Hung from the front wheel, the bike can be almost flat against a wall, or two or more bikes laid against the wall like overlapping shingles.

I got 22 bikes along a 17-foot wall, still easy to remove and replace one. Note that this room had only a 6-1/2 foot ceiling height, but still has some room underneath the bikes for bagged stacks of tires and "under-bed" storage Tupperwares.

If I may make one suggestion, it is that this is what your apartment should look like after N+1 has had a good run:

FTW... Darn, I have a way to go...
