The Rider Cycle Shop

A bicycle shop has to display bulky stock in a small space and still leave room to work on machines.

The solution was to get everything off the floor. A full-height timber grid runs across the back and side walls, deep enough to take complete bicycles, wheels and boxed accessories, with integrated lighting in the shelf reveals so nothing sits in shadow. That frees the floor entirely for the service counter, the repair bench and for customers to wheel a bicycle in and out.

The counter is a simple slab in matching timber with a low return that doubles as a bench seat. A panel of exposed brick behind the shop name gives the back wall something to hold on to against all the joinery.
