Dang! I run out of space.. what would u suggest to build to storage this bikes (and maybe more)? I want to use the height of the room (3.2 meters). I can't drill a hook in the ceiling because it's not stable enough.
Wall hooks where the bikes are laid up next to the door would help. Take the pedals off and loosen the stems so the bars lay parallel with the frame is how I do it. If you ride them keep the pedals on and straight the stem out just when you go ride.
Other systems involve pivoting wheel catches for the front wheel – don’t have links to those. BBB makes a few storage hooks that don’t pivot but are super solid and affordable.
Feedback Sports pivoting hooks are useless IMO so don’t bother with that style, tire slips off and ‘turtles’ defeating the point of the pivot, along with one-sided pivots not allowing easy access to bikes in the middle of the row.

I have no contribution other than to say that this is a really nice space.

Love it and wouldn’t change anything. The bikes are also decor.

You could store all the unnecessary furniture in a moving pod and rent a parking space for it.

You could fit at least 10 more bikes in there

This is the only thing I hate about bikes. They take up so much space, are hard to store and frankly don’t look good while stored.

Sell bikes for insane profit. Use profit to open chain of LBS’s. Buy a McMansion for all your new bikes. Sell your biz to spesh and retire on your own private mountain island to build world class DH courses that Red Bull uses constantly. You can do it !!!

It’s expensive but the [SpaceRail](https://www.stashedproducts.co.uk/products/bracket-free-hanging-bike-storage-rack?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAABRQM2G9sciQEte124_aHypZuYVPW&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0Oq2BhCCARIsAA5hubUl0u24w9uTpxie98DpXov6wT1qLcpXAGQC80iUXFZaNtqH1Afnx94aAuj1EALw_wcB) wall system is efficient for storage and well built.

Normalize bikes as furniture
