Hi All, The Peterborough Community Bike Shop recently moved out of a church basement and into a beautiful space in a historic downtown building. For the first time we find ourselves concerned about the floors! In the summer we have carpet down, but as the wet winter bikes roll in, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for dealing with the ice and snow melt...
Boot mats? Cardboard? Layers of carpet? Custom built trays? What do you use to catch the water with as fenders and frames de-ice in your shop?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Tegan B!KE

I'm looking for ideas as well, here. My boss is generous enough to allow our bicycles in the shop, but I feel guilty letting a snow/ice bike drip all over the place. I was thinking something like the mats bartenders have on the ground? -Rob

In a shop I worked at, we used plastic sleds under the bike while you are working on it. Collects the water, ice and sand, allowing you to throw it outside again.

I buy 2 metal oil drip pans from the autoparts store and join them together with duct tape. They work well and are very durable and have a low profile. I don't scrape them out but once a year and park my messy bikes on them all year long. It is amazing how much salt crystalizes on the bottom over one winter season. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/RHN0/11430.oap?ck=Search_oil+drip+p...

We will move into our new space this spring. The new space includes a bike wash so prior to working on the bikes each will get a wash.
