Thank you for the link. These are very similar to the Saris Vertical Rack. I 
ask for a quote to see how expensive they are. They also have fun colors.

Thank you. I was coming to that conclusion. We can park more bikes if we use 
different kinds of racks to fit into every nook and cranny. 

We also need some for different ages and strengths. But the key factor is 
space. We don’t have any more room outside than we do inside. We also have a 
problem with bike theft so people want them enclosed. Some are quite high end, 
though it is the kids bikes that are most often stolen.
