Abstract

The main problem we all found was storage of bikes in small spaces, especially in urban areas where finding room for the bike is always a problem. The existing wall-mounted racks among other solutions rarely help in utilizing space in small environments. By researching products and patents, we sought to design a space-saving bike storage solution that works in apartments, bedrooms, and garages. A compact design, easily adjustable, more affordable, and adaptable in various spaces is our design. Testing 3D printed prototypes, improvements will be designed upon users' feedback. The problem it solves: Our solution addresses the growing need for bike storage as bike ownership increases in cities.
