We identified secure bicycle storage with pass code locker for exclusive use of project's occupants within a garage structure attached to the office building. We do not intent to have a bicycle racks inside the storage area, but designated storage area is large enough to accommodate 10 – 15 bikes (500sf). The LEED CI form for credit SS c.3.2, ask for a number of secure bicycle racks even though the LEED CI Book, 2009 Edition allows both: bicycle racks and/or bicycle storage. Should we put just number 10 under the ”Number of Secure Bicycle Racks” because we believe the secure storage can accommodate that many bikes or any further calculation is necessary to prove enough SF of space per bike?

You might get questions from the reviewer about how the bikes are supported since they might not all have kick stands. For a storage room containing more than just one or two bikes, most projects have some kind of support racks for the bikes or even simple hooks on the wall. Your drawings should probably show either the bikes themselves, the racks, or the spaces allotted for each bike.
