Sportworks offers a variety of complimentary services to help plan your next bicycle parking area. We have worked with hundreds of architects, planners, contractors, owners, and property managers to design and equip bicycle parking areas throughout the United States and Canada. We enjoy sharing our expertise and experience to help design efficient, user friendly, and accessible bicycle parking facilities.

Planning and Consultation:

Our planning and consultation service aims to help architects and planners optimize a bicycle parking area during the design phase, preferably before the floor plans have been finalized. We will provide input for optimizing the available space in the area, including recommendations for placement of doors, restrooms, lockers, and other room structures. One of our bicycle parking experts will work with you via screenshare or phone call to help you with the details of your bicycle parking area. The goal is to help you save time now, reduce rework later, and streamline the creation of an optimize bicycle parking area. Our consultation services are done by appointment only. Please contact our sales and support team to set up an appointment.
