I would like to know who gives the Good Design award for a bike stand that has no security?

Sure the Meandre by mmcité looks good but it seems to me the most fundamental requirement of a stand in the city would include some kind of security — help prevent bikes from being stolen. Preventing accessories (seat, pedals, etc.) from being stolen would also be nice.

Bike stand Meandre by mmcité has won Good Design Award 2009‘ awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum (Museum of Architecture and Design in Chicago). mmcité product came through in tough competition of world’s famous manufacturers and managed to catch attention of international jury.

I see no practical way to lock the frame, let alone protect the bike parts, in this design.

Aside from the security issues, I also do not see how you would fit more than one or two bikes into this stand. The handlebars, especially on touring and mountain bikes, prevent such a close configuration — it’s a lot of wasted material.
