How do you store your bike(s), do you use one of those wall/free standing bike storage racks? Nancy
I usually have one in the trainer and the others on a gravity wall rack.
all of ours are leaning against the walls.
One locked to the wall rack
One in the trainer, also locked
One always seems to be at the shop :rolleyes:
I just got a new 2-bike bike rack
I screwed S hooks into the wall and hung them by their front tire. Cheap and effective.
I have a little $14 stand that I use for both cleaning and storing.
Mostly, they lean against the wall (or each other! :eek: ).Quote:

It really depends on what kind of bikes you have and how many. My husband and I have over 6 bikes. We are fortunate to have a lot of extra space. We found that the hook that screws into the wall works the best and we can line them up next to each other. (the hooks only cost 2.00-3.00) an can be found at any hardware store. You can also hang them from the ceiling in your garage with the same hooks... we have done that in the past.
You can also buy a rack that goes against the wall and you can hang multiple bikes on it.
We use those gravity stands available at Target. Mtb's on one, roadie bikes on the other.
I'd like to see a picture of this if someone would post one. We use the two hooks and hang bikes by both tires, but I'm not sure I know how to do it by just the front tire. Thanks.Quote:

I'm currently storing my bike on the trainer in the hopes that seeing it there ready to go will make me more likely to use the trainer!
Otherwise, leaning on the bedroom wall.
We do the hook on the wall thing in a "bike shed" DH built just for the bikes. Only problem is the MTBs have such wide handlebars they make getting things in and out right next to them a bit tough. But we have no garage, so this is a good alternative.
All of my 3 bikes are locked up in a communal bike storage locker in an underground parking garage. I live in a highrise condo-apt. We have several communal bike storage lockers. They are caged areas.
By the way, our building also has a communal kayak storage locker area. ANd yes, it's used...
12 on ceiling hooks in the garage, 2 against the wall.
This is how we hang ours. The hooks are high enough off the ground that the back tire doesn't touch. Just hang it by the front and the back tire rests against the wall. Even the heavy mtn bikes hang well.Quote:
