Step One: Admit you have a problem......
Sunday was lovely, most of Thursday's snow had melted. My better half 'suggested' that it was the perfect time to clean out the barn, put away the canoe and kayaks, hang up the bikes, and get ready for winter, It was only after I installed half a dozen new hooks that I realized just how bad it was:

The bad part is having to put away the canoes and kayaks due to snow! The good part is that you'll have a busy winter with all the bike projects.

I see part of the problem. If you alternate front wheel, rear wheel, you can hang your bikes twice as close together...

I don't see the white garage door for photographing your bikes in front of. That might be a problem.

Dang the snow that makes us put the bikes up on hooks in the first place!
Or maybe you need a several of us New England C&Vers to come by and alleviate you of this particular challenge in life?

And all the ATBs are pre-'93 or so. That IS C&V by mountain bike standards!

Does your wife know you're actively seeking advice from enablers?

I'm not seeking advice, I'm just kvetching. I'm quite comfortable with my little problem.
Now, if I could just leave the booze alone........
