Bike Storage Stand and Other Bike Tools

Bikes can take up a lot of space in the garage if they are not organized properly. If your bikes are in the way, this can cause a big problem not only when you need to take out your bike, as well as any of the cars in your garage.

For this purpose, there is the bike storage stand. This type of bike stand can help you arrange your bikes in your garage in a vertical manner. This will allow you to make use of more floor space in your garage.  Below are some of your options for bike storage stands.

One option for bike storage makes use of hooks and pulleys installed onto the ceiling of a garage. With this type of mechanism, you will only need to pull the cord in order to lift your bike and store it right above your car in the garage. This solution is quite secure and will protect your bike from theft. This also allows you to make better use of floor space in your garage.

For bike racks, there are different varieties, among which are Gravity Bike Racks, Bike Parking Racks and Floor-To-Ceiling Bike Racks. Gravity types are among the most commonly used because they are both visually pleasing and useful, whether used for your home or apartment garage. Topeak is among the renowned makers of Gravity Bike Racks and other types of bike racks. The Topeak Dual Touch Bike Storage Stand is a floor-to-ceiling bike stand with tension around the middle portion, and this unit can mount a couple of bikes, with the option of mounting as much as four if two additional (optional) mounts are purchased and added to the structure. Some variants of bike stands are installed on the ground, but they lean against one wall for additional support. However, most bike stands are sturdy enough to need no additional wall support. A bike parking rack is mostly used outdoors and is created as a bulky unit, for better stability. Generally, these are able to accommodate a few bikes.

There are different types of bike storage stands, among which is a bike repair stand, otherwise known as a bike maintenance stand. As you might assume, this kind of bike stand is for folks that wish save on money by doing their own bike maintenance, tune-ups and repairs at home. And if you are looking for one that will be sure to meet all your needs and requirements for a bike repair stand, there is the Park Tools bike stand, particularly the PCS-9 and the PCS-10. These bike stands are both highly rated, with the PCS-10 being an improved version of the PCS-9. The PCS-10 is a type of bike repair stand that is sturdy, heavy-duty and uses a 3-point leg system for better stability.
