My office building has an indoor bike rack, and it’s great that it’s indoors and it has an old penny farthing welded to it which is cool, but there are only two spots where you can lock your frame to it. The rest of the spots are front-wheel only. And if someone arrives by ebike, there’s nowhere that they could lock the frame. Do you have a recommendation for an ideal rack for this spot that I could recommend to the building owners? The space is in our vestibule and it’s a little over 8 feet wide.
Btw: one of the building owner’s employees has left his bike on the rack for at least 6 months, using one of the two “good” spots. He never rides the bike, he’s just storing it there. The bike that’s parked up high is a visitor who didn’t want to lock just their front wheel.

The Trek has a flat tire and a nice unstolen pump.
I reckon you could fit maybe 3 Sheffield stands in there. Only gives you room for 6 bikes and requires locks, but it’s better than what’s there now.
How many bikes need to be locked. If only you then I’d just line up my bike so the handlebars and frame lean against the rack and take up like almost all the spaces.
If his bike is locked to an I door rack for months at a time by the front tire and nobody steals it or even the pump on it I imagine you would be fine just locking the front
