I made a shed just for bikes, keeps them out of the garage
We hang ours by the seat. I'll snap a pic later.
I have a shed. But it’s unheated. My precious new DH bike needs warmth, no?
I use the saris cycle glide above one of the cars with 6 trays. I modified the hooks to use a lock nut instead of the e-clips they are supplied with after reports of those guys popping off. I like it, I need my garage to be a multi-functional space and store a lot of stuff including two cars. Keeping bikes off valuable floor and wall space has been really good. I also have two hooks on a wall for the bikes that are currently getting the most use for my wife and I.
No issues with brakes from hanging them upside down, but, I ditched shimanos a long time ago.

no.
if dh bikes have motors....they should subtract brakes....and tape riders feet to pedals....cranks always moving...no coasting
He has two other ebikes, no?
Lean bikes on walls if I can get away with it so it's as easy as possible to get one out the door to go ride. My experience is the more work it is to get a bike out the door to ride on it the less likely it is that the bike gets used. This goes for all bikes in the household. Ideally the garage was only setup for bike storage where you could just roll the bike into a standing rack but right not garage is not secure enough for the fancy bikes.
Wife and I would fill that if we pickup new XC bikes. Current fleet is 13 with one for sale.
Bikes are leaned up against a wall in the home gym (what used to be a living room). You have to get past my dogs to steal them.
Hooks for front wheels? What did you use for that?
^^^^^^^^^^^
A PROFLEX? NOICE
How well does it work?
It's wild they brought it out in the 90s for both front and rear even on their single crown fork. However I have never talked to anybody who have ridden a bike with the tech. Also crazy the time and money K2 sunk into mountain biking buying Noleen and Proflex and then basically disappeared.
Only have one fully built up bike. Haven't had a fleet in a long time. Been accumulating quite a bit of backpacking gear though.
I like the Steady Racks because the pivoting function allows for tighter storage but easy access.
interesting. The garage has tall ceilings, 11 or 12’. I will look into this if the wall mount option still is too bulky.
ooh, those are nice. Also $70 per bike. I’ll give this cheapo option a try first:
TORACK Bike Storage Rack, 6 Bike Racks & 5 Hooks for Garage, Wall Mount Vertical Bicycles Hanger for Home Space Saving, up to 600lbs, 64-inch https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08MFJ2DXN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_ZXBF2F33VQF1MG5KXWW4
Is this for kids bikes at all? Curious how able kids are to operate this.
Yeah for kids bikes as well but I’ll just hang the bikes up for them if it comes down to that
