In every city, the largest bicycle fleet already exists.
It belongs to residents, employees, students, tenants and visitors. Much of that fleet, however, remains underused—stored in garages, basements, apartment storage rooms and office bike cages.
The challenge is not always access to a bicycle. The challenge is giving people enough confidence to use the bicycles and e-bikes they already own for more of their everyday trips.
That is the purpose of 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲
Activated Mobility™ starts from a simple reality: communities do not always need to introduce more bicycles to increase cycling.
They can begin by unlocking the potential of the bicycles already in place. This approach complements bike-sharing by addressing a different need. Bike-sharing gives people temporary access to a bicycle. Activated Mobility™ provides the secure, connected infrastructure people need to use their own bicycles and e-bikes more often. For many people, ownership is not the barrier. Confidence at the destination is.
Before leaving home, cyclists still need answers to practical questions:
• Will a secure parking space be available when I arrive?
• Will my bicycle still be there when I return?
• Can I secure the frame, wheels, battery and accessories?
• Where can I leave my helmet and personal belongings?
• Can I recharge my e-bike safely?
When those questions remain unanswered, many potential cycling trips never begin.
𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹
Transportation planning often concentrates on movement: bicycle lanes, trails, intersections, vehicles and public transit connections. But every trip must end somewhere. At the destination, cyclists need secure parking, predictable access and, increasingly, safe e-bike charging.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ addresses this missing part of the journey: the arrival. By combining 𝗩𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 with the 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗢𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 platform, it creates the physical and digital infrastructure required to complete the trip. Velovoute provides secure, individually protected bicycle and e-bike parking, with integrated storage for helmets, batteries, and accessories. Bike Oasis connects users to those destinations through a mobile application that displays available services and the number of available parking spaces in real time. When smart padlocks are installed, users can reserve a specific secure space before beginning their trip. They arrive knowing that a space is waiting for them.

Conventional bicycle parking provides a place to attach a lock. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ transforms that passive infrastructure into a connected service.
It combines:
• Secure bicycle and e-bike parking
• Real-time availability
• Advance reservations
• Smart, keyless access
• Integrated charging services
• Secure battery and accessory storage
• Automated subscriptions and payments
• Usage and transaction data
• Public and private access policies
Each destination displayed in Bike Oasis is represented by an icon identifying the services available at that location, such as secure parking, e-bike charging or bicycle rentals. Users can understand what is available before travelling and confirm the number of open spaces in real time.

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ is designed to minimize operational burden. Property owners and operators define their access policies, eligible users, available services, and applicable rates. Bike Oasis then manages access, reservations, subscriptions and payments where applicable. There is no need to manually distribute keys, supervise each transaction, or administer every user request.
The system can support:
• Public access
• Residents and tenants
• Employees
• Students
• Authorized private groups
• Hourly or daily rates
• Monthly or seasonal subscriptions
• Complimentary access
• Paid parking and charging
This flexibility allows each destination to operate according to its own objectives.

The growth of e-bike ownership creates new responsibilities for building owners, residential operators and employers. Batteries are valuable, heavy and sensitive electronic components. Improper charging, damaged batteries or incompatible charging equipment can increase fire risk. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ provides a safer alternative to charging and storing batteries inside apartments, offices, hallways or common interior spaces.
By locating bicycle parking, battery storage and charging infrastructure in a dedicated, ventilated and controlled environment, building operators can reduce the risks associated with unmanaged indoor charging. For tenants and employees, this creates a more convenient and reassuring experience. For building owners, it supports clearer policies, better control and improved risk management.

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ is built around a profit-sharing model rather than an ongoing cost-sharing model.
Instead of requiring participating organizations to continually absorb operating expenses, it creates a framework in which infrastructure owners, operators and platform partners share in the value generated by the service.
Revenue can come from:
• Secure parking
• E-bike charging
• Hourly or daily access
• Subscriptions
• Tenant or employee mobility programs
• Additional mobility services
Organizations can also choose to provide access at no charge where the strategic value lies in tenant satisfaction, employee benefits, transportation-demand management or ESG performance.
The operating model remains flexible, but the infrastructure is designed to create measurable value.

For cyclists, 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ provides confidence and convenience.
They can:
• Find secure destinations
• See available services
• Confirm availability in real time
• Reserve a secure space
• Access the space through the app
• Store helmets, batteries and accessories
• Recharge an e-bike where available
• Pay through the platform when required
Most importantly, they can use a bicycle or e-bike they already know, trust and have selected for their own needs.

For municipalities and public agencies, 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ offers a practical way to expand active mobility without creating a new bicycle fleet.
It can:
• Support existing cycling infrastructure
• Improve first- and last-kilometre connections
• Reduce bicycle theft concerns
• Create secure destinations near transit and public facilities
• Generate measurable usage data
• Expand incrementally, one site at a time
• Connect public and private destinations
• Reduce fleet-related maintenance and redistribution costs
• Support climate and congestion objectives
A municipality can begin with one strategic destination and expand the network as demand becomes visible.

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ is not intended to replace every existing mobility service.
It complements public transit, cycling infrastructure, bike-sharing and other transportation options by serving people who prefer to use their own bicycles and e-bikes. Bike-sharing provides access to a shared bicycle.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ provides confidence at the destination. Together, these approaches can serve different users, different trips and different mobility needs.

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ does not require a large system-wide deployment at the outset.
It can begin with:
• One residential building
• One workplace
• One transit station
• One municipal facility
• One campus
• One hotel
• One trailhead
• One commercial destination
Additional sites can be added progressively. Through Bike Oasis, these individual destinations become part of a connected network of secure parking, charging and mobility services.

Cities and organizations do not necessarily need to begin by purchasing more bicycles. They can begin by helping people use the bicycles and e-bikes they already own. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆™ creates value by connecting those bicycles with the secure destinations people need. Users gain confidence and convenience. Municipalities expand active mobility with a lower operational burden. Property owners and operators benefit from a connected, measurable, and revenue-generating service.
