Bike Storage

Post by douglasgdmw » Sun Apr 28, 2013 6:58 pm

Popped along to the Scottish Bike show today at the Chris Hoy Velodrome.

Whilst there I saw a really neat solution to storing your mountain/road bikes that I thought would be good to share here if you have space issues with your 2 wheeled toys but want something that looks aesthetically pleasing into house/garage

Will add that he also has another solution which is flush to the wall but will be on the website ina couple of weeks.

Got speaking to the designer Andrew, really nice guy and our conversation soon got to cars/bikes (his love of Early Italian motorbikes 8) ) Really interesting to hear about a product designers view of things and their love of automotive solutions. Eventually turned to Lotus so sending him the Elise story link:-)

Nice but 60 quid!!!!

I have a Park Tools home repair stand which was only 80, and the bikes are stored on these -

Nice idea, but for the 420 quid it would cost me to store all my bikes I could buy another bike!

Think the other product to store the bike on its wheels is a bit cheaper. It should be up on the website in a couple of weeks.

Same thought here. Nice, would be ideal foe the Glasgow flat but cost more than the bike I bought from you I planned to keep on it.

Great idea. A bucket and hack saw is much cheaper though.
