Wow! We were speechless when we saw this video showing Michael Lambourn’s brand new SmartLock in action.  It definitely inspires a little of the “now we’ve seen everything” thinking, but we personally welcome any and all additions that discourage bicycle theft. Naturally, Dero believes in secure bike parking for both long term and short term applications. But, the bike rack is only as good as its lock. Kudos to Michael for an exciting (and cool) addition to the world of bicycle protection.

Dero staff planting on the Midtown Greenway

Last week, members of Dero staff participated in their bi-annual Adopt-a-Greenway activities. As part of Dero’s commitment to bicycle advocacy, staff time is given back to the community. In addition to picking up trash and debris, volunteers were lucky enough to do a fall planting of native species on the Midtown Greenway’s Anne Sullivan ramp.  Everyone had fun, especially the dogs, and we’re looking forward to seeing our new plants take hold and grow.
