Hello from Baltimore Youth Kinetic Energy (BYKE)!

We are moving to a new and awesome location, but we’ll be in a basement. We might only be there for 1 year, so major renovations aren’t going to happen.

I have two main concerns:

1. Stairs(full flight, medium width)+ young people+bikes without brakes

-a safe ramp?

-has anyone tried building a kinetically powered platform elevator?

-has anyone tried to build a track to secure a bicycle into and then let it fall with style? having some kind of slowing mechanism?

2. Ventilation codes

-is that for the landlord to figure out?

-regardless: were there any cheap and easy ways to increase ventilation?

Any other unpredictable lessons learned from those who have held DIY bike workshops in basements?

Thanks!

Chavi
