I made a bike wall mount out of a 2x6 and a bed frame.

I just leave mine in the garage since my wife never goes in there lol

My garage is usually insane with weird odds and ends. It's a pain for me to go in and out of there sometimes but your solution is as good as any!

What a great piece of art for the walls, good job bud.

My wife has gotten upset with me almost every day for a couple years now. She was tired of tripping on my bikes seeing them layed on the floor, etc...

So I made this!




I made it tall enough to where nobody in the house will hit their heads walking by. I wanted to make it simple, robust and easy on the eyes.

I stained the wood ebony to go with the rest of the kitchen theme and sanded all the rust off the bed frame angle iron.

I angle grinded all the rivets off and profiled the corners so they wont cut anybody. Hand filed it and then hand sanded everything. I drilled holes in the top of the angle iron every 6" and used beefy hardware to hold it in place.

The hardware mounting it to the wall are x12 4-1/2" screws with a 3/8" shaft. Super solid. Torx!

I found the wood at a construction site.

Hope this inspires you all to store your bikes on the wall where your wife will be happy!

Great idea and looks great and solid!

My workshop is 2 feet lower than EVERYTHING else in the house, and I store my bikes in there. You would have to know where to look to find em. I actually want to "hide" the door into it so it looks like a shelf or a plain wall. I have a couple hooks and an area they hang out at in the back of the room. Then a full bench and lights, along with all my tools. Really it would be a pawn shop jackpot if some dingus got in there, but they would have to know what to look for, and hope I am not home. There is only one way out of it....

Nice. I use just a red utility hook for my road bike to hang, and the BMX stays on the floor.

I fucking WISH I had a garage.

Me too.

I have literally all of my stuff aside from clothing and a couple video game systems in this 8 foot wide by 16 foot long by 6 foot tall room that is 2 feet below everything else in my house.

What do you guys mean by 2ft below? Like a crawlspace?

Sort of. My basement is level with my backyard, and my workshop room is 2 feet deeper than it, in the middle of the house. It's hard to explain haha.

Here is a perfect to scale drawing of my house setup:

Well, I have half a garage if that counts

Wife parks her car there in the god-forsaken winters we have here, but in the summer....it belongs to the boys....(not shown Redlne RL-20-II or the 18" park BMX)

Ontopic: Love the idea of the angle iron, I might hang a few in the garage this winter that way as the basement storage area is getting pretty crowded

I want a separate two storey building with a two door garage at the bottom, a massive roll chest and work bench. The 2nd floor is my music studio. I'm realistic, I'll never have this.

That's so sick bro wish I had something like that for my bike

Move to the countryside and build it yourself That's exactly what I'd be doing if I wasn't planning to emigrate.
