Designing for Everyone’s Needs

A well-designed bike room considers everyone’s needs, from the property owner looking to get the most value from their space to the end-user seeking convenient, functional and secure bike parking. At ABC Recreation, we work with developers, contractors, building owners, property managers and architects to design bicycle storage rooms in residential and commercial buildings. We supply best-in-class bike racks, repair stations and other furnishings from various suppliers including Dero, Greenspoke and DuMor. Additionally, we have the capability to customize bike racks so they fit perfectly in your space and complement your branding.

With a drawing of your space, including all doors, pillars, low-hanging pipes, obstructions and providing measurements and specifications, our team can quickly create a design that will work for your specific needs. We will also help you navigate codes and capacity requirements, as well as indoor vs. outdoor requirements, to ensure compliance and accessibility for all users.

Whether you are looking for an indoor or outdoor bike storage room, we will design an ideal space that takes into consideration layout, anticipated capacity, styles of bikes to be parked and budget.

Our Design Process

We will help you design a bike room that allows you to get the most out of a predefined space. Alternatively, we can also help you design an efficiently sized room so you have more space for amenities, such as repair stations and air pumps, storage lockers, wash stations, seating and more.

It’s important to carefully note the dimensions and details of your space, including a scalable measurement. This will expedite the drawing of your bike room and avoid issues when it comes time to install.

Submitting an architectural overhead works best, but please include at least one measurement so our designers can appropriately scale the room. Hand-drawings can work too, but they require much more detail.

ABC Recreation is familiar with codes and capacity requirements for various regions. We can make recommendations based on whether the bike room is indoors or outdoors, geared towards short-term or long-term parking, parking ratios and spacing requirements.

Whether you are looking for an indoor or outdoor bike storage room, we will design an ideal space that takes all your needs into consideration.
