English term or phrase: bicycle lockers
Me result muy dificil traducir "lockers" para bicicletas. Casillero/s seria mas bien un lugar donde dejar la ropa u objetos personales como por ejemplo en un gimnasio.

Que tal habitaculo?

Muchas gracias por adelantado

English translation:lockers
Explanation:
The U.S. bicycle locker manufacturers / sellers use the term "locker", and "enclosure" in reference to bicycle lockers.

The word 'containers', or 'contenedores' applies, but I would also use/add the English word "lockers".

Thanks Demi, it's a very close term, although "contenedores" in Spanish (Spain) it's usually used to dispose garbage.
