Storage for adult bikes

Hi all

I am looking to store 3 adult bikes in the garage hanging on the wall. Either individually, in a pairs or all too together. Space on the wall is not really an issue.

It would be great to get anyone’s recommend.

Many thanks for your time and regards

Mike

Similar to my issues.
I put seriously big hooks* into my garage wall, judiciously spaced horizontally so that the hooks held the front wheels, and the back wheel / mudguard was just off the floor.
* The hooks I used were ones I got from Aldi/Lidl a while back, so I can't give you a reference for them.
The 'wise ones' say that supporting your bike in this way does no harm to the wheels.

I've also got my vintage Hetchins hung up on a 'bike lift' which supports both saddle and handlebar cradle. Again bought from Aldi/Lidl.

Having said all that, I find it just *too* much effort to hang my bike up on their hooks after each ride and they end up just being leant against the workbench and each other (until they get in HER way, and then they get tidied up!).
