You'd have to double-check with ARC but...
Since it's a courtyard villa -

If you wanted to secure a bike rack to your garage within the courtyard area, and tie down a cloth bike cover over it (similarly to how you'd do that with bicycles on a car during a journey), it's probably fine to do.

If you're talking about a shop or workshop outside the house, rather than a storage need, then the answer would be it isn't allowed.

Conversely - if you have a birdcage (or get permission to have one), you can put a cabana under the birdcage and use that for storage/workshop purposes. But you still can't use it as a shop to sell bikes or parts or repair services, or any other type of business.
