The Spalding Building in Portland, Oregon is a historic office building that has one of the coolest parking spots for bicycles: an old school bank vault complete with a 16,000 pound door. I’d feel pretty good about putting my bike there.
But sadly, because of the size (and probably the liability) of the door, it doesn’t really lock. And I guess the not locking aspect of the vault kinda dampens the vaults effectiveness but I’d absolutely love to drop off my bike in here. Bank vaults are always cool and it’s still better than my damn basement. [Bike Portland via Core 77]
I bow to this door.
