Suitable bike rack for bedroom?

dru

Hi people,

I have 3 road bike (1 winter, 1 summer and a TT bike) and am in need of being able to store them sensibly.

First off here are the conditions

No Garage, No shed, rented property, no chance of hanging from roof or wall mountings.

I'm wondering If people know of any sort of bike rack that goes on the floor and can comfortable rack the 3 bikes together on the floor. I've seen a few for sale they look like a toast rack, but they seem to be aimed at MTB bikes where the tyres wedge the bike into place.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a similar sort of thing that will be able to rack the 3 bikes together in the spare room behind the door and keep the other half happy.

Also it needs to be moveable, so that when friends come to stay, the man/bike cave can revert back to a spare room.

Cheers,

Dru.

how about...

...seems to be spring loaded, so holds itself in place without needing fixing holes etc.

Didn't Lidl or was it Aldi that had them racks for £30 last month? Might still be some around.

The last two stands at edinburgh cycles both look useful and are a bit cheaper than the wiggle one.

This may sound like a rediculous suggestion but how about getting a really strong curtain pole fitted and hanging them from the back wheel off that?

I'm in the same situation as you - but I just lean all three against the wall. Why do you need a rack? To stack them?

Try HAlfords or Decathlon

the decathlon one is modular, so they bolt together - same idea as the Halfords one,


we have 7 biles in the spare room - 3 on turbos, 3 in the rack and one in between. Seems to work.
Get a cheap dark carpet from Ikea to go under teh lot and protect the flooring

Free standing and look great for bike storage!

yeah basically.

The spare room is small and therefore I can not keep all the bkes out or say the TT bike on the turbo then mix around which bikes I ride.

I have the space down the side of the desk to have a rack/stack system that would jut make things really easy.

At the moment I nearly always want to have the bike that is leaning against the wall, with the other two bikes carefully stacked against.. it's sods law

I lent two bikes against the wall for about three months. Got to the point of having to choose between the bikes and the girlfriend before I bought an Oakrack Freestanding rack. Looks great, is very sturdy and if you take the bikes off it can almost pass for a coat stand! I believe they can be upgraded to hold four bikes but I don't know how that would work for space.
