TiaanS29 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Recently I moved to cape town CBD in a bachelors apartment. No space for storage of my bike. Anyone from Cape Town which can advise where is the best place to store you bike with easy access to it?
capediver Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 A bachelors apartment only needs 3 things...wifi, bar fridge and bed, all in close proximity...you'll have plenty of space for a bike!!!! Andrew_Smith and Tatt 2
urbanroyal Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Hectic...how small is the apartment. ..no place to hang it on a wall...????
TiaanS29 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 Cant drill in to the walls to fit a bike rack to hang it from. Also on yhe 8th floor so using the elevator and turn style doors at the exit will be an issue.
capediver Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Check out the building, there has to be another way out.......lift is no issue, lift the bike in on its back wheel...I do it every day at work in a tiny lift...just have to be patient to wait for a free space.... Then there's always....... Edited January 7, 2018 by capediver Irons, Tabula Rasa, Hairy and 4 others 7
Dubber Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I'm not sure of any storage areas with easy access within the CBD. The best I can think of is perhaps check if your building (or buildings close by) has basement parking. Maybe they can 'rent' you a corner where you can lock up your bike? Alternatively try a pole bike rack. No drilling necessary. Just twist the pole to extend it until it is tight between floor and ceiling... Nice way to show off your bike too...

Chingy182 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 That doesn't look too bad. Where would you buy a pole like that for bike storage? Dubber 1

Titleist Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Maverick's I'm sure they can work out a "store your bike and get a double ride" special for R200pm. TIB 1

Letum911 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Maverick'sThose are occupied. Well just maybe he can get an occupied one for rent?
