As I sipped my coffee and looked out at the multitude of bicycles below, a passerby caught my eye. He took several minutes to lock his bike securely with a piece of metal, prompting me to wonder: why do we still use traditional locks and chains? Wouldn't it be better to have smart garages for bicycles? This way, bikes would stay safe and our views wouldn't be cluttered with scattered bicycles. It's about practicality and making our surroundings more organized and pleasant.

Smart garage features would contain:

The sight of bicycles scattered throughout the garden isn't ideal for enjoying its beauty. I imagine a large container acting as a garage for bicycles, equipped with a user-friendly access system. Each bike owner would have a reserved spot tied to their ID. When they scan their ID whether digital or physical their bicycle would be automatically retrieved and ready for use. This practical solution would tidy up the area, making it more organized and visually appealing while ensuring bikes are secure and easily accessible.

I thought of another idea for those who want to keep their bicycles nearby: a smart keychain that lets you lock your bike automatically using your phone or device. It's a straightforward way to add convenience and security, blending technology with everyday life to make things easier while keeping our surroundings neat and peaceful.
