7 bike CV storage rack
 

A few folks said they wanted to see what it might look like. About $115 total.

That's a beauty of a storage unit.

I just finished a rack from 2X4s. But just a simple rectangular floor unit in the garage. 9 bikes, 8' wide. I also hang many from the ceiling with pulley systems.

My garage is such a small space that I needed something movable and somewhat compact. It is my gym, workshop, storage unit, happy place.

It now also holds my repair stand, truing stand, winter trainer and pump. We'll see what else I can put on it!

That is quite the statue of a bike rack, good original thinking!

Can you roll it back into the garage with the bikes on it?

Wow, love it!

I could if I fixed the raised garage lip where a satanic Sweet gum sent its tendrils.

It is
86" tall including the height of the saddles on the top row.
68" wide including the handlebars on each side sticking out
64" deep, NOT including the mountain bike saddle sticking out, but including the wheels of the bikes on the middle row.
Interior space is roughly 20 inches wide.

That Crest Cannondale is cool. I dig the original blue stem. Just missing the matching saddle.

thank you! She has been with me 33 years!

Got a picture? I'm trying to figure out how to store 6 bikes in as small a place as possible.

How tall is the ceiling?

mine isn’t the smallest footprint but it IS the easiest.

separate single rack for a long mtb.
frame is 96”X26” with 2 2X4s to hold each wheel at 12” spacing.

Learning serially!?!...to be continued
 

Had reason for a second rack, or so t’was thought**, to store bikes in garage. So I built it similarly, but after inspiration (?) from engineer son-in-law, a slight modification improved the rack bigly, by holding bikes more securely.

Attached my pic of a better rack than I posted just above.

Take the flat floor rack, turn it 90* for vertically oriented slots, stabilize each end with wider support at base ( so it doesn't tip over ) - and much better wheel/bike stability.

** the serial learning bit is that the second I put the 2 racks back-to-back, it hit me = there’s enough spacing between bikes to insert them from both sides of each rack.

Oh well, now I think these 2 holding racks (with more wooden supports) can expand from 16 to perhaps 30 bikes.

Excess capacity?

Build it and they will come.

I built something similar to your upright one for the shed. It holds only 6 bikes.
