At 12x20ft, I’m feeling the pinch… |
I wish I had a bigger bike cave. With only a one car garage I’m having to pick and choose my next steps. In a perfect world I’d have room for active bikes and a workshop at the back with longer term projects on the go.
The 2 ½ car option at 24x30ft would feel cavernous by comparison to my cramped 9x20ft space, but a garage that big would mean I’d probably have to keep cars in it. A safer bet would be an outbuilding workshop, like this Canadian made prefab kit.
They have an A style 20×30 footer for just over $12 grand. That would be wider than my current space is long. Instead of my meagre 180 ft², I’d have a whopping 600ft². That kind of space would let me chase down all the loose ends I’m considering right now.
My current urges run toward a couple of dirt bikes for my son and I, a distance capable road bike and something more intimate for short blasts and track days. While the working bikes get their occasional maintenance, I’d also like space for a project bike.
Roughly to scale, that 20×30 workshop would fit the bill nicely. |
