Cykelhust is an apartment complex opening in Malmö, Sweden which was designed to accommodate residents who bike as their preferred method of transportation.
The complex is equipped with everything a cyclist needs, from wider elevators, to in-suite bike storage and a bike-specific parking garage, in lieu of a car garage. In addition, this bike-friendly housing unit was built only five minutes from the city's train station, eliminating any need for one to own a car. If individuals decide to go shopping, they can rent a cargo bicycle, which offers optimal in-bike storage that's perfect for carrying bags or groceries.
Cykelhust, which translates to 'bicycle house,' contains 55 apartments and is attached to the OhBoy hotel.
