Flagged for Cleanup

[edit]

Happened across the page, and while I'm hesitant to flag it for notability, the tone and information supplied is definitely borderline advertisement. Nitsuaeekcm (talk) 00:59, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it, or add a section on controversy

[edit]

This article is just advertising - for a failed product. If it's to be retained, it would be appropriate to comment on the apparent commercial failure and the technical issues involved, to wit:

  • The unfortunate shape does not allow for Sheldon Brown's optimum locking strategy: [1]
  • The design greatly increases the sidewalk square footage required to park a bicycle.
  • The design can expose wheels and other components to destructive forces.
  • Bike Arcs are far more expensive that alternatives.
  • The Bike Arc design blocks many basic anti-theft techniques.
