I have to work out the best way to store three bikes in my new garage as space is pretty much at a premium.
Do I hang them, put them in a rack on the wall or just leave them standing on the floor?
Any genius ideas to save space (with pictures if you can?) gratefully received.
Hang from joists by saddle?
Plastic hooks in wall (or a batten) and hang bikes from alternately front and rear wheels. Put them high enough up and you'll still have storage space below.

That looks excellent.
Can just make out a plastic bracket on one of the pedals I think?
Where are they from?
I have mine two deep high up the wall and two more under using a mont blanc bracket from halfords. This puts the weight on the top tube, which to my mind seems better than hanging from a component.
Tried hanging from front wheel angled against 0ne wall in single garage, now have against both walls 2 high. Occasional bikes above with bars turned. Much less space used.
I just use some hooks rated to 20kg and hang them by the front wheel. I have another 2 hanging from either side of a beam too.
Sorry missed this reply, ther are metal pedal hooks the tyres rest on the wall to stabilise (there is a need to turn the bars a bit to prevent the bike slowly rotating)
Google pedal hooks.

I got a lightweight pallet about 2x1 metres, and re-spaced the slats so that they fit road, skinny and fat nobbles. Pallet vertical against wall with the slats away from the wall so the wheels can go through a few inches, and I can get six bikes in. Lesser used bikes can still be hooked to the wall vertically and the back wheel still sits in a slot and this clears up some handlebar/wiggle space at the front to get bikes out.
Originally the pallet was going to sit on the floor but the bikes tend to lean drunkenly, it is much better vertical as it supports the back wheels top and bottom.
