Help me spec out an indoor bike rack
Our company asked me to spec out an indoor bike rack ... one of those wall mounted systems where the bike hooks front wheel and lets the bike 'hang' on the wall. The spec request is for 4-6 bikes on the wall with a plastic/vinyl 'tub' to catch water and dirt. Rack should accommodate road to fat tire bikes.
Can someone provide educated recommendation based on experience?
Thank You

If this is for employees, I'd get the individual wall hooks (lots of different ones available) and give ample space between them so people aren't scratching up other people's bikes. Then find a local plastic fabricator to make an inexpensive shallow tub out of polypropylene or similar material to cover the floor area you need.
