How do you store multiple bikes?
Need some ideas on how to store multiple bikes in new house with less space
than the old house. We do have long and tall garage. Please post pics and suggestions.

if you can hang it vertically, alternate front and rear wheels between bikes. this would take less space.
( but i would not hang carbon wheels)

Six bikes in four horizontal feet for $90. Hooks are too small for my Pugsley, but otherwise it works well for the price.

That is assuming you have 6 bikes that all are the same geometry with the same type of handle bars, and don't mind whacking your bikes around and catching cables when loading or unloading them.
The Home Depot thing looks good - it'd be nice if the hangers would slide easily so you could move bikes out of the way to load and unload easier.

The Fast track hooks do slide along the rail. It makes for easy adjustments.

I moved into a 3 bedroom duplex recently....bedroom, guest room, bike room. Luckily all hardwood
My plan is to get 2 1x4's or similar and put some bike hooks in one, and then attach one to the wall for the bike to hang on and the other for the rear wheel to rest on. Have enough rack space for 4 bikes and then a work stand and some shelves for tools / parts

how? your bike weights at most 30lb (mtn bike) your body weighs over 100 lbs + bike. Wheels are not delicate little things.. they are built to take a large amount of abuse and hanging from them is very minor.

One is in the living room, one in the dining room (the wife's), one in the music room, one in an upstairs spare room, one in the basement and two in the garage. Easy

That's not really how deformation works. You have elastic deformation when a force is applied that doesn't cause strain that exceeds the elastic limit, if you stay in this region any deformation returns back to the undeformed state once the force is removed. If you exceed that limit you get plastic deformation, that is 'permanent' deformation. You also have deformation from fatigue which occurs from forces being applied below the elastic limit, but the strain is applied and then removed, reapplied, and on and on. Eventually there is fatigue failure, but this only occurs from the force being applied and removed repeatedly, if the force is applied and not removed there wont' be fatigue failure, and since you're below the elastic limit there is no plastic deformation. ... so on to the point, the force from a bike hanging is well below the elastic deformation limit, and the application of force doesn't really fall into fatigue territory ... so no worry about deformation over time

^What keeps the bikes from tipping over? I've been thinking about doing something similar with cabinets/drawers underneath to store helmets, shoes, pump, etc.
--
I've had this half-baked idea floating around my head to modify a display rack from a rug store. The kind where you can browse through rugs like turning pages of a book. They are quite sturdy, usually made of steel tubing, and tall enough to hang bikes from one wheel. Add some hooks and then you could flip through your bikes to decide which one you'd use that day.

I have access to copious amounts of angle iron.
I even fabbed up a truck rack before I got a really bike rack.
It serves as a storage rack now.

LOVE the ceiling lifts! I just have simple hooks in the bottom of the roof trusses to hang my tires from. If my garage was taller, I'd go for a lift type system though for sure, if for nothing else but the coolness factor.
