Mission Statement
Who:
	 CentriPEDAL Bikes, Owners: James Rardin and Karin Rardin
What:
	 Bicycle shop. From store website, “We are a Fremont, CA-based bicycle store for bicycles, parts, accessories 	
	 and service. We offer a full range of road and mountain bikes as well as life	style and youth varieties.
	 Additionally, we carry apparel for both men and women cyclists.”
Where:
	 3646 Thornton Ave., Fremont, CA in a small multi-tenant building in Thornton Plaza between Suju’s Coffee 	
	 Shop and Dale Hardware Supply.
When:
	 Officially opened to the public on June 21, 2012, and grand opening on August 18, 2012. Looking to expand in 	
	 the near future.
Why:
	 Business is growing rapidly, hiring more employees, not enough work space, no space for employee’s
	 personal possessions, not enough storage.
How:
	 Expand by using the tenant space, next door which is currently a State Farm Insurance office.
Problem Statement:
	 CentriPEDAL Bikes is a medium-sized bike shop that is outgrowing its space very rapidly. Higher demand 		
	 means more bikes, more employees, more storage, and more sales space is needed. With its growing public 	
	 recognition, more riding events, workshops, and races are being organized and hosted by this shop.
The purpose of this project is to create a larger and more functional space for CentriPEDAL Bikes. This bike shop
needs to be larger in order to store, build, and sell all the bicycles it needs to keep up with the rapidly growing de-
mand of its customers. The employees at CentriPEDAL Bikes strive to make cycling fun for everyone of all ages and
backgrounds. They are very successful at engaging, educating and energizing new cyclists as well as serving bicycle
enthusiasts. All customers are treated with the same level of care, love, and respect. The shop is constantly involved
in the community through advocacy, event sponsorship, and event participation. The owners’ main goal is to inspire
others to love riding as much as they do. These aspects will all be reflected throughout the design.

State/County Overview
Environmental Features:
	 - Doesn’t snow in most of the state, only near the mountains, but it rains often during the winter and spring 	
	 months, unless the state is enduring a drought. Heaters are required.
	 - Summers in Northern California are warm but considered mild. It only reaches 100° or higher for a few days 	
	 of the summer, while Southern California can reach 100° or higher for a few weeks of the summer. AC is
	 preferred but not required.
California is a state on
the west coast of the
United States of
America, although its
residents treat Northern
and Southern California
as two different states.
Alameda County is an
L-shaped county
located in the Bay Area
on the east side of the
San Francisco Bay.
Fremont is located on
the south-west corner of
Alameda County,
surrounding Newark.
Major forms of
transportation include
car, bus, bicycle, Bay
Area Rapid Transit
(BART), and Amtrak
train.
Town Overview
Fremont surrounds Newark, and borders Union City, Hayward, and Sunol. The cities are so close together that it is
difficult to tell where exactly one ends and another begins.
Fremont provides activities for people of all ages and interests. The Niles Historical District contains restaurants,
museums, antique shops, and even a biker bar. The Irvington District is home to the Community Center, Teen Center,
Senior Center, Fremont Central Park, Aqua Adventure Water Park, Cloverleaf Family Bowling Alley, and a variety of
popular bars for both young and old, such as the Saddle Rack, Kirby’s and Coaches. Fremont also hosts an annual
Art and Wine Festival every August where a section of the streets near Fremont Blvd. and Mowry Ave. are shut down
for a weekend, and booths are set up to sell alcoholic beverages, crafts, clothes, and more. People from all over the
Bay Area come to Fremont to enjoy the festival. The other districts of Fremont are mainly housing, but also offer a
few activities for their residents to enjoy.
There are three bike shops located in Fremont: Bicycle Garage, Fremont Schwinn Cyclery, and CentriPEDAL Bikes.

Site Overview
• Located in the Thornton Plaza Retail Center and 3646 Thornton Ave., Fremont, CA.
• This center is placed in between Moraine St. and Post St.
• The two main roads that run the length of the town and beyond, Fremont Blvd. and Paseo Padre Pkwy., are set on
either side of these streets.
12 13
Building Overview
• CentriPEDAL Bikes currently takes up two rented storefront properties with the wall in between knocked down.
• The building is exposed to minimal noise because it is set so far back from the busier streets. The front entryway is
protected from weather by the overhang along the northeast wall.
• The exterior colors are burgundy, white, and green, and these cannot be changed. The interior colors are orange,
red, gray, and tan, and these can be changed.
• Some constraints of the project are that the lighting type and building footprint can’t be changed, and parking
cannot be added or subtracted from the lot to expand the building. However this presents the opportunity to keep the
large storefront windows which are good for displaying bikes.

Qualitative Program
Shopping/Selling:
	 The shopping/selling area is the area where all the bikes, gear, and parts will be displayed for the customers. 	
	 This area will need display shelves and racks for hanging cycling clothes, helmets, spare parts, etc. It will 		
	 also need wall mounted bike racks for vertically stacking multiple layers of bikes in order to be able to fit more
	 bikes into the space. There also needs to be adequate circulation space around the products to give the
	 customers easy access to viewing all of the products on the sales floor. The sales floor will need to be near the 	
	 front entry and the storefront windows in order to draw in customers.
Bike Build/Repair:
	 The build/repair area is where the employees build new bikes to be put out on the sales floor, and they repair 	
	 bikes for customers who bring in their own bikes to be fixed or updated. There will also be a self repair station 	
	 where customers can tune up their bikes themselves.These areas will need bike repair stands to set the bike 	
	 frames in, which prevent the bike from having to be on the ground while it is being built or repaired. These 		
	 bike repair stands allow for easily testing the alignment of the wheels, the tightness of the brakes, and the 	
	 quality of many parts of the bike. The employee build/repair area also requires a special smart wash station for
	 the employees to clean excess grease from their tools and the bike parts. The build/repair area would also
	 benefit from having a large work bench or tool box to organize parts and tools while they are not being used. 	
	 These areas would benefit from being near the sales floor so that customers can easily bring in their own bikes 	
	 to be repaired, and so that customers looking to buy new bikes can see the newest additions to the sales floor 	
	 as they are being built.
Trying on Clothes/Gear:
	 The area for trying on clothes/gear is the area where customers can try on cycling clothes, helmets, etc. before 	
	 purchasing them. This area requires 1 dressing room with a mirror, hooks for hanging items, and a bench. This 	
	 area needs to be near the area of the sales floor that contains the gear that is to be tried on.
Employee Breaks/Office:
	 The employee break area/office is the place where the employees can go to do paperwork and inventory, as 	
	 well as a place to go during their breaks to eat, and relax. They can also use it to store their personal
	 possessions and bikes, to file work request sheets and paychecks, and to store office supplies. This area 		
	 would benefit from having a table, chairs, lockers and storage cabinet. This area should be near the restroom 	
	 so that employees have easy access to it during their breaks.
Qualitative Program
Using the Restroom:
	 There will be two restrooms, one for customers and one for employees, where people can use the toilet and/or 	
	 wash their hands. These places require a sink, a toilet, hand drying towels or machine, and could benefit from
	 having a baby changing table. The employee restroom should be located near the office so that it is not in
	 direct view to the customers and won’t distract from the design of the main part of the store. The customer 	
	 restroom should be adjacent to the employee restroom to enable the plumbing to share a wall and to enable it 	
	 to be out of direct sight from the sales floor.
Bike/Gear/Parts Storage:
	 This area is where all of the inventory that is not yet able to be put onto the sales floor will be stored. It should 	
	 be its own area away from the view of the customers so that they don’t have to see all the boxes piled up. This 	
	 will also be where customer bikes to be fixed will be stored while they are not being worked on. This area 		
	 requires a large amount of open space for bikes and some shelving for boxes. This area should be located 	
	 near the build/repair area so that employees can easily grab a new bike to build or a spare part.
Checkout/Cashier:
	 The checkout counter is the place where customers go to complete and pay for their purchases. An employee
	 will ring up the purchases, and, if necessary, bag any small items that the customer may have. This area needs 	
	 to be in a location that has a view of the entire sales floor so as to watch out for any customers who may try to 	
	 steal something. It also needs to be in an obvious and welcoming location so that customers do not feel
	 intimidated to approach the counter, but needs to be out of sight from the entry so it will not be the first thing 	
	 customers see. If the checkout counter is the first thing a customer sees, they will immediately be thinking 	
	 about the amount of money they want to spend rather than the products they want to buy.
Bike Size Testing/Information Area:
	 The bike size testing area is where customers (both adults and children) can measure their inseam to
	 determine size bike is best for their body. This area requires some open space for customers to try different 	
	 sized bikes as well as a station where they can measure themselves or have an employee measure them. The
	 employee who is helping them will also need easy access to the sales floor from this area so they can easily 	
	 bring over another bike if needed. The information area will provide graphics, pamphlets, and instructions for 	
	 various bike routes, riding clubs, ways to fix bike problems, and how to measure yourself for a new bike.

Precedent Study Analysis
Through analyzing these bicycle shops, I have found that each shop has at least one feature or amenity that makes it
unique. These precedent studies showed that quality customer service and quality products were the main focus for
the owners and employees. After reading reviews about each of the shops, I found that most customers were more
likely to return if the shop had quality customer service and the correct types of products they were looking for. They
were also more likely to return if the shop was well organized, clean, and had a comfortable atmosphere.
Knowledgeable staff was also a huge factor for the customers who were just beginning to get into cycling.
30 31
CONCEPT
32 33
The intent of this project is to create a larger and more functional space for CentriPEDAL Bikes. Expanding the
space will enable the shop to provide amenities for customers such as an information hub, and a flexible and
spacious retail layout to keep up with its rapidly growing demand. The concept of a bicycle chain and gears will be
both literally and figuratively incorporated into the design to portray how everything in the shop is connected.
Without every link in the chain working around the gears, the pedals of a bicycle cannot function and the bicycle
cannot move forward. Store branding will be used to promote a sense of presence both inside and outside of the
shop to encourage repeat customers.
Concept Statement Concept Description
The gears and chains will be integrated into the design visually with a flooring pathway of chain links to guide
customers through the sales floor as well as flooring gear pods to mark rounds of bicycles, the self repair station,
and the full length mirror in the apparel section. The concept of the gear and chain originated from the store logo
which contains an abstract bicycle chain around the wording. This concept was developed to promote store
branding for CentriPEDAL Bikes in order to establish a sense of presence in the local community.

  • 2. 2 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS This project is dedicated to my capstone professor, Dr. Rula Awwad-Rafferty, my capstone mentor, T-Jay Clevenger, and all the employees and customers of CentriPEDAL Bikes, without whom this project would not have been possible.

  • 4. 6 7 Mission Statement Who: CentriPEDAL Bikes, Owners: James Rardin and Karin Rardin What: Bicycle shop. From store website, “We are a Fremont, CA-based bicycle store for bicycles, parts, accessories and service. We offer a full range of road and mountain bikes as well as life style and youth varieties. Additionally, we carry apparel for both men and women cyclists.” Where: 3646 Thornton Ave., Fremont, CA in a small multi-tenant building in Thornton Plaza between Suju’s Coffee Shop and Dale Hardware Supply. When: Officially opened to the public on June 21, 2012, and grand opening on August 18, 2012. Looking to expand in the near future. Why: Business is growing rapidly, hiring more employees, not enough work space, no space for employee’s personal possessions, not enough storage. How: Expand by using the tenant space, next door which is currently a State Farm Insurance office. Problem Statement: CentriPEDAL Bikes is a medium-sized bike shop that is outgrowing its space very rapidly. Higher demand means more bikes, more employees, more storage, and more sales space is needed. With its growing public recognition, more riding events, workshops, and races are being organized and hosted by this shop. The purpose of this project is to create a larger and more functional space for CentriPEDAL Bikes. This bike shop needs to be larger in order to store, build, and sell all the bicycles it needs to keep up with the rapidly growing de- mand of its customers. The employees at CentriPEDAL Bikes strive to make cycling fun for everyone of all ages and backgrounds. They are very successful at engaging, educating and energizing new cyclists as well as serving bicycle enthusiasts. All customers are treated with the same level of care, love, and respect. The shop is constantly involved in the community through advocacy, event sponsorship, and event participation. The owners’ main goal is to inspire others to love riding as much as they do. These aspects will all be reflected throughout the design. Problem Statement Goals and Objectives Goals: • Increase overall square footage • Increase square footage of storage space • Increase square footage of sales floor • Increase square footage of build/repair space • Create an employee break room • Create a bike size testing space Objectives: • Create a flexible and functional space for both employees and customers • Encourage bicycle riding as both a fun form of transportation, and a fun recreational activity • Promote a sense of community between the CentriPEDAL Bikes and the City of Fremont • Promote knowledge of the cycling world
  • 5. 8 9 State/County Overview Environmental Features: - Doesn’t snow in most of the state, only near the mountains, but it rains often during the winter and spring months, unless the state is enduring a drought. Heaters are required. - Summers in Northern California are warm but considered mild. It only reaches 100° or higher for a few days of the summer, while Southern California can reach 100° or higher for a few weeks of the summer. AC is preferred but not required. California is a state on the west coast of the United States of America, although its residents treat Northern and Southern California as two different states. Alameda County is an L-shaped county located in the Bay Area on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. Fremont is located on the south-west corner of Alameda County, surrounding Newark. Major forms of transportation include car, bus, bicycle, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), and Amtrak train. Town Overview Fremont surrounds Newark, and borders Union City, Hayward, and Sunol. The cities are so close together that it is difficult to tell where exactly one ends and another begins. Fremont provides activities for people of all ages and interests. The Niles Historical District contains restaurants, museums, antique shops, and even a biker bar. The Irvington District is home to the Community Center, Teen Center, Senior Center, Fremont Central Park, Aqua Adventure Water Park, Cloverleaf Family Bowling Alley, and a variety of popular bars for both young and old, such as the Saddle Rack, Kirby’s and Coaches. Fremont also hosts an annual Art and Wine Festival every August where a section of the streets near Fremont Blvd. and Mowry Ave. are shut down for a weekend, and booths are set up to sell alcoholic beverages, crafts, clothes, and more. People from all over the Bay Area come to Fremont to enjoy the festival. The other districts of Fremont are mainly housing, but also offer a few activities for their residents to enjoy. There are three bike shops located in Fremont: Bicycle Garage, Fremont Schwinn Cyclery, and CentriPEDAL Bikes.

  • 7. 12 13 Building Overview • CentriPEDAL Bikes currently takes up two rented storefront properties with the wall in between knocked down. • The building is exposed to minimal noise because it is set so far back from the busier streets. The front entryway is protected from weather by the overhang along the northeast wall. • The exterior colors are burgundy, white, and green, and these cannot be changed. The interior colors are orange, red, gray, and tan, and these can be changed. • Some constraints of the project are that the lighting type and building footprint can’t be changed, and parking cannot be added or subtracted from the lot to expand the building. However this presents the opportunity to keep the large storefront windows which are good for displaying bikes.

  • 8. 14 15 Qualitative Program Shopping/Selling: The shopping/selling area is the area where all the bikes, gear, and parts will be displayed for the customers. This area will need display shelves and racks for hanging cycling clothes, helmets, spare parts, etc. It will also need wall mounted bike racks for vertically stacking multiple layers of bikes in order to be able to fit more bikes into the space. There also needs to be adequate circulation space around the products to give the customers easy access to viewing all of the products on the sales floor. The sales floor will need to be near the front entry and the storefront windows in order to draw in customers. Bike Build/Repair: The build/repair area is where the employees build new bikes to be put out on the sales floor, and they repair bikes for customers who bring in their own bikes to be fixed or updated. There will also be a self repair station where customers can tune up their bikes themselves.These areas will need bike repair stands to set the bike frames in, which prevent the bike from having to be on the ground while it is being built or repaired. These bike repair stands allow for easily testing the alignment of the wheels, the tightness of the brakes, and the quality of many parts of the bike. The employee build/repair area also requires a special smart wash station for the employees to clean excess grease from their tools and the bike parts. The build/repair area would also benefit from having a large work bench or tool box to organize parts and tools while they are not being used. These areas would benefit from being near the sales floor so that customers can easily bring in their own bikes to be repaired, and so that customers looking to buy new bikes can see the newest additions to the sales floor as they are being built. Trying on Clothes/Gear: The area for trying on clothes/gear is the area where customers can try on cycling clothes, helmets, etc. before purchasing them. This area requires 1 dressing room with a mirror, hooks for hanging items, and a bench. This area needs to be near the area of the sales floor that contains the gear that is to be tried on. Employee Breaks/Office: The employee break area/office is the place where the employees can go to do paperwork and inventory, as well as a place to go during their breaks to eat, and relax. They can also use it to store their personal possessions and bikes, to file work request sheets and paychecks, and to store office supplies. This area would benefit from having a table, chairs, lockers and storage cabinet. This area should be near the restroom so that employees have easy access to it during their breaks. Qualitative Program Using the Restroom: There will be two restrooms, one for customers and one for employees, where people can use the toilet and/or wash their hands. These places require a sink, a toilet, hand drying towels or machine, and could benefit from having a baby changing table. The employee restroom should be located near the office so that it is not in direct view to the customers and won’t distract from the design of the main part of the store. The customer restroom should be adjacent to the employee restroom to enable the plumbing to share a wall and to enable it to be out of direct sight from the sales floor. Bike/Gear/Parts Storage: This area is where all of the inventory that is not yet able to be put onto the sales floor will be stored. It should be its own area away from the view of the customers so that they don’t have to see all the boxes piled up. This will also be where customer bikes to be fixed will be stored while they are not being worked on. This area requires a large amount of open space for bikes and some shelving for boxes. This area should be located near the build/repair area so that employees can easily grab a new bike to build or a spare part. Checkout/Cashier: The checkout counter is the place where customers go to complete and pay for their purchases. An employee will ring up the purchases, and, if necessary, bag any small items that the customer may have. This area needs to be in a location that has a view of the entire sales floor so as to watch out for any customers who may try to steal something. It also needs to be in an obvious and welcoming location so that customers do not feel intimidated to approach the counter, but needs to be out of sight from the entry so it will not be the first thing customers see. If the checkout counter is the first thing a customer sees, they will immediately be thinking about the amount of money they want to spend rather than the products they want to buy. Bike Size Testing/Information Area: The bike size testing area is where customers (both adults and children) can measure their inseam to determine size bike is best for their body. This area requires some open space for customers to try different sized bikes as well as a station where they can measure themselves or have an employee measure them. The employee who is helping them will also need easy access to the sales floor from this area so they can easily bring over another bike if needed. The information area will provide graphics, pamphlets, and instructions for various bike routes, riding clubs, ways to fix bike problems, and how to measure yourself for a new bike.

  • 14. 26 27 Location: Los Angeles, CA Background: Opened in 1971 as a sister store to Helen’s Cycles, and remodeled in early 2014 by Glow International Exhibitions. “The design challenge was to merge two different store units and bring the experienced sales staff front and center. The entire interior, including walls, ceiling and service were finished in a single color. Reclaimed oak beams and wood effect laminate allow a background that let the bikes stand out. A more centralized checkout finished in strips of old oak beams was positioned near the front door, allowing for better interaction with the customers. The company’s corporate colors of black, yellow and orange were introduced into the flooring and upholstery accents, and custom pendant lights made from spokes, hubs and chains hang over the checkout area. The idea of reusing existing materials was to reference the nearly 30-year-old brand yet add a more modern feel.” Mission: “L.A.’s finest bike shop since 1971.” Services and Amenities: Online shopping, sell gear and parts in-store, on-site workshop, 2 different fitting options, bike rentals, newsletter, Facebook, Twitter.

  • 15. 28 29 Precedent Study Analysis Through analyzing these bicycle shops, I have found that each shop has at least one feature or amenity that makes it unique. These precedent studies showed that quality customer service and quality products were the main focus for the owners and employees. After reading reviews about each of the shops, I found that most customers were more likely to return if the shop had quality customer service and the correct types of products they were looking for. They were also more likely to return if the shop was well organized, clean, and had a comfortable atmosphere. Knowledgeable staff was also a huge factor for the customers who were just beginning to get into cycling.
  • 17. 32 33 The intent of this project is to create a larger and more functional space for CentriPEDAL Bikes. Expanding the space will enable the shop to provide amenities for customers such as an information hub, and a flexible and spacious retail layout to keep up with its rapidly growing demand. The concept of a bicycle chain and gears will be both literally and figuratively incorporated into the design to portray how everything in the shop is connected. Without every link in the chain working around the gears, the pedals of a bicycle cannot function and the bicycle cannot move forward. Store branding will be used to promote a sense of presence both inside and outside of the shop to encourage repeat customers. Concept Statement Concept Description The gears and chains will be integrated into the design visually with a flooring pathway of chain links to guide customers through the sales floor as well as flooring gear pods to mark rounds of bicycles, the self repair station, and the full length mirror in the apparel section. The concept of the gear and chain originated from the store logo which contains an abstract bicycle chain around the wording. This concept was developed to promote store branding for CentriPEDAL Bikes in order to establish a sense of presence in the local community.
