Entrepreneur Finds Niche With Temporary Bike Parking
If you think it’s hard to find a bike parking spot around town, try finding one at an event (especially if it’s bike-related). Last March, a local entrepreneur set out to solve that problem and so far his business has been “amazing”.
Jeff Castro, a former product designer (with stints at Harley Davidson and Yakima), took a bit of a gamble when he invested in a concept called BikeRacker. The idea was to provide a turn-key, secure, easy-to-use, temporary bike parking solution.
With the busy summer season behind him, I caught up with Castro recently to ask how things have gone.
He says “it’s been an amazing first year” and that he’s provided services to 15 events including the Tour De Fat, Sunday Parkways, Symphony in the Park, and an event at the Oregon Zoo. More.
