Cycle storage
Need to store 4 push bikes in the garage whilst not taking up alot of floor space.
Thinking of a couple of these. Anyone got any experience with this brand / product as a few keen cyclists on here.

Flipping heck, they're not cheap are they!
When I had space I just had a couple of long hooks on the wall, one of each wheel and hung then upside down. Cost about £5 each bike..

Ditto - two cheap hooks for each one and some tape over the hooks to stop scratching. Those are silly money.

Re: Cycle storage
Problem is I don't want to mount on the wall hence the interest in a floor mounted system.
Also they need to look good and stored near and tidy. Tbh I don't want push bikes in the garage but it's more practical for the wife and kids so if they have to come in the man cave they need to look organised and take up minimal space to ease the pain of having to put them in my space.

Re: Cycle storage
Good idea Jon and we've got a bloody great big one at the bottom of the garden but the missus and kids need something with easier access at the front which is fair enough I suppose.D6Nutz wrote:Buy a shed

Re: Cycle storage
8 of these will do the trick. Make your own frame and they can fit anywhere.

Re: Cycle storage
If you don't want to hang them from the walls or ceiling and you don't want to take up much floor space and if they have to go in the garage then it looks like your only option is the stand.

Third of the price, same solution. A mate has this system and although it looks like it would fall down it's surprisingly stable.
