1. CYCLE BOKS
The CycleBoks team is a group of young
entrepreneurs who found each other on
Climate-KIC event back in June 2015. We
formed as a group to solve the challenge
of improving bike-parking facilities in
Copenhagen – ranked the best bicycle city
in the world in 2015.
Climate-KIC #Climathon
The Climathon event took place on June
18, 2015, across 20 major cities around
the world. The event was structured as a
24-hour hackathon, but instead of solving
computer problems, we went head-on to
tackle climate challenges. The challenges
differed from city to city depending on local
settings, and for Copenhagen there were
three challenges to choose from: ‘Bike
parking’, ‘Air quality’ and ‘Traffic flow’.
Our Team
Our team consisted of 6 people from 5
different countries: France, Romania, India,
Poland and Norway. Our team formed due

to common interest in biking, and apart
from the couple, Oana and Gabriel, none
of us knew each other
from before. Over the 24
hours we had help from
facilitators and coaches
from Climate-KIC, and
we had many ideations,
developed different business models, and
finally we found our prototype – a shipping
container fitted with bike racks.

of a jury consisting of venture capitalists,
innovation managers and city planers.
What we had focused on - Cradle-to-cradle
design, multi-functionality, mobility and
a serious environmental focus, paid off.
We were selected as the winners of the
Climathon Copenhagen event, and will get
the chance to present our innovation in
Paris, December 6, at Climate-KIC’s COP21
event. Will we see you there?
how can we
provide flexible
and on demand
bike parking for
urban events?

3. CYCLE BOKS
This concept is designed
to address the need for
an ultra-portable, cheap
and easy to use bike rack.
The premise is that it is
easy to install, takes up
little space and has a
low material impact in
production. This ensures
a small footprint on both
production cost and
environmental impact.
A typical costumer of
the minimalistic bike
rack could be an urban
event organizer working
on both low budget and
limited space.

The Functional Bike Rack
provides more than just
portable bike parking.
It serves as the base for
many public services –
free or paid.
With additional modules,
you can expand the
functionality to include
poweroutletforelectrical
bikes, solar panels, smart
locking system and more.
The Functional Bike Rack
could be installed near
public transport hubs, in
proximity to offices and
public buildings, or in the

The Micro Architecture
Bike Rack is designed
to include more social
functionalities. This
could include vegetation,
benches, rental lockers,
traffic and city
information.
The final design of this
solution should be
adapted to local settings,
needs and behavior, and

The placement of such
a bike rack could be

like parks and museums,
or in marginalized
neighborhoods, where it
can serve as a reference
