We are just about into our new house. A few more loads from the old place an we will be done. My legs have had quite the workout going from a three story building to two. One benefit of the new place is a two car garage. With our bikes, camping gear, skis, etc there is a lot to fit in the garage and still leave room for the Jeep.

I’ve seen a few floor racks for bikes and some hanging racks. Hanging would be fine but the garage door would hit any more than a couple.

I’ve come up with an idea based on a recent hitch rack by Arbutus Racks. A raised front wheel slot holder.

Basically it’s a series of wheel slots, but raised up 3 feet. Bikes will sit with their front wheel up in the slot bringing the back wheel much closer reducing the overall bike footprint. Alternating the double sided design means each bike will fit within 12 inches. Should be able to fit 10+ bikes in a footprint of one car, while keeping every bike accessible and maintain access to the workstand and tool box.

More to come when we get back from our road trip!

Anyone else have ideas for garage bike storage?
