Bike rooms outfitted with Dero bike racks offer a modern solution for apartment buildings and campus settings, enhancing the quality of living and promoting a greener lifestyle. Here’s how:

 Secure Bike Storage

2. Maximized Space Use: Dero’s innovative bike racks, such as vertical hanging or double-tiered systems, make the most out of limited spaces, allowing more bikes to be stored in a smaller area.
3. Clutter-Free Common Areas: By providing a dedicated space for bike storage, bike rooms keep hallways, stairwells, and common areas free from the clutter and obstructions caused by improperly stored bikes.

Enhanced Property Value
