Consideration for bikes in the design of buildings

Something I would like to add which I experienced after my fourth ride around Auckland. Here you see a little video of me having difficulty bringing the bicycle back into the house. I didn't want to open the entire garage door just to wheel my bike in, but going through the front door was a bit of a pain, having to lift the machine up the step into the lobby, and the door wasn't very big for the bike to fit through.

What if we just had some sort of bike door within the garage door? Then I wouldn't need to worry about opening the whole darn thing. It's these little things too that come to increased use of the bike. If we park our cars smoothly into the house, why shouldn't it be the same for the bike?
