- Hanging bike rack for garage. Bike storage ideas.
This DIY wall rack rotates close to the wall to keep bikes out of the way. I have to find room for lots of bikes (not all are mine...but most are!) and this mount allows me to utilize a basement store room to keep a few. All you need is a 2' x 2' piece of really cheap thin plywood, a 4' strip of 3/4" plywood, 4 small hinges, and a handful of 3/4" pan head screws and 1 1/4" drywall screws. Here's a retail version available on amazon for $90 that gave me the idea. This is an affiliate link so clicking costs you nothing but does help to support my channel.

Mine will cost you $5-$15 depending if you have scraps around like I do. I only had to buy some hinges.

Sweet !
Thanks, Brother!
@@TrailBreaker no problem!
*Fits my car perfectly with my new **Latest.Bike** raker , very easy to set up and take down. Great quality and price, very happy with this purchase!*
Great work. Often the challenge is to keep it simple, but you also did it …simple, functional an cheap👍🏻
Thank you. I now realize, with my wife and two kids, and proclivity toward bicycles that I have run out of spaces in my basement to store our bicycles. I will try this! I have like 12 bikes at the moment and looking for a tandem eventually. LOL
This to me is genius! Thank you very much!
OMG this is the bomb!! i will be making one in the UK
dd66tv Sweet! I’m glad you liked it👊🏻
I like everything about this video except for when you said "it's not pretty" in the end. I disagree, I think it actually looks very elegant. Great job man! I'm copying this :)
lol! Yes! Build tons😀 Thanks
Great job, man! Simple is often the most elegant solution. I'll build a couple for my shed. Thanks for the great idea. :)
You bet! Glad you liked it
Cheap and easy as stated. Directions work great for bikes without fenders. My e-bikes have fenders so I made a few modifications. I used the same directions for laying out the sides. Same width of tire for the uprights. To accommodate the larger spacing required for the fender and supports I used a wider blocks for the spacers. Back upright width (tire width) 2 1/2". First (middle) spacer is 3 1/2" and last spacer is 5". You will need to adjust the width of the spacers to fit the increasing width of the fenders. I also positioned the middle block closer to the wall so it touches the tire and keeps the weight off the fender.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Im Going to do this as soon as possible
Loved
Word!
Excellent!! Everything I build is scabbed together from scraps! I am thinking about bending some 3/4” or 1/2” EMT in a similar fashion, but i wasn’t sure how to make it pivot correctly in either direction. Good idea!
Jimmy Batterton Jimmy! You get the first comment award! I was a cabinet maker in a former life and designed lots of weird pull-outs and swing-out things for kitchens and pantries. Thanks Buddy👊🏻👍🏻
Nice bike 👍👍
I am very lucky to have a supportive Wife😍
This is an awesome space saver! Thanks a bunch!
You’re welcome👊

Congrats on the great video tutorial showing how to size it for different size tires. I think yours is the only video I've seen that makes it look simple and easy without getting out a tape measure out.
I do have a question on it though. What's the purpose of the secondary 3" angle support that sits between the front 3" support and the back wall? It seems as though, and through your explanation on the video, that the tire will sit on the front 3" support and the tire will also be touching the back wall of the support; so the tire would be wedged/supported in two spots already. It seems unnecessary to add the additional 3" support in between them but wanted to get your take.
Thanks!
Good question! It comes in handy if you built the rack for a 29er and want to toss on a 26 or 27.5 bike and want to protect the down tube or disc rotor form the wheel getting swallowed up. Otherwise you don't really need it
Hi, Fabulous! How do you hang it if it didn't line up with a stud? Thanks Peg
Thanks for the great how-to video! I'm going to try this for my five bikes. How far apart do you suggest each 29er MTB be?
If you stagger the heights a few inches so the bars don't hit you can go really close (like a foot). Otherwise about 20" is good.
The two 19” pieces are not parallel. Perhaps ‘loose play’ in the cheapie hinges lets the top nudge toward the load.
Yes, my really heave old Schwann (45 lbs) twists the pieces but it still works after 4 years😁
Did not work for my racing bike at first, front wheel is too close to the frame. After some adjustments, it works like a charm... something to keep in mind for others who want to make this.
Joost Gerritsen Thanks!
Neat idea. Now just thinking out loud with no research. I wonder if saloon style hinges are still made - could work - or hold the weight. Thanks for the video saw in comments over at SydnMacky
4961Studebaker Thanks! Yes, they’re easily available. I was a cabinet maker in a past life and used them in a few remodels. They’re more expensive and tend to sag with weight heavier than a light door. Also, as they are designed to always return to the centered position, bikes would always be 90 degrees from the wall. But I like that you’re thinking outside the box😁. Always tinker and make it work👊🏻
Trail Breaker oh yes. Hadn’t thought of the sag. And so true about returning to center. Completely focused on the dual swing action of the hinge.
thanks! I like the product you linked, but that gets pricey for 5 bikes!
Exactly! Thanks!
Hi! I’m interested in using this system for our outdoor shed. The only problem is our shed is plastic so I don’t think the walls can withstand the weight of the bikes(about 7) long term. Do you have any advice for possibly attaching this to a platform to balance it out?
Maybe mount a sheet of plywood to the inside of the wall and mount to that
Does the rack take the full weight of the bike or do you position it so that the rear wheel is in contact with the floor? If the rear wheel is in contact with the floor then I guess the height of the rack from the floor is bespoke for different bikes?
It holds the entire weight no problem. My old Schwinn 10 speed is 45 lbs and has been on it for years
Ok, thank you Trail Breaker
What about bikes with fenders?
You might have to modify the rack a little bit
Nice design, but instead of plywood, buy some 1x4 or 1x3 wood - pine would be cheap and work fine. All those screws into the edge-layers of the plywood is simply not a good, strong way to fasten. Also, use glue and screws. You're likely getting away with the plywood since your bikes are not too heavy, but any sort of pulling on it or dropping of the bike onto the rack, and you'll realize the weakness.
I've had a 45 lb Schwinn Delux Varsity hanging on one for 3 years with zero issues. I always pre-drill and use sheet rock screws which are skinny, cheap and strong. I also don't glue so I can modify a hanger for things like fenders and smaller wheels
Thank you
You're welcome
