We can barely get all of our required stuff in - 10 bikes (including a tandem), the SO's motorbike, the SO's friend's kit car and all the other garage paraphernalia. We have hung four of our bikes on the wall supported by the frame, like a car bike rack, the expensive bikes are all locked together tidily and to the wall only the commuters are "loose". I could barely swing our cat in our garage with all our stuff in it, never mind do a workout. Once again wow!
it's just a double! we don't park our car, truck or motorcycle inside! they stay out in the driveway!

if we didn't have the smith machine (not shown in the pics... except for barely seeing it in the mirror... we could pull both in, if needed (well.. probably one now with the bikes hanging like that! cuz they do stick out a bit!) but we decided a while ago.. when i outgrew being able to workout in the living room with all my paraphanalia... that the garage could be a fitness.. then bike area! the opposite wall from the bikes still has metal shelves with.. uhm.. stuff.. ya.. stuff! not junk! lol! on them! he keeps trying to get me to go through it and through a lot of it away!

what we need is a basement! but i don't know of anyone in california that has one! (or a bigger house with a dedicated workout room!!!!!)
