The owner of the building I work in was asking for suggestions for bike racks (and where to source them) to install to allow tenants to lock up their bikes in our parkade.  Probably looking for normal (horizontal) options although it would be interesting to hear if anyone has seen any good vertical options that still allow secure locking.  Suggestions appreciated!

We had some similar to these installed at our workplace a few years ago. Im not sure if they are exactly the same, but it at least doubles your bike room capacity if space is tight.

We have something like the Tau in our parking garage at my condo. The downside is that it's hard to hang bikes with fenders.

Urban Racks seems to be the go to company in Vancouver for stacked bike spaces.

Ah yes. This is the company that supplied ours I would think. We have the 'Urban Double Stacker - Standard Aisle'. It converted our bike room from being able to hold ~20 bikes in traditional racks to 52 bikes with the stackers. Granted the traditional racks weren't very well spaced or organized, but the capacity increase was impressive.

Thanks for the suggestions!  Since we have room to go horizontal, we are likely going to try getting one or more of the Dobra Designs Pi multi "outdoor" racks.

This has got me thinking that I still need to figure out a way to securely lock my bike inside my house (I got my mountain bike stolen in a break in earlier this year).  I've beefed up my general security significantly but would still like to have a way to lock the bike up that would make it even harder to steal.
