Familiarize yourself with the different types of bike storage solutions. You can then best evaluate if they will meet your needs and how they can be used to generate the maximum bicycle storage spaces. In this video, we look at the different types of bike storage racks.

For bike storage, high-density ground bike racks are typically a popular selection. This style of bike rack allows bicycles to be parked closer together, as the height of each rack alternates and avoids the problem of overlapping handlebars. This type of bike storage rack is a great option when wall-mounted bike racks are not an option. Either because racks are restricted from being anchored to walls or it is mandated the bike storage be mounted to the ground. We'll now look at vertical bike racks, which is a common choice for bike storage. The reason vertical bike racks are used so often is because they're designed to store the bicycle vertically – which reduces the amount of floor space needed to park the bike. The racks can also be staggered vertically. And like high-density ground-mounted bike racks, this allows bicycles to be parked closer together, maximizing the number of spots that can be created. The next thing you will need to consider when evaluating vertical bike storage is that they are generally available in three mounting styles. A wall-mounted bike storage rack is secured directly to the wall by installing anchors in the wall. This means you will need to be able to drill into the wall to use this type of rack. The second wall bike rack mounting configuration is a strut mount. With this, a strut or c channel is mounted to the wall. The racks are then anchored to the channel. Again, to use this type of rack mount, you must be able to anchor into the wall. The benefit is each rack can be repositioned along the channel without the need to drill more holes into the wall. This is advantageous when you want the option to expand the number of racks in your bike storage area in the future. This rack style makes it easy to set up your bike room one way now and easily add to and reconfigure later. A potential challenge in using a strut-mounted vertical bike rack, other than drilling restrictions, is there would need to be an unobstructed length of wall for the channel to run. And like the wall-mounted, these are available with just the rack element or a rack and tray. For situations when you want to use vertical bike storage, but are unable to anchor into the wall, a freestanding bike rack is your best option. This type of rack is a stand-alone unit with legs and racks anchored to a channel. Just assemble and place where desired. Freestanding vertical bike racks provide the additional benefit of creating bike storage spots in the open areas of rooms – no walls needed. This allows you to maximize the bike storage density within the area. Bicycle storage doesn't have to be confined to a bike room or its own designated area. There are instances where you need to create bike storage spaces in an existing building where a separate area doesn't exist, or it is not in the construction plans. For these situations, a horizontal, wall-mounted bike storage rack would fit your needs. These are well-suited to utilize most any wall space. Like the front of car stalls in a parking garage for example. Another popular style of bike storage rack, because of its high-density design, is the two-tier bike rack. With these racks, there are two tiers, or levels, for storing bicycles. In terms of creating the greatest number of bicycle storage spots along the length of the room, this is the rack to choose. But, as bicycles are parked horizontally on these racks, there needs to be enough aisle space behind the rack to effectively maneuver bicycles into and out of the racks. So two-tier bike racks typically require wider areas to be installed. You will also need to ensure your ceiling height is enough to accommodate the storage of bicycles on the upper level, along with additional clearance for loading the bicycle. Generally, this is around nine feet. But could vary depending on the specific rack you select and your local ordinances. The other item worth considering with a two-tier bike rack is a lift assist. This is a feature where the rack element on the upper level slides out and the rack tilts down to the floor. Making it easier for the bicycle to be loaded on the rack and returned to the upper storage position with the bicycle.
