Vertical Bike Rack

Premium vertical bike rack for commercial, municipal, and residential use across Canada.

Vertical Bike Racks: Space-Saving Storage

Vertical bike racks store bicycles in an upright position, with the front wheel hooked onto a wall-mounted or freestanding support. This orientation uses just 150-200 mm of wall width per bike compared to 600 mm for horizontal storage, making vertical racks the most space-efficient option for indoor bike rooms, garages, and apartments.

Types of Vertical Racks

Wall-mounted vertical hooks are the simplest design — a single rubber-coated hook at 1.5-1.8 m height holds the front wheel. Spring-loaded vertical systems feature a pivoting arm that makes lifting the bike easier, reducing the effort to hang heavy bikes. Freestanding vertical stands lean the bike vertically against a support frame without wall mounting — ideal for renters.

Wall-mounted bike racks with bikes stored vertically in an indoor bike storage room

Wall Mounted Bike Racks

Wall-mounted bike racks are the ultimate space-saving solution for indoor and outdoor bicycle storage in Canada. Designed to hold bicycles vertically or horizontally against any wall surface, these racks free up valuable floor space in garages, apartments, condominiums, commercial buildings, and bike rooms. Our wall-mounted systems are constructed from heavy-duty powder-coated steel that resists rust and corrosion even in Canada's harsh winter climate, with rubber-coated hooks and cradles that protect your bicycle's frame and finish from scratches and damage. Each wall-mounted rack supports up to 50 lbs per bike, accommodating everything from lightweight road bikes to heavier hybrid and commuter bicycles. The mounting hardware is tamper-resistant and designed for concrete, wood stud, and steel beam installations, ensuring your bikes stay securely in place. Vertical wall-mount configurations hold the bike by the front wheel, reducing the wall footprint to just 18 inches of horizontal space per bicycle, while horizontal configurations cradle the frame at two points for easy access and a clean display appearance. Wall-mounted bike racks are ideal for residential use in small condos and apartments where floor space is at a premium, as well as commercial applications in office buildings, retail stores, and fitness centres where employees and customers need secure indoor parking. Property managers across Canada choose wall-mounted systems for bike rooms in multi-residential buildings because they maximize the number of bicycles that can be stored in a given area while maintaining clear sightlines for security cameras. Installation is straightforward with our included mounting template, lag bolts, and detailed instructions — most installations take under 30 minutes per rack with basic hand tools. BikeRacks.ca offers single-bike hooks, double-bike vertical racks, and multi-bike wall rail systems that can accommodate up to 10 bicycles along a single wall, making them the most versatile category in our product line. All wall-mounted racks ship with a 10-year structural warranty, and our customer support team provides free phone and email guidance on choosing the right configuration for your space. Whether you need a single bike hook for a downtown Toronto condo, a 10-bike rail system for a Vancouver office bike room, or a bulk order for a Calgary property management portfolio, BikeRacks.ca delivers fast with competitive pricing and expert advice on every order. We also offer custom powder-coat colours for wall-mounted racks to match your interior design or corporate branding, with a minimum order of just 5 units for custom colour production. Contact our team today for a free consultation on the best wall-mounted bike rack solution for your specific space and budget requirements.

Covered bike shelter with metal roof protecting parked bicycles from weather
$1,500-$8,000

Bike Shelters & Covered Parking

Bike shelters provide weather-protected bicycle parking that shields bikes from rain, snow, sleet, and UV damage while keeping them visible and accessible. In Canada's challenging climate — where winter storms can dump 30 cm of snow overnight and spring rain can last for days — covered bike parking is essential for encouraging year-round cycling at workplaces, transit stations, schools, and residential complexes. Our bike shelter systems feature clear polycarbonate or corrugated steel roofing panels supported by rust-resistant aluminum or galvanized steel frames. The polycarbonate option provides natural light transmission while blocking UV rays that degrade bicycle tires and seats, while the steel roofing option offers maximum durability for high-snow-load areas in Northern Ontario, the Prairies, and Quebec. Optional side panels provide wind protection without fully enclosing the shelter, maintaining the open, visible design that deters theft and meets fire code requirements. Bike shelters are available in modular configurations that accommodate 6, 10, 20, 30, or 40 bicycles, and multiple modules can be connected end-to-end for larger installations. The modular design means you can start with a smaller shelter and expand as cycling demand grows — a common pattern for Canadian employers implementing corporate sustainability and active transportation programs. Each shelter includes integrated bike racks (inverted-U or wave style) bolted to a concrete pad, with optional add-ons including LED lighting for safety, security camera mounting brackets, and electric vehicle charging connections for e-bikes. Custom colour options allow shelters to match corporate branding, municipal design standards, or building aesthetics. Our engineering team provides stamped structural drawings for building permit applications and can calculate snow loads, wind loads, and foundation requirements for any location in Canada. BikeRacks.ca handles the complete process from site assessment and design through manufacturing, delivery, and professional installation by certified crews in major cities across Canada. Our bike shelters carry a 10-year structural warranty on the frame and a 5-year warranty on roofing panels. We maintain an inventory of replacement panels and components for all current models, ensuring long-term serviceability. For transit agencies and large corporate clients, we offer maintenance contracts that include annual inspections and proactive component replacement to keep your bike shelter in optimal condition year after year. Bike shelters are increasingly required by municipal bylaws for new commercial and institutional developments, and our team helps architects and developers specify the right shelter configuration to meet code requirements while complementing building design aesthetics. With roofing options rated for snow loads from 30 to 100 psf depending on your location in Canada, our engineering team ensures your shelter is properly specified for local building code compliance from the start.

Secure outdoor bike lockers with individual locking compartments for bicycle storage
$800-$2,500

Bike Lockers & Secure Storage

Bike lockers provide the highest level of security for bicycle storage, fully enclosing each bicycle in an individual lockable compartment that protects against theft, vandalism, and weather damage. Unlike open bike racks where bikes are exposed to the elements and visible to potential thieves, bike lockers create a private, sealed environment where a cyclist's bicycle, helmet, panniers, and accessories remain completely hidden and protected. Our bike lockers are constructed from heavy-gauge ventilated steel panels with a durable powder-coated or galvanized finish that resists corrosion in all Canadian weather conditions. Interior dimensions of 72" × 30" × 48" comfortably fit any standard bicycle including e-bikes, cargo bikes with smaller frames, and bicycles with accessories like baskets, lights, and child seats attached. Ventilation slots in the panels prevent moisture buildup and condensation that can cause rust on bicycle components, while maintaining the visual privacy of the locker contents. Lock options include traditional keyed cylinder locks, combination padlock hasps, and modern electronic smart locks with RFID card or smartphone app access that allow administrators to manage user access, track usage, and remotely unlock lockers when needed. Electronic systems are particularly popular with transit agencies, universities, and corporate campuses that need to manage locker assignments for hundreds of users. Bike lockers can be installed individually or in banks of 4, 6, 8, or more units, and stackable two-tier configurations double the storage capacity in the same floor area. Surface-mounted models bolt to existing concrete, while some designs include integrated levelling feet for uneven surfaces. BikeRacks.ca supplies bike lockers to GO Transit stations, university campuses, hospitals, and corporate headquarters across Canada where employees and commuters demand secure, weather-protected bicycle storage. Our team assists with site planning, ADA/AODA accessibility compliance, and municipal permit applications. Bike lockers are built to last with a 10-year structural warranty and electronic lock systems warranted for 5 years. We stock replacement keys, lock cylinders, and electronic access control components for all current models. For transit agencies managing hundreds of lockers across multiple stations, we provide fleet management software integration and centralized access control administration that simplifies user registration, payment processing, and maintenance scheduling. Whether you need a single locker for a private parking spot or a 200-unit installation at a major transit hub, BikeRacks.ca provides the product, engineering, and support to deliver a successful bike locker project on time and on budget anywhere in Canada. Our electronic lock options integrate with most building access control systems, allowing seamless management alongside your existing door security, elevator access, and parking gate systems for a unified property management experience.

Vertical Bike Rack for Every Industry

Residential

Residential bike rack solutions keep bicycles organized, protected, and out of the way in homes, apartments, condominiums, and townhouse complexes across Canada. As cycling continues to grow as a primary transportation and recreation activity for Canadian families, secure and convenient bike storage at home becomes essential — especially in urban areas where garage space is limited or nonexistent. For single-family homes and townhouses, wall-mounted bike racks and ceiling-mounted pulley systems maximize garage and shed space by storing bikes vertically or overhead, freeing up floor area for vehicles and other equipment. Floor-standing racks in 2-bike and 4-bike configurations provide freestanding storage that doesn't require drilling into walls, making them ideal for renters. For multi-residential properties — condominiums, apartment buildings, and purpose-built rentals — bike rooms with vertical racks, two-tier systems, and wall rail configurations maximize the number of bikes stored per square foot. Canadian municipal bylaws increasingly require minimum bicycle parking ratios in new residential developments, typically 0.5 to 1.0 spaces per unit, making proper bike rack selection a building code compliance issue. Property managers choose BikeRacks.ca for durable, space-efficient residential bike storage systems that satisfy bylaw requirements, reduce bike clutter in common areas, and increase property appeal for cycling-oriented tenants. We also supply bike repair stands and tire pumps for residential bike rooms, giving residents a convenient place to maintain their bicycles without leaving the building. For cottage properties and seasonal homes, our weather-resistant outdoor racks and wall-mounted hooks keep bikes organized and protected during the months they're in use, while taking up minimal space in sheds and garages during the off-season. BikeRacks.ca offers free layout consultations for condo developers and property managers planning residential bike rooms, helping you maximize capacity while meeting fire code and accessibility requirements. From compact urban apartments in Toronto and Vancouver to sprawling suburban homes in Calgary and Ottawa, our residential bike rack solutions adapt to every Canadian living situation and budget.

Commercial & Office

Commercial and office bike parking is a critical component of modern workplace design, corporate sustainability programs, and employee wellness initiatives across Canada. As more professionals choose cycling for their daily commute — driven by health benefits, cost savings, environmental consciousness, and improved urban cycling infrastructure — businesses need secure, convenient bike parking that makes cycling to work a viable and attractive option. Office buildings and corporate campuses require both short-term visitor parking (outdoor commercial racks near building entrances) and long-term employee parking (indoor bike rooms, bike cages, or covered shelters with secure access). The ideal setup includes outdoor inverted-U racks for quick visits and deliveries, and indoor vertical racks or two-tier systems in a dedicated bike room with card-access security, lighting, and ventilation. Retail centres, restaurants, and commercial plazas need bike racks positioned near entrances to encourage cycling customers. Studies consistently show that cyclists visit local businesses more frequently than drivers and spend comparably over time, making bike parking a smart investment for retail landlords. BikeRacks.ca helps commercial property owners and managers select, specify, and install bike parking that meets municipal bylaw requirements, supports LEED and BOMA BEST certification goals, and demonstrates commitment to employee health and environmental sustainability. We provide site assessments, layout drawings, and bulk pricing for multi-building portfolios. Our commercial product line includes premium stainless steel options for high-visibility corporate entrances, standard galvanized racks for general commercial use, and custom branded racks that incorporate company logos and colours. For commercial tenants negotiating lease terms, we provide specification packages that building owners can use to plan and budget bike parking improvements. BikeRacks.ca understands that commercial bike parking is both a practical amenity and a marketing tool — properties with quality bike parking attract health-conscious, environmentally-aware tenants and customers who spend more and visit more frequently than those who drive. Contact our commercial team for a free site assessment and bulk pricing on commercial bike rack installations across Canada.

Multi-Residential

Multi-residential properties — condominiums, apartment buildings, purpose-built rentals, and co-op housing — face unique challenges when it comes to bicycle parking. Canadian municipal bylaws now require minimum bicycle parking ratios in new residential developments, typically 0.5 to 1.0 long-term spaces per dwelling unit plus visitor spaces. Meeting these requirements while maximizing rentable or sellable floor area requires space-efficient bike parking solutions that fit within dedicated bike rooms, parking garage alcoves, or purpose-built bike cages. Two-tier bike racks are the workhorse of multi-residential bike rooms, doubling capacity in the same floor area by stacking bikes on two levels. Vertical wall-mounted racks and wall rail systems further increase density by eliminating floor-space consumption entirely. Bike lockers provide premium secure storage that buildings can offer as a paid amenity, generating ongoing revenue while serving residents who own expensive bicycles. Property managers need bike parking that is durable enough to withstand daily use by dozens of residents, easy to maintain and clean, and organized enough to prevent the bike room from becoming a chaotic tangle of frames and wheels. Clear signage, assigned spaces, and proper lighting reduce conflicts between residents and make bike rooms safer and more inviting. BikeRacks.ca is a trusted supplier for condominium developers, property management companies, and housing cooperatives across Canada. We provide bike room layout planning, product specification for construction documents, installation coordination with general contractors, and ongoing maintenance support. Our team understands the municipal bylaw requirements in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, and other major cities, ensuring your bike parking meets code on the first inspection. For property managers dealing with overflowing bike rooms, we offer retrofit assessments that identify opportunities to increase capacity without expanding the room footprint — often achieving 40 to 60 percent more bike spaces by switching from floor-standing racks to vertical or two-tier systems. We also help property managers establish bike room policies, signage, and assignment systems that keep the space organized and reduce resident conflicts over bike parking access and space allocation.
