Today's NY Post has a good article by Lois Weiss about commercial buildings providing bike storage in buildings throughout NYC. Commercial and Residential building have the same challenge to create more space for additional bike that bike lanes has created.
Many building have waiting lists for the bike room. Old style bike racks quickly fill up the bike room. today's urgent need is to maximize the space, Be user friendly and within code. The best solution is
wall mount bike brackets. They allow each bike to be stored just 12" apart. Doubling the space in existing bike rooms. If bikes are stored more than 12"apart the room will be inefficient in the long run. The good news is wall mount is less expensive, Has a lifetime warranty and comes with a 6' long vinyl coated cable for each bike owner to lock the bike up with. Bike Room Management is essential. Gale's provides bike room control charts and number plates. This allows management to assign spots for all and keep the floor clear.
Many building now charge a rental for storage averaging $9. per month, This keeps the room in order, And also helps create income for other expenses. Typically the investment in wall mount storage pays for itself in 4 months. Earning income for the building thereafter.
