I've pretty much got a clean slate, short of having a third garage bay. Would love to include storage for bikes in the shop as well, but the garage will probably be big enough to store most of our bikes.
So, with a clean slate, what would you do? Scale? Layout? I wanna hear as many suggestions and potential pitfalls as I can.
An area approximately the size of a single car garage will give you lots of room.
HAve it built with 10 foot ceilings so that you can store your bikes up high, hang them from the roof where they will be completely out of the way, they can not get scratched or damaged. A 10 foot ceiling gives you full 7 foot head room under the bikes where they are hanging.
You can put in your trainer, a workbench, tool boxes etc and you have lots of room.
I am a big fan of storing the bikes UP high where they are out of the way.
