Published: December 5, 2006

With space becoming limited, garage bike racks are becoming increasingly popular for bike storage. There are a few different options: bike hangers, bike stands and wall mounts.

Bike hangers are a way to store bike from a ceiling, generally in a garage. This garage bike rack consists of hooks that the tires rest on while the bike is turned upside down. Proster offers an extremely affordable bike hanger for only $8.46 at www.garagecabinetsonline.com. Model PIW-1R requires no assembly and has a sturdy steel structure. Another great garage bike hanger is available at www.mccoolsgarage.com. Complete with a rope locking mechanism, this bike lift is also made out of steel. Do not hang bikes that weigh more than fifty pounds.

Bike stands are more kid friendly because no lifting is required. Usually the front tire of the bike is slipped into a placement holder. Bike racks can hold from one bike up. If interested in building your own bike stand, visit www.eurospares.com. Their plan includes two pieces of 72” x 18” plywood, one piece of 78” x 24” plywood, two pieces of 24” x 18” plywood, three 2” x 4” x 22.5” crossbars, one 2” x 6” x 22.5” crossbar and two pairs of sturdy hinges. The site claims that the construction is easy and the end result will hold up to 450 pounds. Visit www.stacksandstacks.com to purchase a bike stand. They sell a sturdy 46” x 29” x 48.5” steel frame bike rack for only $129 that holds up to six bikes. It includes hangers for accessories and helmets. This particular garage bike rack can be adapted for indoors or outdoors.   

Wall mounts are another hanging system that utilizes the wall instead of the ceiling. The website www.barrybrown.us suggests a way to build a wall mount bike rack at home for around eight dollars. The necessary supplies are two curtain rod hangers, two 2’ x 4’ pieces of wood, two 1 wood screws, two 2.5 wood screws, two 5’ x 1’ pieces of felt, drill and bits, a screwdriver, a level, a stud finder and a hot glue gun. If building your own sounds like too much of a hassle or you do not have the time, visit www.thestoragestore.com. They offer a unique solid oak wall mount that holds one bike and has three additional pegs for helmets or accessories. The model is built by Sports Solutions and cost only $44.99 plus shipping and handling.

Whether building your own or purchasing a garage bike rack, you will undoubtedly wonder why you had not thought of the idea sooner. Anyone will love the room that bike storage gives to any garage.
