I use the YardStash product to store my bike outdoors. It’s held up well during the winter and is easy to set-up. http://www.yardstash.com or Amazon has some more info.

Frank- how tight to the ceiling can the pulley system get you? I have ~10 foot ceilings and am not sure if I’ll be hitting my head on the bikes…

Any thoughts?

A response to Jessi, above, the folding bike would take up the least amount of space, and is a great solution for urban getting around. However, if your floor space is limited, you will still run into it when you don’t want to. I would encourage you to give the pulley system a try, if your apartment has enough height. We use the pulleys to display/store all kinds of bikes in our small, narrow, but lofty storefront. The bikes have to come up and down many times a day, over the heads of customers and working mechanics, and believe me, it gets to be as easy as operating a set of venetian blinds.

I am thinking about buying a bike for my commute – but storage is a huge concern. I live in NYC, in a tiny apartment already crowded with too much stuff. I do have wall space in the stairwell but it’s to high for me to reach. I thought about a pulley system but it seems too hard to deal with every day and I know it would just be a pain in the ass. I think a folding bike is my best bet but I don’t know. Anyone have any innovative storage approaches for tiny city apartment life?

I use two devices for the 3 bikes. The 2 less frequently used go on a freestanding racks similar to the Delta Michelangelo above. The daily commuter hangs on my repair stand.

I have a wooden rack made by a local Vancouver BC store. It holds two bikes horizontally and is freestanding. It is pretty nice looking, for a bike stand, which is nice because it essentially lives in my living room.

Those Cycloc units look cool, but $126.00!?!? I’m grateful for having a shed!

I’m entering a new stage in my life, kids are getting their own bikes. Up until this point, we managed to find room for all the bikes. But with the new ones, I’m seriously looking at having to hang them on walls. Are there any longterm issues with wheels when you do this? I have some bikes that only come out at ceretain times of the year, so they could be haning for five or six months straight.

Three bikes in the tiny, overstuffed shed, four bikes under tarps in the yard, and one in the kitchen. No special hanging equipment used…everything is resting on their tires.
