How many bikes are you looking to store?

Before kids we kept our road and mountain bikes on a rack like this:


It's still my favorite, it was the easiest to get the bikes on and off, and every bike was accessible. Once kids came along that rack didn't work so well with their smaller bikes, so I got something like this:


It worked well but you needed to be able to access both sides to be able to fit all the bikes in, and the kids would often knock out a bike on the other side to get theirs in. Once the kids moved out I went to stands like this since I no longer had enough open floor space for all the bikes in 1 spot.

They sort of suck, the bikes aren't too stable in them, and they tend to slide around. Maybe there are better versions, but I'm not too fond of having all sorts of small stands laying around waiting to trip someone or they get kicked and move from where I last left it. Once I can get the kids to clear out their stuff I'm going back to either the first rack, or if I can clear enough wall space, something like this.



(I have 2 bikes on these now.) I know you don't want a wall mount but it is really nice to get the bikes up and out of the way.
