The Best Way to Hang Bicycles in a Garage

Store your bike in the garage.

Storing your bicycle can be difficult if you don't own a shed or garage. Leaving the bike outside makes it a target for theft and the elements, and bicycles take up a lot of space inside the house. If you own a garage, hanging up your bicycle is not only a good way to save space but a safe place to keep your bicycle out of the rain and hands of potential thieves.

Things You'll Need

• Bicycle hooks
• Stud finder
• Drill

Instructions

1. Buy bicycle hooks at a hardware store or a bicycle shop. These hooks should be covered with rubber or plastic.

2. Use the stud finder to locate the studs in your garage wall.

3. Decide where you want to hang your bike. Lift up the bicycle to that location and have a friend mark on the wall with a pencil where you should install the hooks.

4. Drill starter holes in the wall with the drill where you want to install the hooks.

5. Screw in the hooks. Hang the bike carefully on the hooks to make sure they will hold its weight.
