Big sideways hooks on the wall so you can hang them by a wheel is the space saving way to do it. Not the most stylish but it works

If I had to keep my bikes in the house I'd look at a way of using the wasted space above the stairs!

Was my solution. Less space take up than wheel hooks.

I considered arranging along the big wall three ducks style!

The pedal hooks are ace!

I used one of these when I was renting:

Doesn't take up [i]too[/i] much space or look [i]too[/i] grim i nthe living room (YMMV / your spouse may disagree)

I like JV and the pedal hook a lot.

If you keep the bike high and have the tyres touching the wall at the bottom then it doesn't matter if the bars etc stick out high up, though that might not apply to 7800mm bar'd mtbs (tho any can be turned 90 deg).

If they're clean then it looks nice too, loving the duck idea.
