- Steadyrack and Velo Hinge racks are awesome, but check out this DIY option before you buy one. Vertical bike storage solution that's cheap, secure, compact, and scalable. Effortless loading and no lifting!

Shop organization and optimization is perhaps one of the greatest activities
Great tip to avoid the wheel flop, always bugged me, and I've worked on a few solutions, but this one is pretty clean
Ha nice!
Great NO LIFT bike solution! I joined 3 pieces of wood 2x6 with pocket holes and screwed it to the wall studs. It looks great and allowed me to customize the hight of 3 bikes. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
Thank you for sharing this storage solution with us. I bought the DaHanger horizontal storage hangers, they are effective, but expensive. The solution you present looks doable and cost effective!
Good organized solution 👍 I've hung bikes off hooks as well, and alternated front wheel/rear wheel hanging for each bike to help with handlebar contact. Bit easier with road bikes though since they're lighter and easier to move around
Thanks for the video and the idea! I used hooks in this configuration as a no-lift storage solution for my very heavy ebike. I have cement block walls so I installed a treated 2x4 vertically on the wall with Tapcons, then was able to play around with the hook spacing without punching additional holes in the actual wall.
Great ideas using two hooks for each front wheel and the ramp! In the past (in our previous house) I hung bikes from the ceiling using hooks. Currently using floor stands, but they take up a good amount of space. Side note - Your work space is much tidier than mine. 🙂
Brilliant. You've definitely got your act together. Thanks for sharing.
The staggered height idea is game changing; as well as the ramp.
Thank you for sharing. Just emptied my Amazon cart. 😆
Haha nice!
Excellent solution! You can also mount the hooks in scraps of 2x4, then screw them to the studs, moving the tires off the wall.
Great idea. Thought about this too, but the stud spacing worked out
Great thinking - elegant solution, I'm going with this, thanks!
My wife says I’m the only guy on the planet who spends so much time in the basement working on bikes, cleaning his workshop (not to mention the $$ spent) or riding the Kickr. I send her bike sauce dude videos. That learns her. But good. I did the same kind of hook arrangement for storage near my basement workshop. Except I just alternate hanging the bikes from the front wheel (handlebars up) or rear wheels (handlebars down). This works well. But I do have to lift the bike. Which violates bike sauce dude’s no lifting requirement. He has me beat there. Nice.
😂
Just the video I was looking for. Cheers!
For fat tire bikes, I have used hooks designed for holding ladders and other larger materials.
The specific model that I used hangs over a rafter.
(I have exposed rafters in my older garage)
Thanks. I opted for hanging mine by the wheels above the car hood (9 foot ceiling). Very easy to lift (20 pounds) and hang it is uses essentially unusable space. I can bring 1 down from each side. My other bikes hang on the wall sideways by the frame because it only uses 20" of depth. And my car bike rack hangs on the wall below the road bikes because it doesn't live on the car.
Great idea. I need to organize my basement space and need to hang 4 bikes with using a minimum of floor space. And I have a blank wall handy to set it up.
I have been reading articles from the reneherse website recently and saw that your school is involved in some research studies for them. Having input from outside of the big marketing machine is important. Looking forward to reading the future results.
Thanks, David. Really excited about involving my students w Rene Herse and cycling research in general
I gotta say the Bike Sauce workshop is looking more and more spiffy!
Love it - thanks for sharing!
You should have more subs. Absolutely perfect contents. Love from 🇮🇳India
Cheers, Rahul!
I spy the Ascent Russ was riding a few weeks ago! Looking forward to more content on that beautiful machine
You know it! Videos are in the works.
Great idea! Pretty-much exactly what I was envisioning for myself (I especially like the "offset center bike" idea!).
No concerns on theft? I didn't see any extra bolt/eyelettes for securing a lock or chain through all the frames to lock them to the wall or concrete floor...
Exactly what I needed… thanks
Cool option.
I wish I had the room for something similar in my 2 car garage...they are hanging from the ceiling above my GTI...yes, no headroom for them to be over our small SUV...
Bike hooks are a great storage solution. Hanging from the rear wheel with the front a bit off the floor minimizes wheel flop even using just one hook, and as pointed out by others, alternating head to toe (handlebars up/handlebars down) allows you to hang all bikes at the same height. I have three bikes hanging over a workbench by one hook each :)
But then you have to lift.. hahaha 😝
@@TheBikeSauce yes that’s true but my wimpy upper body needs a little workout! 🤪
Very smart! Ive only got 2 bikes and room to skip a stud, im 100% doing this, thanks for the idea!!
I might make a small wood contraption to attach to the wall between wall/hook. with the idea to get slightly angled so they dont stick out quite as far from the wall, ive also got 2 cars that need to fit!!
Good idea.
Good video! But what sold me was the stud finder on your chest. Nice! 😅
Totally awesome
I've been using the common hooks for a couple decades. The plastic lining is now breaking off and my rims are now at risk of getting scratched. Thus, it's time for new hooks. This time around, I will be getting bike specific hooks which cost a little more, but should fit the rims better.
Good idea to replace. Some are a lot nicer with thicker dipped rubber hooks
I added some duct tape on the hooks when the rubber/plastic coating started to wear out. Works fine, no need to replace the hooks.
Neet idea but one word of caution. I used to store a mountain bike vertically but if left for a long time the brakes got soft. I think it was because the angle of the lever when upright meant any air in the fluid reservoir would migrate into the cable (shimano xt m8000 brakes) Since storing the bike on its tyres again ive not had the issue.
I installed my vertical hooks so that the bike is suspended off the floor by about an inch. This keeps the tension at the hook and prevents wheel flop. I’m not concerned about the full bike weight it places on the rim because honestly when you ride a bike you’re placing way more stress on the rim with your body weight.
nice!
I love this hack. In fact, I just used it and created the hanging bike rack as you’ve described in this video. But looking at it, I have an honest question: the entire bike is supported by the back tire. Is this bad for the tire? Is there a way to raise the bike up off the floor? Just wondering.
Love your videos. Keep em coming! I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts on my question. Thanks. Rick.
Thanks! The bike tires experience far more load while riding. I haven’t observed any negative effects of supporting the bike from one tire as opposed to both.
It looks like the hooks are bent in, towards eachother. Did you install them at an angle or did you install them straight then bend them (without breaking them or ripping them out of the stud). Loved your stud finder moment btw 👍
Lol. Yea mostly driven in straight then bent to suit wheel position
High five 🙌
Is it not the Ritchey Ascent that PLP was riding in a video? Does it means that you're gonna review it? I want to see a review of this bike so much, from both of you. Your garage rocks.
Ha yes, I picked the ascent up from Russ while they’re down in SoCal. Videos are in the works!
Very good.
Good eye!! Can't wait to see some PLD and BikeSauce crossover content! *hint hint!*
Would you need to consider hydraulic fluids and wheel sealant?
sealant, no. hydro fluid - some will say yes, but I haven't had any issues, and all 3 bikes have different model hydros
That's what's up
🤘
the ramp made the biggest difference
2 Hooks, why didnt I think about 2 hooks!
😆
For everyone under 40, living in a city. A garage is a room to store cars and bikes that your parents may have. ;). Show me how to store N+1 bikes in a 400 sq/ft appartment, then I'll be impressed.
Just call it a bike workshop instead of an apartment. Problem solved 😆
