Consider gettings things donated and the sky is the limit.  We were able to get $15k worth of double tiered racks for $1k.

As for locks, they make rolling locking tool chests, we don't have one yet but we hope to get one donated.

Hi All,

UBP just moved into our new space!  Currently all the bikes are leaning against each other (pedals off, handlebars turned) with no easy way to get ones in the middle out.  We have a fairly open floor space and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for building racks that would hold bikes more upright and separate from each other.  The channel systems used by bike shops would be great, but of course we'd rather build something with existing resources and without spending a lot of cash.  We don't have much room for hanging bikes, but will be putting up some kind of cable system like Free Ride has for wheels.

Another quick question.  We are in a shared space situation and are trying to figure out what tools to secure and how.  We have been thinking about putting latches on an old fridge and using that to keep valuables.  In your experience what type of stuff would walk out of your shop if it wasn't bolted down or locked up?  Looking for any and all ideas...

Thanks!

Brian
