| By Kristi Arellano The Denver Post Use phone to find storage for bikes (Denver August 17, 2005) Denver-based Clancy Systems International Inc. - the company behind the infamous Denver Boot - is rolling out a system that lets bike riders reserve and pay for bike lockers using their mobile phones. Registered users search online for available bike lockers, call in to retrieve access codes and dial back in for additional codes to retrieve their bikes at the end of the day. The customer's phone number is linked to his or her account, and users are billed monthly for their bike-locker use. The monthly bill includes the locker fee of $2 per day plus a 10 percent convenience fee. Users also pay a $5.95 annual fee for their accounts, which also allow them to access the company's park-by-phone auto parking system. The company has a handful of lockers in downtown Denver and is in negotiations to place additional units throughout the city, said Stan Wolfson, president of Clancy Systems. The system is already in use by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority, Bay Area Rapid Transit District in San Francisco and at colleges including the University of California, Los Angeles.
