What's the best secure bike parking for apartments?

The storage problem apartment residents face


Apartment residents are among the most underserved groups when it comes to bike storage. No garage, no garden, no easy ground-floor access, and carrying a bike up several flights of stairs is not a practical daily routine, particularly with an e-bike.


The answer depends on what space is available. If the building has an unused courtyard, underground car park, or communal area, an internal secure storage room is often the most practical option. Where outdoor space is available on or near the plot, a bike hangar is a good fit.

On-street Fietshangars give apartment residents secure bike parking without requiring indoor space.

On-street and outdoor options


For on-street deployment near apartments, Fietshangar is the leading certified option. It fits four to six bikes in a single car-parking-space footprint, uses a certified 2-point locking system, and is available with solid or perforated side panels depending on whether visibility is a concern.


Residents' associations (VvE in the Netherlands) can purchase a Fietshangar directly. The unit is delivered pre-assembled or in sections, installed by bolting to the ground or with an underground frame, and requires no connection to utilities.
