No space to store your bicycle?

For most cyclists and commuters, one of the main concerns isn’t about the morning traffic issues, flat tyres or showeringat work, it’s the daily dilemma about where to store your cycle safely when you are not riding it.  And if you live in an apartment or block of flats, then you may be struggling with a suitable storage space for your bicycle and equipment.

 

So how do you store your bike indoors if you have limited space?

To help cyclists solve this problem, you may have already come across a number of creative bike storage solutions that allow for indoor bike storage and they do not take up much room.

•  The Ceiling Mount Bike Hoist

The ceiling area of a room is something that is seldom used if ever so why not transform it with a hanging bike feature? 

Eric liked hanging out with his bike.

 A ceiling mount bike hoist operate with a pulley system so that with minimal effort a bike can be attached at close to ground level and them very simply hoisted up and out of the way when not in use – but you may have to crawl around to avoid head injury!  And don’t forget, some flats or apartment regulations may prevent you from drilling holes on walls or ceilings. 

 • Door / Wall Mount Bike Rack

There are some bike racks designed for indoor use that take up no floor space, such as a door or a wall mountable bike rack.

Eric though he heard someone knock...

 

You wont be tripping over your bike anymore but you cant really open your doors either!

But as convenient as bicycles may be, they are quite bulky and not designed to be on show in your living room!  In addition to that, don’t forget that bringing your muddy bike inside your hallway or room can also be quite messy and can damage your carpet and interiors -  which probably wont be well received by your family!

Eric was a big fan of dirt biking.

We recommend a secure metal bicycle storage unit suitable for apartments and flats, such as the Twin Bike Locker from Asgard.

Eric thought the 'Twin Bike Storage Unit' was the perfect way of storing two bikes securely in a discreet manner.

Designed as a space saving storage unit, this 2 bike store is ideal for areas where space is restricted but bike security is important.  Unlike other bike stores the Twin Bike Locker is accessed from the end so the width of the unit is kept to a minimum – ideal for use down the side of a house or flat.

An outdoor storage solution for your bicycle and equipment frees your home from clutter and dirt bought in with your bike.  You will also find that by storing your bike inside a secure storage unit, it will have fewer maintenance problems, last longer and will operate more efficiently so you and your bike can live happily ever after!
