a variety of ways to suit different urban conditions: standing alone as the circular umbrella arc; incorporated into bus shelters; or fully covered in the double-loaded tube design.'
