Bike Racks for
Storage Even if you keep your
bike in the garage, don't assume that it is safe from thefts. Most bike thefts
actually occur from the home or garage, therefore, it is best to keep your bike
locked at home when it is not in use.
Most people do not have a lot of room for storage in their garage, especially
those who park two (or more) cars in there. Thus, bike racks on the wall or
ceiling will provide people with much more space in the garage.
When choosing a bike rack for the garage, you must first determine your
accessibility needs. Even though road bikes are very lightweight, they can be
quite cumbersome. You will need to pre-measure the location where you are going
to store the bike and look over the specifications and dimensions of the bike
rack before purchasing one. You need to keep in mind that you can use either the
garage floor, walls or ceiling.
Two-bar bike racks can be taken off of a vehicle and stored onto a garage wall
with the use of a garage mount. You can use either a ball-mounting device or a
type-approval device for the garage mount.
A brand known as “Garage Saver” is a versatile bike rack that will lessen the
space that a bike needs in the garage because it enables two bikes to be parked
side by side or opposite each other. The bikes’ axles are supported by
foam-coated depressions within carbon-steel wire hoops, thereby holding the bike
securely in place without scratching it. However, this rack should not be used
with bikes that have front-disc brakes. The device contains feet which are
rubber-tipped to prevent the bike from moving.
