Top questions about the SpaceRail Bike Garage
How do I access the SpaceRail Bike Garage?
The bike garage is protected by a door code to keep storage secure for guests. For access details, contact the team at info@hoteluntermetzger.at or +43 664 4179520.
How does the SpaceRail system work?
SpaceRail uses a rail-and-hook design so you can hang the bike and then slide and rotate it as needed. This makes it easier to select and move any bike—even when the room is busy—while keeping the footprint compact.
Is the SpaceRail Bike Garage secure?
Yes. Access is controlled by a door code, and SpaceRail’s layout allows bikes to be stored closer together, which makes it easier to secure them with your own D-lock or chain. For best practice, lock your frame and a wheel when storing overnight.
Will my e-bike or MTB fit?
SpaceRail hooks are designed for heavy bikes and support up to 30 kg, making the system suitable for many e-bikes as well as mountain and road bikes. Polymer hook covers help protect your rims when hanging.
Are tools or spares available on-site?
Basic repair kits are available in the bike garage for quick fixes and adjustments before you roll out. You’ll also find route books and brochures to help you choose rides in the valley.
Can I plan rides directly from the hotel?
Absolutely. Gasthof Untermetzger sits in the Zillertal valley with quick access to cycling routes and trails. In summer, the Zillertal offers around 450 km of bike paths, and the hotel provides route books and brochures to guide your adventures.
What should I do before hanging my bike?
- Remove mud or grit that could transfer to other bikes or the floor.
- If you ride an e-bike, ensure the battery is secure before lifting or remove it first for easier handling.
- Lift by the designated contact point (the hook) and make sure the wheel is fully seated before you let go.
- Slide and rotate your bike so it sits neatly without obstructing walkways.
Are there rules about sharing the space?
Be considerate: hang your bike correctly, keep aisles clear, and avoid blocking other bikes. Keep the door closed after entry and don’t share the access code.
Do I need to bring a lock?
Yes. While the room is coded and SpaceRail makes securing bikes easier, bringing your own lock provides added reassurance, especially for overnight storage.
Is there anything else on-site to support cyclists?
After a big day in the saddle, you can unwind in the new wellness area with a sauna and Jacuzzi. Access is by prior reservation and subject to an additional fee.
