We all know that bicycles can be one of the hardest things to store in the garage. The problem is they are bulky and long. The bicycle hooks they have at the big box stores only allow you to mount the hooks where studs are located. This can add to the problem, you now have bikes hung every 16 in on the walls and the wall gets all marked up from the tires. The other wall mounted racks out there only hang the bikes perpendicular and not parallel. If you can only hang bikes perpendicular then I hope you have a very deep or wide garage. I know my garage was not built to store bikes in that direction. You need something that hangs it from the ceiling or parallel to the wall. This will save space and won't mark up the wall with rubber tread marks. So I'm sure your asking what I can get that will hang a bike from the ceiling or parallel to the wall. Most products sit on the ground which doesn't fix the original problem. One product that comes to mind is a product by Racor, this bike lift hangs bikes from the ceiling using space not used in the garage and it has a clever pulley system to lower or raise a bike when needed. This product works great, a little tough to install, but once installed the big problem is solved. The only down side is if you have kids you will have to help them lower their bike from the ceiling. My favorite product for bikes is the Monkey Bar Shelf System; this product allows you to hang the bike on a rack under the shelf allowing you to adjust the racks height from the floor and wall, for full versatility. This rack system allows you to hang the bike parallel or perpendicular to the wall. This product also is low enough that children can get their bikes down on their own. I hope this gives you some great ideas to storing your bikes in the garage.
