As bike commuting becomes more popular, facilities where you can store your bike, extra clothes and even take a shower will become a necessity.

Scheel took home first prize in a recent competition hosted by the Delaware Valley Green Building Council with her stellar all-in-one bike facility and master plan that gives urban bikers a place of their own in the city.
