Lift and twist is enough to rack a bicycle+

In september 2005, Andrew Lang stood in the block E85 of the notorious Milan 100% Design exhibition. He, his British-native accent, hoping to gain some attention for his new creation: a bicycle rack. At that time, Andrew Lang didn’t know that he would be honored by the D&AD award. But he did.

“It was refreshing to find a simple well-styled, easily manufactured product for which there is an identifiable need.” Lynda Relph-Knight, Editor, Design Week & Judge of D&AD Awards.

Since then, his Cycloc bicycle rack ran into production, assisted by London Remade’s Inspired Recycling programme, a professional association for the promotion of the recycling industry.

The Cycloc is described as: “A stylish and patented cycle storage system suitable for domestic and contract use. It sees an end to bicycles booby trapping hallways.”

There are some other racks available in the market. But the Lang’s one is suitable for many sort of bikes, could support many angles to fit in your apartment or your corridor in the most appropriate position. Its removable plate in the bottom hides the screws, while a simple twist-and-lift movement is all it takes to attach the bike. If more security is needed, there is a hole for locking it up.

The rack is entirely made from 100% recycled post-industrial plastics and is commercialized for 73 euros througout Europe and probably the world.
