Your garage is an area of your home just waiting for its smart space to be used!
Garage bike racks maximize existing space by moving your bikes to unused areas of your ceiling, walls and floor.
This helps you organize your garage by making the most of space you already have and saves time retrieving items later. Bicycles are awkward to store at the best of times and when there’s a lack of space they usually wind up blocking walk ways or end up in an untidy pile.
If your garage is small with good ceiling height, then hanging your bikes from the ceiling will dramatically increase your space. Properly secured static hooks will be perfect if you are storing your bikes for winter or only use them occasionally. If you intend using them more often then installing a hoist system will be more practical.
A garage with plenty of uncluttered and accessible wall space is also ideal for mounting your bikes. There are racks that will support your bike with wheels touching the floor and racks that can be mounted higher up the wall for hanging your bikes vertically or horizontally. Just make sure the wall you are using will support how you are going to mount the racks and that it will handle the full weight of the suspended bikes.
You can use floor standing racks if your garage has enough free floor space. There are no installation hassles and the racks can be moved around as needed. Locate them as far away from your vehicles as possible in case the racks are accidentally knocked over. Floor rest bike stands are another option to floor standing racks. They normally support two bikes and can be installed outside as well. They are easy for children to use and probably represent the design least likely to damage your bicycles.
