Dero Celebrates 25 Years of Bike Parking

As 2020 fades into our (helmet-mounted) rearview mirror, we’re taking a moment to reflect. It’s been a turbulent year, but we are proud to celebrate our 25th year making quality, secure bike parking! From our humble beginnings above a bar on the University of Minnesota campus, to our growth into micromobility and beyond, our team is as committed as ever to bring you innovative products by cyclists, for cyclists.

Below are a few then-and-now reflections and milestones as we have grown over the past quarter century. Thanks for joining us for the ride!

Our first bike rack, now called the Helix Rack, has undergone a few changes over the years.

swerve rack iterations

The Swerve Rack, another of our classic designs, hasn’t changed much since 1995.

fixit iterations

In contrast, the Fixit repair stand has seen several revisions during its lifetime.

Twenty-five years later, we still pride ourselves in our custom bike racks. If you have a design you want to see made into a rack, let us know!

Despite the challenges this year presented, we are also proud to have introduced significant redesigns to several of our popular products.

Our modular Dero Parklet received an update so it’s even easier to assemble. Designed to create expandable public space, the Parklet has helped restaurants and cafes expand their outdoor seating capacities.

public bike pumps

Lastly, our signature line of Air Kits received major updates with sturdier internals and our durable all-metal Dero Metal Head™ pump head.

Thanks again to you, our loyal customers for supporting us throughout our 25 years of business. Our team is as driven as ever to keep bringing you quality and functional bicycle parking and streetscape infrastructure.
