[Closed] How do you store your bike stuff?

A mixture of shelving, plastic "set of drawers", specific drawer in the proper set of drawers for clothing. And the floor!

Only problem with the plastic set of drawers is that I can never remember which drawer holds what so I end up looking in them all. They are reasonably organised so brake spares are in one, drivetrain, etc.

Actual bike part I’ve a couple of the Stanley small part storage cases which work great. I’m more thinking all the soft bulky gear.

Plastic boxes, 1 for summer tops, 1 for winter, 1 for shorts, 1 for gloves, 1 for socks

We've an old fashioned coat-rack umbrella stand that I inherited which the helmets get stuck in where the brollies would normally go. The waterproofs also go there.

Gloves: I've a lot of mountaineering and ski gloves so the bike gloves just go with them in one of the chest o'drawers in the bedroom. Buffs are in my undie drawer!

Lights and chargers and various leads are in one cheap storage box, currently under the stairs.

One of the advantages of living alone - when I had my kitchen rebuilt I had a cupboard made specifically for bike stuff. But then stuff (helmets, gloves, glasses)sits on the side next to this cupboard. Another advantage of living alone- nobody cares if there’s a messy kitchen side (or 2) 😊

Hardtail/tools in the shed, full suss in the hallway, old one left on tbe turbo in the back room, backpack/helmet/gloves/jacket in the boot of the car (so i never forget them), clothes in the wardrobe, parts under the bed ( so my wife cant see them/forgets about them 😃).

Basically all over the place.

Box room full of kit in plastic storage boxes separated into road and mtb and top, bottom etc...

Also an 800mm cabinet in the conservatory for shoes and helmets with a 400 on top that houses camelbacks and bottles.

Garage has bikes and a massive shelving unit with 4 large boxes of bike bits in.

Oh, there’s a load of stuff in the attic too, a few 26” frames, wheels, tyre mountain etc...

Not sure. Ask my butler.

Various places depending on what it is

I rethreaded a cheap metal hanger with clothes pegs and use that to keep my gloves on. So much easier to keep them in pairs now. I had to reinforce it with some cord as it was bending due to the weight. The hanger hangs in my garage

I'm surprisingly good at remembering where I last put something, so generally it's all dotted around the garage / house / car boot and assuming no one else has moved it I can generally lay my hands on most things.

I also need a better / neater system 🙁

Two wardrobes in the downstairs bedroom - one each, full of cycling, climbing and walking gear, tents, ropes, mats, lids etc.
Also has a road bike on a turbo.

Bikes in garage with 2 boxes full of gear. One full of spares and a smaller one with essential bits and bobs for a trip away.

Tyres folded in a big bag and hung from the garage ceiling.
Cleaning stuff lives in a big box with the car cleaning stuff/moss remover etc.

The guitar stuff is EVERYWHERE. Two guitars and an amp downstairs, four guitars and an amp in the upstairs man cave along with the records, proper HiFi, Tamiya stuff, LEGO, video games, power kites etc.

I have too much stuff. 😶

As quietly and discreetly as possible :‑#

I keep a small corner of the garage free for a bike or two.

Mine is on big dug racking in really useful company boxes. Each separated by function. So gears in one, wheel stuff in another, hydration in another, saddles and seatposts in another, TT gubbins another, shoes etc. Helmets are stored in an open one for easy access. It was not cheap. But it is so easy now to just find stuff.

Clothes live in my wardrobe with my other clothes. Takes about a third of the wardrobe. I have a separate draw for cycling socks (and arms and leg warmers). Another box for gloves.

Recently (about 6 months ago) got a new shed and arranged everything beautifully.

Fitted 6 bikes in with shelves for clothes, gloves, spares tools etc and it was all weirdly tidy. So much so that it looked only half full. Deliberate ploy so I had room to work on the bikes. That was my first mistake.

Because spare space was seen it has now been filled with children’s garden toys and general garden crap that I intended to go elsewhere.

Takeaway? Keep your bike shed intimidatingly messy then it will stay a bike only space!

I have a basement.

Its all "stored" in the basement.

I theory my basement has four room and each room has a different purpose but thats not really what happens as tehre is only a concrete floor in the first room so I tend to stand well back and lob stuff in.

Its also downstairs obviously so when I come in for a ride stuff migrates to the hall and stays there until it gets hidytidied. not all at once obviously so things disperse.

Its on my list to sort... way down at the bottom

One of those Asgard combined shed and bike store. Plastic drawers and shelves for bike bits and kit. Couple of hangers for helmets. I’ve come a bit unstuck this week though. Bought a Stooge Speedball and it’s a tad tricky to get on the wall rack thing 😕

Because spare space was seen it has now been filled with children’s garden toys and general garden crap that I intended to go elsewhere.

I too have found this to my cost. Plan for the garage was to have a bike racking wall on one side, space in the middle for a work stand, then my tool box and a workbench on t’other.

What we have is the bikes packed in to one side, with a load of house related crap that has no place in the house filling the rest of the space, such there is barely room to squeeze through from one end of the garage to the other. This is not what I signed up for.

Jackets (4) all hung up in garage.
Gloves (7 pairs) 2nd drawer down in garage.
Helmets (2) hung up in garage.
Pads, dunno, in the shed somewhere.
Shoes (3 pairs) in garage in bags.
Everything else, in 2 big bags in the wardrobe.

Old kitchen cupboards & drawer units relocated to the shed.
This thread reminds me I need to have a sort out down there..

Helmets are mostly lined up on a shelf and other stuff is in some good old ikea kallax...

£6 Aldi garden ‘bins’ for clobber.
Bits and pieces are scattered amongst various tool boxes in the scrap yard of a garage.

In my defence I know where most stuff is within a square meter,,,,, but I tend to disappear into the garage in times of woe and mutter ‘I’m sure it was here’ when the mrs is in earshot 😉

All to hand, tidy and enough room for the Tourneo down the middle

Clothes in the spare room wardrobe, a box for tops, one for shorts and a winter box.
In the garage I have a few sets of plastic drawers, gloves in one, knee/arm warmers and buffs in another, gilets and waterproofs in another. There’s another set for various spares.
I’ve then put some hooks in the garage wall from which I hang helmets and shoes.
Works well.

The one thing I'm quite proud of its the ikea carrier bag storage thing which I keep gloves, hats, buffs etc in.

Tracey - where did you get the fold out arm for the bikestand? Was dreaming up an idea to bastardise a TV Wall Mount arm - is that what it is?

Bikes hanging on garage wall (apart from the one currently used most which stands on the floor in front of them ready to grab and go).

Spares, tools, etc. in various toolboxes and plastic boxes on the garage shelves.

Clothes and bags live in the spare bedroom. I have one of those double open clothes rails - jackets, etc. on hangers on one end. on the other end a couple of IKEA SKUBB hanging organisers with about 6 compartments each so plenty of space to separate out different bits of kit. Helmets go in a wardrobe/cupboard in the same room and bags in a big storage box under the spare bed.

Its an old tv wall stand bolted to a Park wall stand. Will take the weight of an Ebike and is flush with the wall when not in use

Bike hanging by the saddle on a wooden beam in garage
Tools and spares and in a 4 drawer tool box
Clothes in an indoor cupboard in plastic boxes (one for winter clothes, one for summer) except shoes that in garage
Other than seeing a bike hanging up you probably wouldn't even know I cycle.

All over the parish!
Bottoms & tops in boxes under the bed.
Subdivided by winter/summer.
Helmets/shoes in the cupboard under stairs with a box for gloves ,headwear & lights. All the spares in the shed (somewhere).

Bike clothes in a drawer in the divan bed. Parts on shelf in garage or shelf in cellar. Helmets hung on handle bars, tyres hung over the end of a kayak which is slung from the garage roof.
