It appears my organsation has a bit of a problem with too many bikes in the racks and not just ones that sit there rusting, they actually go away every night.

Space is naturally limited (there are only 4 car park spaces) and we currently have a space about 10 m long and just wide enough to get a bike in. Does anyone have any ideas about solutions other than Sheffield stands that will let us get more bikes in?

  • How about something along the same lines as a cyclepod? , although I think the cyclepod might be too big to fit into the space you have available :?

    Edit: Just looked at cyclepod's own website and they have some interesting alternatives, like the rotatingpod which doesn't require 360 degree access, and the wallpod which may not be exactly what you are after, but looks interesting and is available in multiples of 1 as opposed to 8 like the other systems.

    I know we're on the other side of the planet, but Bicycle Victoria's handbook has some great suggestions and rack designs.

    Get a propstand for your bike and park it in one of the 4 parking spaces:0) :lol:

  • On the prop stand front what about the Acor folding race stand on pg 69 of C+ 203? Have you enough space to fit the wall hangers? That's where I hang my other bikes at home.
