Love this idea, I am totally going to do that for a project soon. I may just shellack them too! On Jun 15, 9:59 pm, Peter Pesce petepe...@gmail.com wrote: There are lots of different hooks, bike-specific and non-, that you can find at HD, on amazon etc. In almost every case, the vinyl tool

I have tall ceilings in my garage, and had both a bike storage and a camping equipment storage problem to solve. I built this 4' x 8' shelf hanging from the rafters, anchored from the wall, 7'6 high. All the camping gear goes on top, and nine bike hooks hang below. So far I'm very pleased with

Just FYI, I also live in an apartment, and just hang my bikes on hooks that I screwed into the ceiling. They were maybe $2 each from Home Depot, covered in rubber. I am pretty tall and am able to reach the bike up to hang it on the hooks. Works for me, and haven't had any problems with wheels
