What is BikeLink?
BikeLink™ is an integrated management and
multi-platform software system designed to facilitate
both on-demand secure bike parking and deployment of
rental bikes. BikeLink™ integrates smart
microelectronics, wireless mesh networking, cellular
technology, and relational databases with administrative procedures and access control systems. BikeLink™ can
be used as an operating system for eLockers™, eCages™,
eRacks™, or with eLock retrofit kits for existing
mechanically keyed bike lockers.
The Benefits of BikeLink™

• Use with lockers, racks, or cage enclosures.
• All components run on AC power or batteries.
• Works with and without a network.
• Membership-based access control is not required.
Ease of Use
• Clear, intuitive user interface.
• Faster to use than a mechanical bike lock or locker.
Interoperability
• Cardholder can access a national network of facilities. • System supports a variety of card types.
Low Operating Cost
• The BikeLink system has been continuously refined to
minimize administration, service, cleaning, power, and
communications costs.

The BikeLink™ Card
The BikeLink™ Card acts as both a debit device and access key. It is smart and it never expires. It stores rental information which can help a user if they forget where they parked, and deters several types of system abuses by
preventing multiple simultaneous rentals.
As indicated on its back, use of the BikeLink™ Card invokes the BikeLink™ Cardholder Agreement, which can be viewed at www.bikelink.org.

How On-Demand Bike Parking Works:
Insert card
Park your bike
End rental
The BikeLink™ Card is sold online at
www.bikelink.org, by local facility owners,
nearby businesses, or vending machines.
The screen guides you through a very quick
process to start your rental. It’s like using a
parking meter.
Once there’s time on the meter, the door
opens. Put your bike inside, close the door,
and walk away. Your bike remains secure even
if the meter expires.
Insert your card, get your bike, and get your
refund! Unlike a parking meter, any time you
don’t use is refunded. If your meter expires
you are simply charged for the extra time at a
higher rate.

How Automated Bike Rental Works:
Insert card
Remove rental bike
End rental
To facilitate insurance or security deposit
requirements, the bike fleet owner may require
your card be tagged with an extra electronic
access code. You can get a code for your card
over the phone, on the web, or by purchasing
your card directly from the bike fleet owner.
The screen guides you through a very quick
process to select a bike and start your rental.
When you start your rental, if you’re using an
eLocker the door opens. If you’re using an
eRack, your selected bike is released.
You can return your bike to a different
location from where you rented it. If you’re
using an eLocker, insert your card, view and
accept your receipt, replace bike and attach
docking device. If you’re using an eRack, just
dock your bike at any slot and then insert
your card to view your receipt and close out
the transaction.
