With an impending relcation to America and a move from a house to a city apartment, I’ve been trying to think of a nice way to store the bikes.

With no garage the bikes will be on display, so it needs to look nice, but the main issue is we can’t mount anything to the walls, other than the odd picture or two. So does anyone know of a nice free standing option, rather than just chucking them behind the sofa!

There are some good free standing systems. Just look for “bike storage” on CRC, Evans, Wiggle etc.

I’ve been looking at some for my new garden office/man cave/pool room.

I use one of these – works well for me:

Gear up freestanding oak rack?

I have one of these…http://www.cycloc.com/

I really fancy one of those Cyclocs but seriously how much for a bucket?!

I know it looks like a bucket, but I’m quite impressed by how solid/sturdy it is. Bike feels very secure in it.

A mate has the Topeak one, wqorks well for him and I’m looking at getting one. Works if you put the same bike in the same place each time and you need the long arms if you have proper bars on the bikes. He has 4 on his.

Cyclocs can hold a bike vertically too.

I have 3. Think I need 2 more.

eBay/gumtree is your friend

Few ideas here : http://www.decoratingyoursmallspace.com/creative-bike-storage/

I know a few are wall mounted but little different to putting a picture up in terms of number of holes

The wall mounted ones are a lot nicer to look at, i’ll have to see what I can get away with!

All those bicycles seem to have been equiped with toothpicks instead of handlebars which prob helps with the tidyness.

Loft apartments, tall ceilings and clean/minimal looking bikes help most of those look tidy. May not look quite as good in a normal UK house with a MTB, wide bars and dripping mud.

Krix: what bikes do you store on yours?

Just put up a new Cycloc tonight.
Vertical.
