Solutions for apartment living and multiple bikes.. Pics please!

I have a standalone rack like the one that Catrin posted-- holds two bikes.

But I'll admit that I've been drooling over some of these: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/5-ha...-for-ap-148404

All great suggestions ladies, thank you! I love the wood shelves solution, but unfortunately only one of my bikes has a traditional straight top tube. Glad to see so many ways to keep most of them in-house.

This isn't the most beautiful solution (and a crappy phone pic), but here's my herd.....our apartment has a handy little nook right inside the front door which makes for very convient in/out storage. It doesn't attach to the wall, but it's sturdy enough, it's the older version of this

I have the delta michaelangelo bike rack. http://www.amazon.com/Delta-Michelan...elta+bike+rack
It just leans up against a wall so no hardware, and is very sturdy and looks nice. I too have it in my laundry room, but 2 side by side could give u a nice 'bike wall'. Before you leave them locked in shared garage make sure they are safe there.

I have the same rack in my hallway. Yes, it makes the passage narrow, but it works for me. There is another bike propped up in front of the fireplace in the living room.

I got a similar rack to the one mentioned above at Target, called The Art of Storage Leaning 2 bike Rack. I have it in my outdoor shed, but you could put it inside, and don't need to mount it to the wall. I could not believe how it holds both of my bikes. The arms are adjustable so it's very easy to move the bikes around.

+1 the Minuora rack. It has padded ends so doesn't damage anything. Held our road bikes great with adjustable holders to align with a sloping top tube. We also used angers that hold the front wheel. Of course must be into concrete or stud, but meant our tandem bike could be stored in the apartment.

Tip for bikes in a lift. Pull up the front wheel and roll in on the back wheel only while vertical. Means other people can get in the lift too. Even our tandem could get into the lift this way.

Another vote for the gravity rack: Doesn't mar up the walls in a rental apartment! As a record, my 500sq ft apartment at one point had a bunch of mountain bikers crashing on my hide-a-bed, so we had a total of four people and 7 bicycles in here.
