I moved to a condo 2 months ago and have already found an ally on the HOA board to pursue proper bike storage here on the property for those who don't have an outside storage unit (like me).
HOA rules are pretty awful for adding/changing anything in existing structures but there is a large, mostly empty building at the rear of the complex that would totally work. It is currently housing some random junk and the HOA prez told me there was lots of room. My thought was basically lockers big enough to roll a bike into, close the door, slap a padlock on it, and be done. Friend of mine suggested a pod-type unit that would store the bikes vertically, again with a door & padlock.
Having read some threads about bike theft, I see a real need to have the bikes totally secured so seats or wheels or whatever don't get cannibalized. This is a large complex (228 living units) with a wide variety of residents. I doubt they're all perfect little angels.
The rep from the management company that handles our contractors told me they'd helped another complex do this and it took 5 YEARS but they're finally ready to install. That HOA chose to utilize part of a basement laundry facility & use racks. I think that would not work as well for my complex. (read: I am too paranoid to leave my bike locked on a rack.)
So I am soliciting suggestions that abide by those few requirements. I haven't even considered security monitoring (we do have night patrols) or access issues but I am certain one of you brilliant Mustachians can get me headed the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
