bouncy bouncy's picture is much like what we did....hooks on 2 x 8's , with a 2 x 8 for the bottom wheel to rest on. We used the leanardo hook

We've got 4 against one wall, plus 2 on the support post, which only leaves one without a permanent home, and it sits in the Park bike stand. Oh, yeah, and our house has NEVER been that tidy!!

What I like: The bikes don't sit on the floor at all, and they don't take up a lot of space into the room...and I can reach any of the bikes, even though I'm super short.

btw, we are currently getting ready for a move (as soon as I can get a transfer to another centre). Our requirements are...and we have no kids...our bedroom, a spare room, a studio for working on my pictures, a weight/exercise room, a workshop and a bike room. In essence, 2 people need a 6 bedroom home, although some of these could be combined, as they are in our current 3 bedroom house.

Good luck with the house hunting!

Namaste,
