Just took a couple pics of the basement shop area. Sorry about the flashes but it is fairly dark down there. My lighting is good for working on bikes, not taking pictures. of the whole space.

Your bikes are so light you have to hook them to the floor?

Our 2 bikes are just standing in our 2nd bedroom (2br apt) but I'm going to re-organize our small storage room on our balcony to see if I can hang them in there.

mine stays on the left side of the bed.. my wife has been relegated to sleeping on the couch. i'd never leave the bike outside, afraid the carbon fork might rust.

No basements in Florida and no garage to put bikes in. Currently three of the bikes are in a large shed in the back yard and one is at my daughter's house, in her garage. I was thinking of getting another shed just for the bikes if I can convenience the wife to give up some of her plants or move them to another area (our entire back yard is landscaped).

I don't store it, I ride it. 4-6 times per week, so I have no need to store it.

Use one of these...they were on clearance for a while there - cheap and holds the bike against the way
Only storing one this way though...

Two bedroom apartment at work site-living room decor and the second bedroom with a home made four bike rack and a work stand. Six complete bikes and 3 projects.
Beach house-hooks from the ceiling in the workshop. Two complete bikes and a project.
Home-hooks from the ceiling in the garage. Garage has a 9' ceiling height, so it kills a car space. 8 complete bikes and a project.
Yep, I'm obsessed....

I feel like such a loser with only 2 bikes!
Oh well, at least they both fit nicely in my 4th BR / home office closet, along with all my cycling gear (work stand, pump, tools, spare wheels, helmet, kit, etc.)
It keeps everything nicely out of view - which makes for a happy wife

I don't have pictures as I would need to take like 8 different shots. I have two bikes on floor trainers center stage in the living room ready to ride if I decide I need a workout. One is my wife's bike, the other my hybrid. We have two bikes hanging on horizontal hooks in the garage, bought the hooks from Lowes and installed by me. I have two other bikes resting against a toolbox in the garage (these are the bikes we tend to use outdoors most so they are ready to go). When we bought the house I took over one bedroom for a workroom (my wife took another one that just happens to be larger), this "room" has six frames laying in various ways, a few sets of wheels hanging around, parts lying everywhere, bags/racks/cycling clothing in the closet and a toolbox full of bike related tools. One bike frame and fork is clamped to the workstand getting ready to get built into another fast roadbike.
