HomeBikePark: parking options

B - Use redundant part of building

Exterior of former laundry room

Unused shops, former laundry rooms or similar spaces can be equipped with 'Sheffield' racks and a secure access system, or a high-density system like double-deck racks.

Pro - Still relatively convenient for owners, with good security. Low conversion costs likely if redundant units are in good state of repair.

Con - Not directly associated with individual users. Visibility of bikes through windows may tempt theft, but on the positive side it will reveal any anti-social or criminal activity inside. Custom manufacture of doors and internal fixings can be required.
