2763.0. "Bicycle Racks" by KAOA00::KAU138::MCGREGOR () Mon May 02 1994 19:55

Can anyone recommended a bicycle storage rack?

I have approached our Facilities Department about putting in bicycle racks
for our facility. Currently there are none. Just sign posts in the ground.

What are other facilities doing?

Are bikes allowed to be stored in offices?

Any ideas on the cost of racks? 
I've been told due to our financial problem they can look into it but no 
promises. We also have a parking problem so possibly there is a tradeoff.

One design I have seen is a U design in which the bicycles front forks are
placed over the U. The rack looks similar to |UUUUUUUUU|. 

Another idea was brought up was 2 6x6 posts put in the ground on either
ends with a steel post running through them. I can see that this will
limit the number of bikes which can be locked to it.

Does anyone have any comments on these designs?

    	The CTH facility here in Hull has opted with a rack being built
    by;

    	BIKE-UP
    	Bikeup Canada INC.
    	13 Bateman Drive
    	Nepean Ontario
    	K2G 4Z3
    	613 226-6452

    	The racks have not been delivered as of yet, but I have used
    the rack, as they are used by Nepean Parks and Recreation.
