Velhome, safe storage for your bicycle.


Velhome is a startup created by Octave KLEYNJANS and Paul RAVET which offers cyclists a place to store their bicycle and belongings with a community host in a secure location. There are now over 400 hosts


Their website easy to use including an interactive map.


You can either join as a host or guest, Hosts can then offer a secure parking place completely free of charge, or in exchange for payment. 

How it works ? Looking for a host.


Using  the interactive map. you can search for hosts that could match your criteria! Then, in the description of the hosts proposal, click on "Contact me", fill in the necessary information and Velhome will connect you to the host.


Once contact is made hosts can then offer a secure parking place completely free of charge, or in exchange for payment. In all cases, the conditions are discussed before parking.


The presence of the host is compulsory, both when the cyclist drops / collects their bicycle.


The host will also confirm there is a place for your bicycle, some places will not have room for a tandem for example.


How it works ? To Become for a host.


This is done by completing the online application form.


I have not used Velhome,  As  a cyclist it is always a concern when visiting attractions, towns or cities, what do I do with my bicycle and panniers ? Velhome community offers a simple and secure solution.
