Bikestation is the leading brand of Mobis and creates the only complete operational ecosystem for bicyclists and bicycling at transit, and in developments, universities and colleges, and corporate campuses. Bikestation facilities offer secure bicycle parking and related services to make cyclists' lives easier, including repair services, equipment and accessory sales, restrooms and showers, and transit and bicycling information.

Andréa and the Mobis/Bikestation team have consulted with public and private entities on multimodal planning and operations throughout North America and in China and Mexico. Andrea speaks at conferences about multimodal design to planning and execution, as well as being a guest lecturer on Social Enterprise at Chapman University. Recently, Andréa spoke at a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington DC regarding the role of the private sector in implementing a new transportation future, alongside various legislators and officials or their staff, including Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, Senator Chris Dodd, and Congressmen Earl Blumenauer and James Oberstar.
