Common Areas for A Bike Storage Rack

Unfortunately, my roommates won’t let me slap a bike shelf hanger in any old corner of our place. Nobody complained about Jared’s 15 new potted plants in the sunroom this month, but you lean one vintage Peugeot in the dining room and all of a sudden everyone’s got an interior decorating opinion.

Let’s take a look at a few great places to store your equipment with proper bike wall mounts. Any one of these locations are bike storage ideas just a few screws away from serving as bike hangers by this weekend. All you’ll need is a bit of open wall space. 

Basement

Basement bike storage ideas are risky propositions. First of all, a lower percentage of riders find themselves with basements each year. If you’re a city dweller shopping for a bike stand and storage, you may use the term basement to refer to your entire apartment. But for those with ample floor space and entire rooms devoted to storage, bike wall mounts should still be a high priority.

Getting your mountain bike off two feet and onto the walls saves the floor space for a ping pong table, and your bicycle storage mount becomes an accessory piece that helps tie the room together.

Using an adjustable bicycle wall hanger in your basement will also help your bike from slowly becoming trapped behind the pile up of time. If you start leaning your bikes along the wall, before you know it there will be 16 photo albums and two boxes of lost and lonely socks between you and your favorite ride.

Shed

A shed is a lot like a basement that’s exposed to the elements. Bike storage in sheds, therefore, should be wall mounted within easy access of any barn style doors. The reason to keep your wheels hanging is simple.

Bike storage in shed spaces can do a whole lot more than a plank of bike wall holder wood. You can pimp out your shed with all sorts of bike accessories and turn it into an outdoor workspace, or you can simply take advantage of your bike hooks and accompanying bike shelf to keep all your tools organized until it's time to do some tinkering.

A few ratchets, an oil can and a crusty rag and voila! Your bike shelf hanger is suddenly a diy bike rack ready for repairs.

Unlike a basement or shed storage, storing your bike inside invites eyes on your ride. That means if you’re hanging up your mountain bike in the front hall, you’re going to want to make sure all the details of your bike wall mounts are looking crisp.
