When I was in a bike shop recently I noticed that they had bikes hanging by the back wheels from large hooks screwed into the ceiling.

This seems a good method of storage for space saving.

How do you store yours ?

Front wheel off all but the one I'm regularly using and stacked next to each other. Keep meaning to fix some hooks to hang the front wheels but never get round to it.

In the cellar hung from wheel high from hooks in the rafters. Take much less room and easy to get any of them.

All lent against each other in my hallway - against another once magnolia wall. Lost too many bikes outside to do that again.

just built an A frame storage rack, 2.4m of 2x3 for the rail and another length of 2.4m 2x3 cut into 4 lengths bolted together makes the legs holds 7 bikes

Randomly scattered around the garage. Only 1 bike is locked up. Complacent, moi?

2 pallets on opposite walls of my garage with a scaffold bar bridged between. Bikes seats hooked over the bar with the front wheels on the floor (like a transition area at triathlon).

Large unfriendly dog lives in the garage with them.

Thanks guys

There are a few interesting storage methods there.

Ive bought the large screw in hooks to start with but may progress to somethign a little more sophisticated as time goes on.
