Bike Storage Links

If bicycles, smart design for bike facilities, advocacy and sustainable travel are your thing here are some links just for you!

We hope you like these links. Feel free to send through other interesting/relevant links.
We particularly like ones that feature bicycle storage - the good, the bad and the ugly.

Here at Bike Storage we try hard to convince people that function is just as important
as form. We love a bike rack that works and get excited when we see other people
thinking about it because after all it's often public infrastructure. Here is a gallery
of bad bike racks and why they don't work.
