This particular storage system utilizes the ceiling to get the bikes off the ground, out of the corners and away from the walls. Our bikes ended up out in a damp shed or under a tarp simply because they were a pain to store, so this system is like a sliding filing cabinet on the wall making it easier to get one out for the day or to put away and end of ride.

5. Sports Equipment Storage
If sports equipment ends up all over the floor in your garage or worse, all over your work bench then consider getting a bench with sports equipment storage. They can sit on the bench to put on their shoes and it is an easy place to put all their sports accessories for the whole family.
