Where and how do you store your bikes?
I keep mine in the garage on one of those fold down 3 bike racks that you get from halfords. I can't see any way of getting 3 bikes on it unless you remove bars and pedals. The way the bike mounts parallel to the wall also means there's a good chance of scuffing bars/levers on the wall. So, with bike number 3 on it's way I need to look at other solutions unless I just throw the worst bike on the floor. If it was up to me I'd keep them on the wall in the living room but SWMBO is having none of it.
How do you keep yours?

Cheap wall hooks that I hang according to the bike (road or MTB) so the bars and saddle or cross bar are supported. I pad the hooks using pipe lagging and bubble wrap and to prevent the frame/bars/wheels from scraping the wall I stick 15mm polystyrene to any points where the bike and wall come in contact.
Oh, yes, then each one is locked to the wall using wall anchors and also locked to each other.
I am running out of wall space so the family bikes are leant against the wall.0 -
