Garage Bike Racks

 
Author: Thomas Morva
 

Organizing a garage so that one has optimum room for storage is a tiresome task that most garage owners put off for as long as possible. The space available for storage in a garage is often limited, and it is the place where things that don't fit in the house end up.

If one uses bicycle racks on the wall or ceiling, this frees up a lot of floor space.

Excellent bike storage solutions for the home and the small office can be configured using the floor, wall and ceiling racks on the deck or in the garage. Before selecting a bike rack for the garage, one has to consider accessibility issues. Though most road bikes are lightweight, their bulk is a big concern. One should pre-measure the location and examine the specs and dimensions for the final rack choices before one makes a purchase.

The Garage Mount fixes onto a garage wall or floor to provide simple storage for two-bar bike racks, should one wish to remove them from the car. Two different types of Garage Mounts are available - a ball-mounting design and a type-approval design.

The Garage Saver is a great solution to bike storage problems. The versatile design minimizes the amount of space the bikes take up in the garage, by allowing two bikes to be parked side by side (or opposing each other). The foam-coated depressions in the carbon-steel wire hoops gently cradle the bike's axle, and securely hold the bicycle in place without scratches. (It is not recommended for bikes with front disk brakes, however.) The rubber-tipped feet prevents the bike rack from moving or slipping, and the overall small footprint still leaves room to get the vehicle in the garage.
