Indoor Bike Storage

Bicycles are not just a means of transportation. They are also an investment in health, convenience, and sustainability. Overall, bikes are rising in popularity as an alternative choice for transportation, including commuting, which is why Colt Gateway has made it a priority to have indoor bike storage for our residents. Properly storing a bike when not in use is essential for its longevity and functionality. It is an excellent reason to ensure your employees and visitors have a safe and secure place to store their bicycles.

When it comes to bike storage, one of the primary decisions to make is whether to keep it indoors or outdoors. Both options have their pros and cons, and choosing the right one depends on various factors such as space availability, security concerns, budget, and specific preferences. At Colt Gateway, we are proud to have indoor bike storage on location.

5 Indoor Bike Storage Benefits

Protection from the Elements

Storing your bike indoors shields it from harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, extreme heat, and UV exposure. All aspects that can accelerate wear and tear. Nothing beats an indoor bike rack in a garage when it comes to protection. At Colt Gateway, when you store your bike, you will not have to worry about your bike facing the elements.

Climate-Controlled

Just as you would want to keep yourself and your belongings in a comfortable and controlled setting, your bike also benefits from a consistent temperature, humidity, and protection from the elements. That’s why indoor, climate-controlled bike storage solutions are a great option to have at your disposal.

Better Security

Indoor storage usually offers greater security against theft and vandalism as opposed to outdoor storage that is left in less secure spots. When bike storage is placed inside a building, this often means that there are at least several more layers of protection. Buildings often have controlled access, security cameras installed and/or security personnel on the perimeter. Getting a bike stolen from inside a storage facility, which is locked, plus a secure bike rack or stand to which the bike is chained, is a tough task for any thief. So you can rest easy knowing your bike is safe.

Convenience

Having your bike indoors means it is ready whenever you need it. All without the hassle of navigating outdoor obstacles or dealing with weather-related delays. Being able to ride into a nice and sheltered place and walk up to your desk beats sticking your bike in the rain and running to the door while trying not to get soaking wet.

Preservation of Components

By keeping your bike indoors, you lower the risk of rust and corrosion on metal components like chains, gears, and bolts. By doing so, you are ultimately prolonging the lifespan of your bike. The reality is that moisture is pretty unavoidable no matter what. However, indoors is significantly drier during all seasons and weather. This means any bikes stored indoors would avoid unnecessary exposure to water.

Space Utilization

Using the indoor space at Colt Gateway makes living here more accessible. You save space by not needing to store your bike in your apartment when you have the ability to store it at our storage center. Thus maximizing your space to live more comfortably.
