Whether you live in a roomy suburban home or a smaller city apartment, space is always at a premium and storing clunky items like bikes can be problematic.

Keeping them outside is often the most obvious solution, but this is placing them at risk of being rusted and worn by the weather and at worst being stolen by opportunist thieves.

The solution is to hang them on the wall of the garage, shed or even of a room inside your place using simple-to-install brackets. This will keep them safe, secure and out of the way, but still easy to access.
