Parking your bike – Using Ned Kelly bike rails
When using Parkiteer, you should always secure your bike using a high quality lock – we recommend a D-lock. Please also remove any valuable items such as lights, trip computers and panniers.
Check out our video guide to using the Ned Kelly bike rails which are found in all Parkiteer cages.
