On the ViaRhôna, stop leaving your bike on the street.

From Lyon to Valence, find a secure storage spot at every stage, with a certified local business or resident, with e-bike charging if you need it

Why on the ViaRhôna

815 km, 2.8 million passages a year, a long route exposed to the wind. Theft remains cyclists’ number one fear: you no longer leave your bike locked up outside for a lunch or a visit. SafeKeeper puts a trusted storage spot within reach of your handlebars.
