These are great, but at its core these are covered bicycle parking, you chain your bike inside the shelter. The shelter themselves are not locked, at least the ones I have come across and you generally share them with your surrounding neighbors as a communal bike storage.
These are perfect for residential and mixed use areas surrounded by low-rise to mid-rise developments, and help keep a bicycle dry, out of the elements, and organized. Especially in areas where larger city covered structures might not be as practical.
For example, something like this is very common infront a business/commercial building. These provide the same functionality with protection from the elements, organization, and a place to lock your bicycle to. These can also work infront of shopping centers or grocery stores.
Now indoor bicycle parking in a city center, take a look at this place in Amsterdam. I was blown away seeing this in person when I had a chance to visit.
Also worth showing these bike lockers. They are more secure in that each locker stores one average sized bicycle. These take up a little more place but do provide the extra security and have been used in a bunch of places around my area.

We have these exact same style of sheds but locked. Spots are rented out by the gemeente and everyone in the shed has a key.
Waitlist is usually on the order of years, unfortunately.
Cool, homeless shelters!
