Bicycle Storage Solutions & Systems
Welcome to our
bicycle storage page! All the bike
enthusiast know just how important their bikes are to
them. Not only are they becoming more expensive, harder
to replace but they also help us stay fit for a longer
period of time. Many individuals can ride marathons up
into their late age and this is amazing. This makes it
more important than ever to store our
bicycles and bikes
properly so that they can last us for a long
time.
Although
bikes tend to come with a high price tag, solutions
& systems to store them don't necessarily have to.
There are many types and
designs of storage available and it is up to
the individual and the amount of time they take to educate
themselves on the various options. The amount of research that
you do will bring you a better solution and price than if you
simply pick the first thing you see at the sports store. Those
are always the most expensive products, as sport
authority stores know the impulses and laziness of the
common shopper.
Bicycle Storage Indoor &
Outdoor
The two
main types of organizational systems available encompass the
indoor and outdoor areas of
your home. The place you decide to keep your bike is really up
to the space availability around your home as well as your
personal preference. Keep in mind that certain locations do get
more humid and dirty than others and so may damage as well as
decrease the lifespan of the bike. Whether you place the
bicycle in a hanger, garage,
garden shed or hallway, try
to imagine which will be the most convenient to you and the
people around you.
Bicycle Storage
Shed
For the
like owners of a shed, this is the perfect location for a
bike. Since a shed is closed off from the
environment, a properly insulated one will
keep the things inside nice and dry. If you have other
equipment in the shed and also use it as a workplace, install
the bike somewhere out of the way so that you do not trip or
hit it when performing your regular tasks.
Bicycle Storage Racks, Mounts &
Hooks
Hooks,
mounts and racks are the
easiest way to get your bike up on the wall and off of the
floor. This is an ingenious idea to utilize the wall space and
keep the floor clear so that you can use it for something else.
Be careful of the type of mount that you
purchase and the installation process
required. Some of the cheaper types may scratch up your bike or
cause it to wobble. Also if you do not know your way around
tools, how to install anchors or find
two-by-fours then it is recommended that you
get some help during the installation. It is a easy way to
injure yourself or have the bike fall and hit someone later
on.
Bicycle Storage
Garage
The
garage seems like a perfect place to leave the
bike, for many, it seems like the perfect location to leave
everything but a car. Think about how many garages you have
seen where there are so many items laying around that there is
barely room to walk through it. This is not because of the size
of the garage, but simply a lack of organization. Items such as
lifts, bins,
racks, overhead,
floor racks can all work for your
bike.
If you do
still leave the car in the garage, do not place the bike in any
area where it might get hit. No one is as good of a driver as
you are, and even you might have bad days. Keep you
bike safe by planning ahead.
There are
also plans and kits which can be purchased for the folks that
want to design and build their own bicycle
storage. Decide on the materials,
dimensions and design of the
system and calculate whether it is even worth to do all of the
work. In some instances it really is, but with the prices being
so expensive for materials, it might be better to go with
something that is already pre-built. Some of the best deals can
be found on the internet as the stores there do not have as
large of an overhead as brick and mortar
locations.
