    MBA® - Freestanding Weighted Bike Rack

    Anchoring any bike rack to a concrete surface could more than double the cost of your rack project, the New MBA has created an install-free, adaptable, weighted (80LBS) bike and scooter rack that can be professionally moved to accommodate different spacing needs. The MBA can also be relocated over a greater range of surfaces, including decomposed granite, pavers and asphalt.

    Perfect solution for high security, bike parking that requires an adaptable solution. Examples where the MBA makes financial sense are temporary construction projects, sustainable landscaping design and special events that require high security parking.
