We have space in the basement for storage for some (not all) of the bicycles used/owned by shareholders. I'd be interested in hearing how other buildings manage this amenity -- including, among other things, who gets to store his/her bike there, for how long, is there a fee or is it free, how do you handle requests for storage that cannot be accommodated, what kind of bike racks do you use and how well do they work.
we charge $4 a month. Keeping it affordable. IMPORTANT - you need some horizontle storage as not everyone can lift a heavy bike. we forgot to do this and then had to re-do it so th people with back problems did not have to lift their bike.
Our building uses vertical storage - you can get a lot more bikes hanging from hooks than in racks in the same space. Fees are monthly, charged on maintenance bill. Haven't run out of hooks yet...
Could you tell me how much you charge?

In my building the shareholder asks me (Resident Manager) and I put them on the waiting list. If their is a space available I assign them a hook number and then management charges them $10.00 per month on their maintenance.
