Secure bicycle shelters make life easier for cyclists in Belgium
- 2 secure bicycle shelters
- 80 bike parking spaces
The town of Marche-en-Famenne has placed its trust in Altinnova by choosing to install ALTAO® Spacio bicycle shelters to offer cyclists a secure parking solution.
This installation is a perfect illustration of Altinnova’s expertise in designing reliable, practical bicycle infrastructure tailored to the needs of local authorities.

Quality and safety: shelters designed to last
ALTAO® Spacio bicycle lockers are designed to provide effective protection against theft and bad weather:
- Closed, secure steel structures to protect a large number of bicycles from theft and the elements
- Optima V10 double-deck parking racks: optimise the space available and provide space for 40 bikes per rack.
- Security system: access control via smartphone
- Capacity of 40 bicycles per shelter, including electric-assist bicycles
Easily accessible, the two new secure cycle parks have been installed in strategic locations in the town of Marche-en-Famenne: Place de la 7ème Brigade and next to the Town Hall.
A fluid, intuitive user experience
Altinnova puts the user at the centre of its approach:
- Opening via smartphone for all subscribers, no physical key required
- Slot for holding the bike when opening the shelter
- Easy to use thanks to assisted lifting by gas jack and telescopic rail on cycle parking racks.
- Robust attachment point for the user’s personalanti-theft device , guaranteeing maximum security
Cyclists benefit from easy, secure and convenient parking, reducing the stress associated with theft and encouraging daily cycling.
Concrete benefits for the community in favour of active mobility

- Encouraging active mobility and simplifying everyday cycling
- Optimisation of space thanks to double-deck racks, reducing the need for car parking
