Find a wall. Lean your bike(s) against it.

For about 20$ on Amazon bought a 2 pack of the bike storage pulley systems for my garage. Took a few hours to install to the drywall on the ceiling but def worth it to free up some room. Simply bought a few 2 x 4's and attached them to the studs with Lag Bolts then attached the pulleys to them. For under 30$ both my roadie and TT bike are safely out of the way.

Big fan of the Steady Rack vertical storage hangar. Load bike up, rotate it to wall so it takes less space. You can easily fit multiple hangars next to one another.

Bought these off of Amazon but have not had a chance to install them yet.

I have the pulley system installed but its a bit of a pain to use. Now only my wife uses it to pull up the heavy mountain bike.

For the other bikes - I have some 2x4's screwed into the garage ceiling with bike hooks (something like this guy's photo below)

No coasting in running and no crying in baseball

I ordered this yesterday: https://www.amazon.com/...o-Bike/dp/B009ZN0OTK

Need more space in my garage and since I am renting, I prefer to not have to do any mounting to ceilings or walls. This seems to be working well, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Will not fit my P5 as tire and downtube dont have clearance for the "V" of the rack. So be careful of that.

I have 3 of these and they're great. I have another, more costly standing bike rack that I screwed into the wall, but don't like the hooks nearly as well as these so I'll probably take it down and install two more of these. For a low-cost solution it's awesome--stable, safe, plenty of clearance to the wall for everything except my MTB (which requires just a little rotation of the bars, nothing annoying).

Try the clug. A buddy pointed me in the direction and it is awesome. Never had an issue and it is so cheap.

Spare bedroom in my condo is bike, camping, other sports equipment, and tool storage. Bikes hang from the front wheel on the ceiling- tandem kind of leans rather than hangs. Racks for other stuff.

If you are not set on hanging your bike(s), these things are great. https://www.amazon.com/...2Bstand&th=1#Ask

+1 on the SteadyRack, I have 5 of them in my garage and no regrets. Not the cheapest option out there, but very solidly built, no funky DIY skills needed like rigging up your own pulley system and as space-efficient as any system I've seen that doesn't involve winching your bike up to the ceiling (which wouldn't work for me anyway as my garage doesn't have a high ceiling). Also like that the only contact points with the bike are the tires, I'm probably being silly but I don't fancy the idea of hanging a bike with a nice set of carbon rims up on a hook.

So I'm assuming there are no issues with carbon fairing wheels and the Steadyrack system? Toing to measure the wall space in my office when I get home and order them tonight. Been looking for an option, but I have HED wheels that will always be on at least one of my bikes and didn't want to hang from the wheel. Also like that these allow you to sort of fold your bike against the wall a bit.

No issue at all, the front tire sits nicely in the rack without touching the rim, and the rear tire rests against the wall. Only issue I could see would be if you had rims that were a lot wider than your tires. Probably also not ideal to let tires go completely flat (e.g. Latex tubes that haven't been used in a while), I guess having the weight of the bike sitting on a flat tire wouldn't be great for the rubber.

Just an FYI, if you are interested in the Steadyrack system, make sure you check into whether it is compatible with your aero bike. It worked perfectly with my Cervelo R3, but did not work with my Felt B12. The gap between the tire and the down tube is too small to fit the metal bar that the wheel is cradled in. Luckily I saw it before putting the bike on an off too many times. Would definitely cause wear issues in the carbon. Returning and back to the drawing board for more options.

Have any of you guys/gals had any experience with this bike rack:

I have 10 bikes that I need to find efficient storage for in my garage. Wondering if any of you have suggestions...

that seems like an expensive way to buy a 2x4 and some hooks (which would, for 6 bikes, cost you about $20).

For consideration: I believe D.C. Rainmaker said that the clug will "fail" if your tires deflate. So not a great solution if your bike is going to be hanging around for extended periods.

That said, it looks like a great solution for bikes in regular rotation. Probably the cleanest setup on the go.

Personally, I like this one due to ability to pivot up against a wall:

I don't have one myself (old school lean-on-wall or rear wheel stand approach!), but I've always liked the look of the Cycloc system:

A 6' length of 2"x4" and two large storage hooks from the dollar store.
Total cost - about $5. The simplest solution are often the best.

Photo: I pulled this off the internet, but basically this is what I have in my garage, but for six bikes.

For all of the vertical solutions out there - other than the $70/bike Steadyrack - anything out there to secure the rear wheel?

I'd like to store three bikes vertically against the wall, but its windy in Oklahoma and they could easily get blown into a car with the garage door open.
