Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a bicycle storage unit that comprises an enclosure defining an interior compartment that is sized to hold a bicycle. The enclosure has first and second sidewalls, each of the first and second sidewalls having a frame with a curved upper element and one or more side panels. The enclosure also comprises a curved rear panel and a curved door panel, the curved door panel being movable between a closed position and an open position. Embodiments of the bicycle storage unit are configured so that when the door is in the open position, the bicycle storage unit does not take up any more public space than when the door is in the closed position. Moreover, embodiments of the bicycle storage unit include a locking mechanism that allows a user to utilize a conventional bicycle U-lock to secure the door in a closed position.
