TTQ B4U Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Okay CR Cyclists, what's the best system/way to store bikes. We have four of them and I see tons of means to store them. Not just on hooks from the ceiling in the winter but something that my wife and son can take the bike down from too. Show me what you use or would use if you had four full size bikes to store.

Zx2guy19 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 My buddy has this and it's seriously awesome. Mounted the remote on the wall and just unravels it down when him and his fiance are ready to ride. https://www.amazon.com/Garage-Gator-GGR220-220-Pound-Residential/dp/B00260GL1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476370338&sr=8-1&keywords=garage+bike+storage+electric+hoist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 ^saw those and I cant imagine a better set up plus it can be used for other things besides bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...it was easy as shit for him to install, looks clean and is easy to use. It's a win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my short-list for sure. On the wall like a hipster. LOL. Actually the old-school way that I'm thinking of which is a really simple and clean way is with these hooks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FGTTEW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=252YBUCMFWRFS&coliid=I38ANRK30T0290 I like the fact that it has a holder/stop for the rear tires too. I'm thinking in front of the wife's van high enough to clear the hood but low enough that my son who is strong and my wife can get to them. Even if I can only fit 3 side by side to leave plenty of space I'd be good. I can hang mine from the ceiling and get it down without issue if I'm going to ride. Keep them coming guys! Love the new ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I made a simple L bracket, screwed to the stud in ceiling and it hangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I use the hooks you posted, for all 6 of the bikes we hang. Me and my wife can get them down, sometimes she has a harder time getting them to get hooked back on however. The hoist is pretty slick, i have seen those in action, nice!

gillbot Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I use these screwed into boards that rest on the rafters. http://t.harborfreight.com/jumbo-bike-utility-hook-47751.html?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F I didn't put them into the rafters directly so I can move them with the boards as needed.

kirks5oh Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I store my kids bikes on hooks from the ceiling. My road bike stays in my closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
