Why?
The Bicycle Cellar exists to assist and encourage individuals who commute by bike or have the desire to do so. Bike commuting can change many things about ones life. From the health benefits to the environmental contribution, bike commuting will change the outlook of the commuter on many levels… Bike theft across the nation has skyrocketed and the Bicycle Cellar would like to be a part of the solution by providing secure bike parking to those that use their bike to commute to school or work.
Where?
Located at 200 East 5th Street (Suite #105) in downtown Tempe at the Veterans Way/College Ave light rail stop. You can’t miss the beautiful Tempe Transportation Center building – it’s quite striking. The state-of-the-art engineering of the Tempe Transportation Center is the perfect venue for The Bicycle Cellar, as it mirrors the progressive civic plan for sustainable public transportation and energy-efficient construction methods. The building turns energy from the sun into usable heat for water, has automatic sun shades to defeat wind forces, and a rooftop garden to utilize all surfaces.
