Space saving bike storage?
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2020 11:22 am
Anyone got a useful / space efficient system for bike storage in a garage ?
I've previously had hooks on the wall to hang them by, not bad but with a motorbike parked against the opposite wall it became a real pain to get the bikes on or off the hooks without crashing and bashing about.
Currently got several halfords pedal hooks on the wall. These were really cheap and allow one bike on the wall and one under it. This is ok in two places but a pain in the third which currently houses my wifes mtb in a little corridor to get out the back garden from the garage.
I'm aware this makes it sound like I have loads and loads of bikes but after the how many bikes thread I dont really. Heres what I need to store and whats in regular use.
Hardtail mtb - regular use
Full Sus - regular use (currently stripped to sell the frame but new frame imminent)
SS mtb - (only built this again last night for something to do, can be disassembled if it doesn't fit in the storage)
Gravelwanker - Regular use
Road Bike - Used to live at work, currently no storage there. This or the GW travels to work with me)
Garage Total 4 (maybe 5)
Wifes MTB - semi regular use
Wifes Brompton - regular use, currently in the house
Garage Total 1
4yo Islabike - daily use, currently in the house but as it gets bigger will need to go in the garage too
4yo BMX track bike - garage, once / twice a week use
Garage Total 2
Occasional visitors include my middle teenagers personal bikes but they probably dont need to be included, generally he rides one of my mtbs when here.
So, I need to efficiently store 7 bikes, most in fairly regular use.
Anyone got anything clever or is it just a case of hanging what fits and stacking the rest against the wall?
Stealing additional space outside in the shed wont wash, wife is a keen gardener and complains about tyre storage going out there a lot (chucks them back in the garage)
