Lots of lighting. Lots of outlets too. So much now needs to be charged, it’s crazy and only going to get worse. (Like maybe a power strip with lots of outlets) Wifi access for consults?
Some place to dump fluids, dispose of rags/wipes that might not be good for the drain/sewer/septic/trash? I had a brake line fail on a ride and tracked brake fluid into a hotel. (It wasn’t bad at all, just seemed bad) Put it over a pizza box as the last of the fluid drained out. Just in case… (I was sure I could be dinged for that, but no. Whew!)
Oh, maybe a couple throw rugs/mats to put grungy bikes on overnight? Built-in bike supports (like 2x4’s) setup to hold the wheel/bike upright? Should help save on wall damage.
Just thinking of things I’ve run into.
It’s very well lit, will probably upgrade with nicer looking light fixtures in the future; got a multi plug power strip with USB ports. I was considering temporary places for wet/muddy bikes. Having a triathlon style rack for outside (finish ride, rack bike, go inside and pee, come back out); the basement is divided, small ante room leading in, was thinking that might be good place for “mud room” - temporary racks as you describe, w/ tarp on the floor. Great suggestions!! Got me thinking through the whole experience

May have to get a sign for the basement: “The Veloway Chalet Biker Bar”
Thanks to the suggestions, I have added a bike wash station and an outdoor bike rack (finish your ride, hang it triathlon style, change and come back out to clean)
