How can you store the family's bikes without taking up too much space in the garage? Here are a few tips that will help you save space!

Creating a bicycle room

Are you tired of seeing your garage or worse, your entrance hall cluttered with bikes? There are solutions for creating a real bike room at a lower cost. Some small garden sheds take up little space and can be transformed into a bike room. By choosing to position the door on the width of the building, you will have a full length space just for your two wheels. The trick is to choose a modular and customisable wooden shed in which a rack can be installed. Attached to one side of the façade or installed in a courtyard, this system takes up little space and allows you to clear out the clutter in your garage.

How to store your bike in a garage

If there is one unused area in a garage, it is the ceiling. Some manufacturers have come up with hinged bike racks that hang from the ceiling. However, be careful to calculate how much space your garage door takes up when opened and how high you need to keep your car inside.

Another solution is to hang your bikes by the wheel. Invest in a bike rack with a system similar to a coat rack. Are you a handyman? Assemble a board and a few hooks with "strap" rings and your bikes will finally be out of the way!

Are you a fan of the rack? Now it is available in a 360° swivel version. Space saving guaranteed!

DIY ideas for storing your bike

With a little imagination, everyday objects can be given a second life. This is the case of the wooden pallet, which, when placed vertically and fixed to the ground, is transformed into an eco-friendly bicycle park! Some DIY artists exhibit their latest creations on the net. We fell in love with the very clever steel barrel cut in half lengthways, with spaces for wheel locks cut out with a chainsaw. A natural version, made from a wooden trunk, also caught our eye.

Whether you buy or build it yourself, the new generation of bicycle parking is either small or on display for all to see. Make your choice!
