Bike Storage: Wall mounts, stands, lock-ups, sheds, etc.

Yes, but you'll most likely have to take them all down in order to get just one out.

Even the one on the right? Maybe I'd be best to stick to two or it could get pretty frustrating, even if they are bikes that will only be used at the weekend. I was thinking of using Cycloc Endo hooks.

Considering bars are ~42cm wide, you could just squeeze 3 in, with a 2up-1down configuration, but that would be very very tight, and things like the pdals would have to in the right orientation and you'd have to make sure the saddle of the down bike didn't sit between the bars of the 'up' bikes.

Thanks, I will stick to two in that space and put the other two I need to accommodate in the flat horizontally on another wall (above the guest sofa bed!) I already have a normal Cycloc and Point pedal hooks so will order a couple of Endos for the vertical hanging.

For comparison, heres mine where the spacing hook to hook is about 30cm, and the total width from bar end to bar end is 103cm. If I could move the central hook up, i could probably lose that extra 10cm, but the bikes would be really difficult to get in/out.

Thanks, I can see exactly what you mean now. I will stick with two.

Does anything like this exist here? This is from years ago when I lived in NYC.

It's handy when you have landlords who don't want you drilling into walls and things.

Maybe this one instead? http://m.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/art/40296170/

Thinking about making my own rack to hold 1 bike out of industrial pipe, 2x poles, something like this or this.

Then wrap old inner tube where the frame contacts. Cost would be £15-20.
Thoughts?

Minoura makes one that holds 3 bikes in total. Super usefull if you've got 3 of them in the apartment but otherwise it just gets 2 out of the way.

Here's how it looks.

I also made two of these wooden wall mounts that open up for storing small items too. There's instructions online and the cost is significantly less if you do it yourself obviously. I think it cost around 30 euros for both of them. Just need to get them clear coated or painted and up on the wall they'll go.

where did you get the instructions?

I read through these on the instructables website and then did it more or less like that. Once you get the general idea of what you gotta do you can just wing it from there.

Lets see a pic of your Land Shark

It's been posted in various threads on here before so I'm not reposting the same pic again ;). You can look it up in the Land Shark thread though, it's the 9th bike on the 1st page.

Someone showed me this:

Because you're too weak to use a clug?

Perfect for emaciated roadies with t-rex arms

I don't even know what a clug is. I posted this for the benefit of the forum.
