The bicycle tender consists of a lime green car shape along the street with five metal racks perpendicularly attached to it. It takes up the space of a single car that would have parked in the same space in the past.

"Our innovative Car Bike Port, originally commissioned by the London Festival of Architecture, has been installed around the UK and in several cities across the World.

The bike rack converts one car space into cycle parking for 10 bicycles. The car shape conveys the message that bicycles are more space efficient than cars, as well as acting as a barrier to protect parked bicycles from cars."
