Owning vehicles like truck, sedan, motorcycle, or bike cycle makes you have to build garage. It is impossible to let them outside your home without covering or protection. If you have some bikes for you and your kids, you cannot put them inside your home. The reason is after you use the bike, it will be dirty to put them inside. So you have no choice except building garage for your bikes. Then it should be completed with proper racks to save space. There are a lot of different styles related to the garage bicycle storage units. Some styles will keep your bike resting on the floor and others apply unique and easy lifting devices, so that the tires will be up off the ground.
The first option is having bicycle stand which is suitable for you who use your bicycles often. It will be more convenient if you just push your bike out of the stand and hop on. But this type of stand needs larger floor space. Single folding wall mounted bike rack is also recommended for you who have limited space and use your bike often. This is so simple and affordable. Also, you can operate it easily by simply lift the bike up on to the rack and you are good to go.
But if you have more than a bike, you should choose another bike rack. That is multiple bike rack pole which can be mounted to your wall or free standing. So, you can keep two or more bicycles one on top of the other. Truly, this will save the garage space but of course the top bicycles are not relatively easy to access. Another unique rack is bike pulley or hoist. This is easy to use and access whenever you want to use your bike. Just simply attach the pulley to your bike and tighten the hoist to lift it up off the ground. Then, lower the bike and head out the door. But this style need to have the pulley or hoist installed first.
Bike hooks are also great choice because you will have bicycle storage by simply getting a large hook at any hardware store and screwing it into the wall or ceiling. However, you need to anchor the hook well enough to support your bike’s weight. Whatever, your choice is, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.
