How is everyone parking/storing their fleet. Right now I have bikes leaning against everything, I am looking at maybe something like these bike stands ($29.00 plus shipping). In the off season I hang them in giant bags in the basement...

Owning a townhouse with no garage, our space is limited. So basically our bikes are in a walk in closet. Sometime soon, we will be rearranging some of our "stuff" so that closet will have more space. It would be nice not to have to take out one bike to get to the other

I have a couple of these hanging on one wall of my garage, they get the bikes out of the way and were super cheap, $10 each at The Home Depot.

I have a townhouse with a small 1 car garage. I hang my bike from the cieling & my wifes bike sits on the floor to the side of her truck.

Billb3, I have seen those hangers in Home depot, do they work well. I have dry wall with oddly spaced studs in the garage so I have tried other things but I always seem to want them.

My entire west wing has wood ceilings, so I screwed in hooks to line up with stem and seat. Also under $10.

They are pretty good as long as your have something solid to screw it in to...

I'll take a picture of my setup later, but I won't be able to post it until I get back to work tomorrow.
