Hi All,
I have a bike storage issue at the moment, there are a large number of bicycles in the garage of my shared house.
We are thinking of attaching a block of wood to the garage wall then putting some of [url= http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/160603614619?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar ]these[/url] up to hang the bikes from.
We are probably going to have issues with swinging bikes though, does any one else have any cunning ideas? We need the space under the bikes for storage, hence hanging them.
Your hooks will be the simplest solution. will the bikes be hanging horizontally or vertically from their front/back wheels. If the latter they are a bit more stable and there are alternative hooks freom a load of manufacturers such as [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-wall-rack/ ]these[/url] including ones from saris with a [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/saris-bike-track-cycle-rack/ ]full length channel[/url] which I went for because of the flakey nature of the garage wall. If horizontal there are supports such as the hopkirk ones sold by halfords which have 2 horizontal supports and still hold up to 2 bikes - there is a folding version as well.
Trick is to try and hang them where you won't need to wander around underneath. Other need is some anchor points for chains/locks. Oxford ones bolted into walls or a shed shackle if this is a wooden structure.
Cheers mate,
We spent the afternoon looking into different hanging methods and inadvertently cleared the garage out, so we took the opportunity to try and re-pack it in a sensible way. It's worked out ok, lets just hope we can keep it tidy!!!
