This Bicycle Washing Machine Will Be Hitting The Streets Of UK Next Year

SB Waschbox, an automatic bicycle cleaning booth is expected to hit streets of UK sometime around next year.

The car-wash style booth may cost you as much as £7.50 ($9.90), but it will give a speedy rinse to your muddy bicycle within no time and did I mention that it will be connected to the internet as well.

The machine is already working in Germany and Austria. However, the prices in these countries range from 4,50 euros (£4/$5.25) to 8,50 euros (£7.50/$9.90).

The SB Waschbox is completely autonomous and the whole cleaning/washing process takes five to ten minutes, as claimed by the company.

‘Next year we are planning to place self-use stations and we will love to install one or more in Cambridge with a suitable partner, I think products like this show that cycling is becoming a more mainstream option for people, Whether you think it’s a good idea or a bad idea, the fact people are seeing an economic opportunity in this shows it is growing and becoming a more normal activity that people are getting involved with on a daily basis. I know a lot of people would be very interested in this’, said a spokesperson for the Cologne-based company, Cycle Wash.
