2 people, 2 bikes and a 700 sqft apartment
Ok, I did a search on this group looking for bike storage solutions,
but didn't find anything (other than that eliminate the furniture post) that could prove useful. Basically, dh and I each have bikes and no place to put them (I mean, other than in the kitchen, but that means we can't get in there). We are interested in those bike racks that lean against the wall (gravity racks?) or some other similar situation. Basically, we can't really mount something to the walls or ceiling, a la the hooks, and are searching for something. Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks! Anne |

God intended you to eat while sitting on your bicycles. I take it that you are not allowed to drive nails or screws in the walls. Leaning shelves sound like a solution, but they may not work with bicycles, 'cause the distance from the wall to the center of gravity of the bikes may be too great, making them tippy. How about a pole that expands, putting pressure on floor and ceiling, and hanging the bikes from that? How about turning your bed into a sort of four-poster, with the bikes on top? How about a couple of hooks in the shower? |

God intended you to eat while sitting on your bicycles. He intended us to eat our tomato sandwiches while standing over the stainless steel kitchen sink. In fact, that's what stainless steel kitchen sinks where created for. Jelly donuts are best eaten while standing, too. And hot dogs. Especially if there's somebody standing in front of you. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

Ok, I did a search on this group looking for bike storage solutions,
I suppose switching to something like a folding bike is out? Is there a bike equivalent to renting a parking space? I have a 750 square foot house, but it's just me, so there's plenty of room for the bikes once I got rid of the bed. -- mac the naïf |

performance sells a rack stand that accomodates 2 bikes below and 2
bikes on top. About $70 AFAIR. Actually, I have one that I don't use and that I could give away for a fraction of the price. I am in the bay area. |
