Hi,
Between myself and herself we have 3 bicycles, (1 race and 2 commuting / training bikes) and we are living in a 2-bed city apartment.
I am converting the spare room to storage and have been looking at bicycle wall mounts / clever ways to store bikes (as they are good quality bikes and I'm hesitant to leave them on the balcony as they'll get ruined in the bad weather).
I've been looking at wall mounts but it's impossible to know which ones are good / the most efficient in terms of both space but also in taking down to use and putting back up without killing yourself.
Would anyone have any experience / ideas on how best to store bikes in an apartment and suggest any suitable wall mount products / handy tips?
Thanks!

Hmm, do you think that would be ok for an outside wall, say for example, outside an office? We don't have any storage at the office, just an empty room in the building, which may at some point be leased out.
There are some of those in the underground car park where my work has a bike locker. Mounted to the wall fine. But what about security?
As for storage I had a pulley system at my old place (albeit in the garage). Attaches to the roof and dead easy to use.
Can't remember where I got mine. But plenty if you google.

I use this, got my Commuter/CX and MTB on there with no signs of it moving.
