Ease of Use
A pair of hooks are attached to the seat of your bike, and one is hooked under the handlebars. A pulley system lifts your bike up off the ground and up to approximately 12 feet. Once the bike is locked in place, a lock safe mechanism is installed on this rack to prevent an accidental release.

This bike rack has virtually no footprint on your garage floor, and it easy enough to use not only to store in the offseason but also to store between uses. And the design of this model is engineered to store bikes that weight up to 100 pounds.

Users are going to have to dust off that old toolbox and break out a few tools- such as a stud finder and some other basic tools. The top metal brackets run along the ceiling of your garage or placed directly on a ceiling beam. This unit is ideal for ceilings that are up to 12 feet.

Materials
The hooks that are used to hold your bike in place are coated with a protective rubber that is designed to prevent scratches on your bike. The bike is hoisted up by a thick rope that is secured in place by a locking mechanism. The brackets that are installed on the ceiling are made of metal.

Value
The cost of this bike rack is quite reasonable if you were looking to store only one or two bikes. If you require a bike rack that was able to store more than two bikes, this model might become a little more expensive.

Ease of Use
This freestanding rack can hold two bikes- one on top of the other- flush with the wall by the aid of adjustable arms that hold the bike by the frame. This design takes the pressure off of the wheels and is beneficial to the bike for storage over longer periods of time. Hanging a bike on the bottom rack is simple and only requires little effort. However, to hang a bike on the upper rack, users are going to need the aid of those killer thighs they have built over miles of long rides to help hoist their bike to the second rack. This rack can hold approximately 100 pounds or 50 pounds per bike.

Put that toolbox away, you won’t need it. This rack is freestanding and is able to be used right out of the box. However, if you are worried about the stand possibly falling forward, this model does include the necessary screws and anchors to anchor this rack to a wall for added stability.

It does have a little bit more of a footprint than some of the other models, and hanging a second bike on the top rack can be a little difficult.

Ease of Use

Value

Ease of Use
This simple yet effective design will make you wish that you had thought of it yourself! It slightly reminds us of flipping through music or movie posters back in the day. When not in use, the bike hangers fold away flatly. The racks hold your bikes vertically and can move side to side up to 180-degrees. If you have more than one bike, you can hang these racks no closer than 14-inches apart from each other and “flip through” the bikes until you come across yours. Each rack can hold a tire up to 2.2-inches wide. If your bike has wide mudguards, you may have trouble fitting it in this rack. It’s also worth mentioning that the maximum recommended weight for each rack is 77-pounds.

Installation of these racks is pretty simple, however, you will need a stud finder. After finding the stud, it’s as simple as drilling into the wall and attaching the racks and the bottom tire holder. Reviewers have commented that the included instructions are very easy to follow.

Materials
These racks are made out of steel and UV treated plastic. A mounting kit is included for mounting the bikes on materials such as masonry and timber. If you are mounting to steel, it is recommended that you check with your local hardware store to find out what tools and screws you will need. Mounting to drywall is not recommended unless you are mounting to a stud.

Summary
All in all, we think is a great option. The price is a little higher than we would like to pay, but it would be great for families, or even to split with a friend. We love the design and how easy to use and install these racks are.

Ease of Use
This model is different because it doesn’t use any hooks to secure the bike in place. A horizontal arm that folds out from the wall cradles the bike under the frame to lift it up off of the floor. This arm is deep enough to accommodate two bikes that sit side-by-side.

There is a little bit of installation, but it isn’t much. The unit is shipped with a singular wooden screw that is used to affix the unit to the wall. It may be ideal to also dig out the stud finder to make sure that the rack it as study as it can possibly be.

Materials
The unit is composed of a painted black heavy duty metal that is capable of holding approximately 50-70 pounds. It’s a bit more utilitarian than some of the other garage storage racks on this list and doesn’t provide the soft rubber grips like other models.

Ease of Use

Of course, this design can sometimes be a little cumbersome when trying to lift a potentially heavy mountain bike onto a hook that is hanging from the ceiling.

These hooks do need to be installed, but there is no need to dig out your toolbox. The StoutMax EZ Thread design allows the users to simply screw the hook into the garage beam.

Materials
As stated above, the screw is made from a StoutMax EZ Threat material, making it easy to hand-screw these hooks in place. The hook itself is made from a heavy duty metal and is covered in a soft rubber material that serves to prevent slippage and scratches to the rims of the back tires.

Summary
If you don’t want to wrestle with drilling holes and affixing mechanisms to the walls of your garage, this product will be perfectly suited for you. These hooks are so versatile that if you only needed to store four bikes, you could use the other hooks to safely store lawn tools and free up even more floor space in your garage or storage shed.

Ease of Use
Hooks are placed along the long beam that is affixed to the ceiling. The user then lifts the bike up and hoists it onto the hook by the back tire. The hooks easily glide along the beam and allow for many different sizes of bikes. This model is able to support up to five bikes of various sizes.

This garage rack is mounted on the ceiling. The simple bar with pre-drilled holes should be aligned to a joist or garage beam.
