These Bike Racks Hide in the Pavement When Not in Use

The bike rack is clunky eyesore. Found throughout cities and shore towns, these racks add messiness to an area even when not in use. Milou Bergs, a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, is on a mission to rid the world of these metal monstrosities. The solution? Align. Align is project centered around eliminating this unnecessary noise via a series of pop-up bike racks. The racks hide in the pavement when not in use and pop-up like a seesaw when the front wheel is pressed down into one. Not only does it mean a cleaner look, but it means a useable area when there are no bikes present.
