Bike Rooms and Cages Usually located in the basement or on the ground floor, a special room for bicycle parking can be secure and convenient. A bike cage is a fenced off area in a parking garage. By installing a key or combination lock to access the cage or room, only those who bike to work will have access. Lockers can be included to store helmets and other cycling gear. Rooms and cages provide more security than racks alone and usually cost less than lockers.
Vertical lockers can save space.
