You can get a bike standing vertically but not a huge amount more. I was wondering about making something like the Velogrip at <a href="http://velogrip.com/home/products/" rel="nofollow">http://velogrip.com/home/products/</a></p> <p>A scaffold pole and some wall mounts would make the rail and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find suitable hooks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13375#post-163878 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:49:13 +0000 algo 163878@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have one of said Aldi/Lidl pulley things you can have if you like - its construction doesn't inspire a huge amount of confidence but I am over-cautious. I went for one of the bolt-to-the-wall varieties that wingpig mentions. If you are not too bothered about the pulley system - perhaps if accessing certain bikes will not be a very frequent occurrence and you are happy to stand on steps then I'd get some decent strong triangular brackets welded up - it'll not cost you that much. I did some for my folks - I am a terrible welder so I won't offer to do it for you, but I know a man who could quite easily…. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13375#post-163877 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:48:59 +0000 SRD 163877@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lidl also sells sets of pulleys. Our two have been working well, but in a garage, maybe just some hooks on the ceiling would be easier? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13375#post-163876 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:41:18 +0000 wingpig 163876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Both Aldi and Lidl have done things which run from floor to ceiling with protruding rail-hooks, supporting either one or two bikes per protrusion, or bolt-individually-to-the-wall pairs of cantilevered hooks with purported space for three bikes (three indentations on the hooks, anyway - don't think I'd habitually stick that much on them); one of the latter is currently being tested by my parents and has so far supported an old steel-framed MTB and a heavyish folder without complaint on the two indentations closest to the wall. If there's sufficient vertical space for a pulley I'd maybe stick the one or two you work on most frequently on a pair of them, so that thay're more accessible for maintenance, with four against the wall in two pairs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13375#post-163873 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:33:58 +0000 tk 163873@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We are looking to increase the number of bikes we own in the near future and will likely need space to store up to 6 bikes securely within a garage. We could clear some garage wall space and there is a fairly large central area as we don't use it for a car. </p> <p>Any comments on the best way to store multiple bikes? I'm thinking some sort of vertical wall hanger may be the best option. </p>
