Hello,
I'm planning one of the last parts of our house renovation, the bike storage and downstairs loo.
The loo is already in place, just waiting for it's cubicle building around it, it'll be a similar size to a standard cubicle in a public toilet - details beyond this are irrelevant, lets talk about bikes…
so, next to this I'm wanting to store, currently, four adult bikes and I'd like to be able to walk into the room and with minimum faff, get any of the four bikes out. This is because my bikes get used most so are last in the stack, this means the wife struggles to get at hers due to the effort involved and fear of scratching pedals on frames
I'm thinking hanging them by front wheel / back wheel / front wheel / back wheel from hooks on the underside of a storage shelf (might as well use the room height) is the way to go,
However, while our daughter's balance bike takes up little room currently, at some point I'm hoping she'll have at least one bike to join us on, possibly even a road & mountain bike (to match us) as we do cycling as a family activity.
There is also the possibility of another child in the future also having bikes.
so, I'm after advice on storage, the floor space is 4ft x 4ft (possibly being a bit conservative with that)
Ceiling height is above 6ft and rising towards the back wall.
Photos of how you've done this would be appreciated.
