Advice Required - Indoor Bicycle Storage Racks

Hi All

I'm seeking an indoor bike storage rack for my bikes for space saving reasons.

Can any-one recommend or critique inside bike racks.

There seem to be 3 main types; 
- ceiling hoists for storing bikes from ceilings
- one up bike holders ; wall attachments to hang bikes on by the wheel
- floor to ceiling stands (poles that bikes attach to)

Any thoughts on the quality & use of these or recommendations of brands and types.

Cheers
Jo

Hi Jo,
I actually produce an indoor bike carrying system that is superior to all of those mentioned above.
I'm at work now, so not enough time to go into too much detail here. However I'll tell you more about it soon, so don't act on anything else yet.
Thanks - Phil

Almost that amazing as magnets. I should have time to relieve your suspense later on today with a few pictures.

Check out my photo's page and you can see what the Bike Storage Device looks like being used in various locations and how well it could suit your needs.

if you want to save space i recommend you buy a storage device which you can place multiple bikes on

Hi Jo,

I've just been through this process too - almost all the rack seemed practical but ugly.

I ended up getting a cycloc and just installed it last week - I'll try to remember to put up a photo when I get home.

Its a really well designed nice looking indoor rack that made my bike look like a piece of art on the wall.

They are available in a few places around Australia and online.

Search for cycloc on google.

Hi Eytan,

 

I know what you mean about the 'looks' of most bike racks. The one that I've designed has been specified to pass the 'partner's asthetics' test.

In other words, if you're partner saw one in thier living room without knowing it's purpose, would they reply "that's a lovely piece of sculpture" or "get that ugly piece of  #@*% out of my house"?

 

There's a few other advantages it has over the cycloc as well.

 

1. It doesn't require you putting fixings into the said partners wall

2. It can hang up to four bikes on the same bike carrier

3. It hangs them verticaly, rather than horizontally, leaving more precious wall space for other things...  such as said partners antique desk or what ever.

4. It promotes domestic harmony and encourages a cycle centred lifestyle.

 

check them out on ebay under bicycle accessories and home storage solutions.

Hi Phil

Wish I'd heard about it before the cycloc - I'm very happy with it though so far.

I couldnt find the link on ebay - can you be a bit more specific?

cycloc looks clever, but what does it do to the bikes paintwork?
