Storing bikes in small spaces is not a challenge. As many presume, it makes an apartment look cluttered and unclean, but with the right storage gear, you can keep your bike organized and space tidy. There are a number of bike storage solutions – like a wall-mounted rack, a simple metal hook, or a wooden bike stand that you can make by yourself using pallets.

If you are struggling to find a way to store your bike in a small space, bike racks might be the answer you’ve been searching for. Bike storage solutions can generally be divided into three categories: wall-mounted, floor-standing, and hanging units.

Wall-mounted bike storage systems can further be categorized into horizontal and vertical options, as well as there are also simple hooks for hanging bikes on the wall. By understanding these categories, you can choose a bike storage solution that best fits your space and preferences.
