These five bike storage units will help you organise your cellar or garage:
Impostor
With Topeak's Dual-Touch Bike Stand, bikes can be stacked against high walls to save space. The anodised telescopic bar stretches up to 3.20 metres high ceilings. The frame holders can be adjusted to the angle of the top tube. Two are included in the set. When fully extended, however, the Dual-Touch offers space for up to four bikes.
The set costs 199.95 euros, additional holders 39.95 euros.
Folding hook
On the wall or on the ceiling. With the ParkingHook BTL-26 from BBB, your bike will find its place even in the smallest garage. The rubberised hook can be folded in and, according to the manufacturer, holds bikes weighing up to 15 kilos securely in place.
The ParkingHook comes with plugs and screws for 6.95 euros.
Meat hook
The bike is simply hooked into the solid, rubberised storage hook from Park Tool on the front wheel like a pig's half. The ceiling hook is available in three different widths, each with a wooden or metric thread.
Available in a set of 2 from around 5.50 euros.
Placeholder
The bike rack 3800 or row suspension parker has been working faithfully in the editorial basement for years. Its rubberised hooks are offset in height so that the handlebars do not get in each other's way. Colour-coated or galvanised and with two to eight parking spaces, it is made to last.
Available from various suppliers from approx. 90 euros.
Liftboy
Out of sight, out of mind? Hopefully not. With the DL 1 ceiling lift from Rose, bikes of all kinds can be easily hung from the ceiling. The rubberised hooks not only allow them to be stored gently, they can also be serviced straight away. The ceiling lift doesn't go up to the tenth floor, but it does go up to a ceiling height of 3.65 metres.
The smooth-running cable pull system costs just 29.95 euros.
