How to store a cargo bike in a NYC apartment

The Aventon Abound LR fits in most NYC elevators. Front-loaders like the Urban Arrow don't and need a building bike room, storage unit, or outdoor space. Storage is one of the biggest practical considerations when choosing a cargo bike.

Front-loader storage options

  • Building bike room (confirm dimensions first)
  • On the street with a motorcycle cover, heavy duty locks, and insurance.
  • Basement storage unit (measure the door opening)
  • Outdoor bike shed in a backyard or driveway
  • Commercial bike storage facilities

Building bike rooms

If your building has a bike room, start with your super or property manager to confirm dimensions and access.
