Mathieu Labey is an avid cyclist. But every time he leaves his bike somewhere, he keeps a close eye on it. “Worldwide, the cyclist’s number one problem is theft,” sums up the forty-something. Bike theft, but also wheels, the saddle, the bell… It is the main obstacle to its wider adoption.”
To provide a solution to this problem, the cyclist devised a concept for secure parking for two-wheelers and launched his start-up called Wheelskeep. The principle? Mobile racks installed in public spaces where you can lock up your bike, monitored by guards.
