Storage options

Gang,

After last Saturday's NBD, I need to arrange for storing the bicycles in my garage in an efficient way. I have 4 + my wife's, so 5 total.

I'd like to store them on one wall, vertically. This is one idea:

Options? Suggestions?

Thanks - y'all are great!

Gary

Bikes are okay, I guess.

Plain old screw-in bike hooks are cheaper and probably more versatile. Those hooks on the right did hold bikes until recently when the bikes moved to hoists on the ceiling.

For my road bikes, I like the racks specifically designed for bikes with fenders. The rack has a slightly smaller profile and less side to side motion with the narrow wheels.
