The absence of a garage is not yet a reason to change chess cycling. Learning to keep the bike in the apartment of any square!
The question of where to store a bicycle is somewhat amazing. Most often, he implies different answers: depending on the fall in the yard or spring-summer. In the first case, we are talking about where to remove the unit until the next season, in the second - where to leave it after cycling so that it was always at hand. Let's consider all options
Take a decision in the store
Pristant people think about storing the bike before it is purchased. This, of course, is not as interesting, as in emergency mode, shove a large dirty bike in the one-fold-old one-handed furniture, but in general, right. The folding bicycle mechanism will save you from the problem with the search site: such an aggregate will safely fit into the standard storage room or typical mezzanine over the entrance door, it will not take much space on the balcony.
With an awkward model, everything is somewhat more complicated. But in any case, keep in mind: aluminum Rama It is preferable to steel in terms of corrosion, and the absence of hydraulic lines (brakes, fork) will not give them to suffer from frost in case you have to leave it to winter on the street
At home
Ideally, the bike should not be included in the house so as not to pack the floor and the walls - at least during the cyclezon. Wash the wheels after each walk - then I am still pleasure: they do not challenge with a cloth, he will not fit into the bathroom. If the stairwells are not suitable in the entrance to leave two-wheeled transport, it makes sense to look for like-minded people and remove the garage (ideally warm) in the best): there can be a bike round year, preserving it for the winter. Winter storage services are also offered warm underground parking.
The second option is to contact your control company for duplicate the key from the basement. Alas, often our basements suffer from high humidity - from such a climate the technique begins to rust. Yes, and the key may not give: there are still important engineering communications, thermal assembly, etc. In some HOA, there is the possibility of collective storage of bicycles in the attic from the fall in spring. In general, contact the Criminal Code (HOA) will not be superfluous - maybe there will be prompt something
In the entrance
A favorite place of storage of bicycles in Russia - staircases. The technique is always at hand, and the dirt into the house does not penetrate - very convenient. But do not think that the neighbors also rejoice in your resourcefulness: bicycles and carriages interfere with residents to wear bulky furniture, they score access to flowers on the windowsill in the entrance and, finally, dirty common property, and just annoy ("IS, Ponastrani!").
The law is controversial: and the housing code, and Sanpina require from the tenants to prevent mismanagement and littering of entrances, but at the same time recognize the stair cells "common property" - that is, they can use all residents if they do not limit the rights of neighbors. So, even one reasonable claim is enough to ensure that you have any rights to limit your bike.
The most significant argument against the wheels in the entrance is the fire safety requirements. Freshness is usually simple: evacuation paths should be free, any interference is a violation of the requirements, a prescription and a fine. Finally, the entrance is the leader in the number of bicycle theft, and even the thick chain does not guarantee the safety of equipment.
But if you are lucky with your neighbors and the entrance is carefully guarded, choose the most deaf, unused places (for example, on the wall, with vertical mounts or hooks, as in the photo) - So you do not interfere with the cleaning of the staircase.
If the structure of the entrance allows, one can be taken out of this placement. Although it is more suitable for individual houses.
On the balcony
Most Russians are firmly convinced that the balcony is generally the only place where you can store a bike in the apartment. But here there are several nuances.
An open balcony is suitable only for summer storage bike (if you, of course, love it). Drops of temperature and precipitation are detaching for hydraulics, plastic, paint and metal. Even if you weaken all the cables, lubricate all the nodes of the oil and hide the bike under the waterproof film, do not avoid corrosion - for example, due to condensate. A real torture for the bicycle will post it for a balcony grille - you can immediately say goodbye to him. Manufacturers generally recommend not to store bicycles in rooms with a temperature below zero.
Tip: Think how you will roll (or even carry) a dirty bike across the apartment. And buy special boot shoes on bicycle wheels or cycle cycling whole.
A warmed closed balcony is one of the best places to store bikes in the apartment and in winter and summer. There is only one minus - you will no longer be able to smash a full-fledged summer garden here or arrange workplace. There are two ways to combine a pleasant and useful: hang a bike on special brackets (sold in cycardes) to the ceiling in the lying position or consolidate it vertically on the wall.
Thus, as in the photo, you can compact two or three bikes even on the smallest balcony, while almost without cycling its useful area. The vertical system is suitable for summer - it remains only to wipe the wheels.
Tip: Make sure that the bike does not hit the straight sun rays: due to this, the protective varnish can be cleaned and the paint, the rubber and plastic can be trapped. Just close the adjacent part of the window with a roll curtain (if it is not possible to store a bicycle in a case).
Conservation
Removing the bike for the winter, it should be cleaned with my own hands from dirt and old lubricant, re-lubricate parts (hinge, brakes, chain, speed switches), and metal parts wipe with a wipe rag. In addition, you need to weaken the springs of shock absorbers and cables. If the bike is hanging, then the tires are worth a slightly lower, and if you stand - on the contrary, time from time to time.
For the sake of saving, the bike can be partially disassembled: remove the wheels and wings, the saddle, the steering wheel (or deploy 90 degrees), the pedals to rearrange so that they look inside. The occupied area will double - you can hide on the mezzanine. Or under the bed. The bulk podium allows you to hide a lot of useful under the mattress. Sometimes even disassemble the bike is optional, it is enough to remove the pedals and expand the steering wheel.
By the way, about Antresoli. In many old houses, such as Khrushchev, the planning of apartments included economic cabinets-mezzanine in the hallway and next to the kitchen. Usually, new owners during repair dismantle them will not be returned again (from aesthetic point of view - quite sad design). However, such annezol makes sense to leave a bicycle under winter storage. Again, we are talking about storing a folding bike or place it in the elements.
Under the bike (with a vertical storage system), you can lay a place, designing a dressing room. By the way, hovering the bike with wheels up to the ceiling, it can be used as a barbecue for the shoulders, the trunk - like Reheling, and the handle of the steering wheel - like hooks for bags.
And you can use the end of the corridor, mounted there a wardrobe. Instead washing machines The photo is easy to present a couple of great. On the Internet you can find the layout of the built-in cabinets for 2-4 bicycles.
Finally, there are special furniture for bicycles and sports equipment: it represents either "screen" with shelves and hooks, or metal and wooden frames without walls (or without a door): downstairs drawers and shelves, top - a bicycle place. Thanks to the profile, such a wardrobe looks easily, but at the same time. If you have a spacious entrance hall or a large technical tambour in front of the apartment, we recommend that design.
Alas, a place for a closet or in a cabinet for a bicycle there is not in every apartment. You can use walls. Of course, in most cases, the wall location is suitable only for winter storage of a pure bike, but there are options for an extra-emergency.
It is best to find a place for fastenings at the entrance door, so as not to drag dirt into the apartment.
Important: Do not place a bike next to the heating battery or an electric convector - from the effects of heat "dry" rubber and spawns protective varnish on the frame.
Mounts for vertical location of the bicycle are different: hooks, brackets, suspensions, shelves, baskets, racks - for one and two units. They are sold in cycling and online stores, but also to make such often easy.
Designing a fastener for a bicycle, calculate that it must withstand the weight of the bike plus 5 kg, that is, for an adult model at least 20 kg. Mounting the mounts are necessary so that no less than 15 cm remained from the wheel to the floor to the floor, for ease of cleaning.
Shelves can be made of different designs - under books, flowers, caps.
If you have a ladies or sport bike With an oblique frame, it can be installed on a hanging rack: it will be a shelf for wheels, and inside you can store shoes or logs.
Another method of fastening is vertical. Here, too, there are different suspensions: per wheel (not very recommended - disk deformation is possible), for the frame and behind the wheel. Bicycle can be suspended parallel to the wall.
And it is possible - perpendicular. In this case, it will be convenient to use columns and other architectural protrusions. It looks spectacular and allows you to zonail the room.
Look, do you have in the apartment "dead" zones that are never used. It can be a niche between the wall and a wardrobe, the gap between the wall and a sofa or 20 cm between the wall and the door - this is enough to place a thin sports bike (especially if you remove the steering wheel and wheels). For vertical mounts, any door is suitable (for example, in the storage room), but so that it opens.
Tip: Provide coasters under both wheels not to spoil the finish.
From the point of view of ergonomics, the position of the bike along the wall, of course, wins - especially in niche.
Another ergonomic option is to build "walls": for example, two vertically suspended bikes, between them - the rack or bookcase. The bike is a visually lightweight design, so such walls do not look massively.
On the ceiling
The roller ceiling system of the suspension is suitable only for high rooms, and in the domestic residential foundation (typical high-rise) is rather meaningless. The only option of its use is again along the wall under the ceiling, like a more spectacular alternative to wall hooks.
How to enter an interior
The bike on the wall will inevitably attract attention and become either an ally or the destroyer of the interior. It is best to look at the teenage children's room or indoors in Loft style: here any technique and mechanics are more or less appropriate. Two-wheeled and cool Scandinavian interiors that are not forced to be furnished are not bad.
The rest of the bike is the same element of the interior as, for example, a chair. So the wall should be a good bike background. Warely combination: Dark silhouette Plus White Wall. Especially nice in such an entourage will look at retromodel.
Irryize: Imagine the same bike on the wall, but in the big picture frame. This is no longer a place for storage, but installation. Designer wheels covers will also allow you to enter an alien mechanism in any interior. Especially touching knitted.
Led - in business
If it allows the place, the bike can not hang onto the wall and do not hide in the closet, but, on the contrary, put on a prominent place, turning it (for winter time, for example) in a stand for flower pots - baskets on the steering wheel and the trunk as if created for this .
In a non-standard bathroom, you can remove the bike even under the sink (a series of designer stands was even born from this idea). In the basket it is convenient to store toilet paper or towels.
By the way, another designer series of furniture arose from combining a bicycle and bar counter (is on request in the search engine) - the saddle was great became a bar stool. You can do it yourself.
Over the past few years, bicycles have gained popularity and steel, practically, family sport. It is not surprising: he replaces the gym, adds an adventure element to life, allows the whole family fun and with benefit to spend time. In addition, the fashion for this type of transport adds the element of prestige to our life.
However, there is another side: their fairly dimensional and its storage is associated with a decrease in residential space.
How and where to store a bike in a small apartment? Specific decisions on saving space and convenient placement of two-wheeled vehicles in their apartment - the first thing that takes the lucky owner of this means of movement. Especially if this transport is bought for the whole family.
Of course, when there is a demand, a proposal appears, both cycles, parking, and various bike storage fasteners. Now it remains only to decide: which suitable for you?
Bicycle storage in the apartment
Almost everyone starts with the fact that the "Park" bike (s) in their hallway or the fenced accessible drive space, as a last resort - on the balcony. However, sooner or later, the thought of a lost space comes, which can be used more rationally, besides, not "behind the mountain" ending the season of cycling.
Let's look at how to arrange them so that they occupy the smallest useful area.
Fasteners for a bike on the wall
Bicycles are flat enough to organize in the wall space at some distance from the floor. It is worth only to organize fasteners and your favorite transport will always be in place, which is convenient, aesthetic.
Fasteners for a bike in the form of a hook on the wall
I note that they are two types: for horizontal and vertical storage.
Fasteners for horizontal storage bike It has 2 hooks, individual or dual, at least 15 centimeter plants. Aggregate is suspended for the frame.
Such hooks are usually lifting, if they are not used, then pressed against the wall, ensuring the safety of households.
Fasteners for vertical storage bike It can also look like a hook that clings not behind the frame, but for the wheel. At the same time, there are also 2 options for fastening the bike along the wall: parallel with the wall and perpendicularly.
Please note that the hook-fastener located in parallel wall - attitudes a two-wheeled friend perpendicularly, and those that the edge looks up - creparate parallel.
Bicycle fasteners with shelf
It is increasingly important for us, the design becomes together with the multifunctionality of furniture items. A fastener for a bicycle with a shelf creates comfort at home not only due to a more profitable placement of transport, but also gives an additional shelf for keys, perfume, the handbags - the little things that need to be put somewhere at the entrance.
Unfortunately, this is foreign development that has not yet found the manufacturer in Russia, but the idea itself deserves attention. I hope she will find her artist.
Holder - Suspension for fastening bike to ceiling
This design is designed to attach a bike to the ceiling. It consists of a set of fasteners for the ceiling, a rope system of descent and lifting of transport. The execution of this system may be different.
Less convenient, but still effectively, you can build a ceiling storage system with your own hands.
Bicycle rack
This is something like a bicycle hanger. It is relevant if you have two or more pieces of two-wheeled transport.
They are attached to each other, due to which they free the necessary space. This can be fixed both 3 and 4-re transport.
Where to store a bike in a small apartment
Where to store a bike - in the hallway, room or balcony? First you need to understand the pros and cons of each location, as well as know the necessary rules that will ensure the safety of your two-wheeled friend.
Bicycle storage on the balcony
Most often for winter storage, the bike is sent to the balcony. And everything seems to be nothing, but it should be borne in mind that open storage in frost, temperature drop, humidity can lead to micro plasters, mechanisms and rubber. And in the bright Sun he fades, the quality of rubber deteriorates.
Therefore, the requirements for storing the bicycle on the balcony will be mandatory glazing it, and, or a case on or cape, or stored in a disassembled form. The exception is not a sunny side of the balcony.
Bicycle storage outside the apartment
There is no limit of human ingenuity, however, the option on the wall of the house may not be the best choice for the same reason as the open balcony. But the option in the entrance is more wealthy, provided a closed entrance, a working elevator, as well as normal neighbors.
Bicycle storage in the hallway
The first thing comes to mind is to hang on the wall. This is a good idea, often coming to the head of the owners of healthy transport, but you can use this option more useful: frame bikes have a comfortable crossbar, resembling a barbell for hangers with clothes.
If the hallway is small and even suspended on the wall, this transport is prevented - define its place under the most ceiling.
Bicycle storage in the corridor
Corridors are different, but the area of \u200b\u200bnon-busy walls is usually extensive there. This is a beautiful field for fantasy: there you can arrange a bike, or even two.
You can use different niches, openings, ceiling, walls
Bicycle storage cabinet
Any crazy thought that can slip into our head about comfortable accommodation is already essential and represented in the designer thought in the West.
Although the option is not deep (approximately cm 20) of the closed cabinet in the corridor, made to order, will be able to serve you a good service: compactly, closed from outsiders to place a bike, protect it from external storage time, collect all things related to it with in One place.
Bicycle storage in the room
At the end, we came to sharing with a bicycle in the room. It is worth noting that the bike is not just a principle of life, but ideology, yours, as a person. And in this concept, he can become one of the manifestations of your "I". So why hide him? On the contrary! You can demonstrate to friends, guests of your home our "pride", which even winter will remind you that the best times will come.
Of course, for a joint stay, your transport should fit into the style of the room. See how foreign designers enjoy this technique.
Accessories
Bicycle storage in the apartment is an important problem for all owners of two-wheeled vehicles. In Europe, cyclists are due respectable respect - there is a developed network of cycles and parking. Two-wheeled transport got widespread not only as a way to maintain himself in good physical formBut also as an economical vehicle movement in the city. There are many non-standard bike storage solutions at home offered by designers.
Bicycle storage options in the apartment
- In apartments where enough space can be installed a special cabinet. The most rational solution will be the installation of a cabinet in the corridor. You can independently develop a cabinet layout for several bikes. Specialized stores offer ready-made furniture for comfortable design for sport inventory. Furniture can be made in the form of folding screen, wooden or aluminum frames. At the bottom there are shelves or storage boxes for storing tools and accessories. The cabinet is installed along the wall, economically using space. No need to raise a bike vertically. The option is beautiful and functional, but not for all suitable.
- Fasteners for the frame with a built-in storage location. This option allows you to use every centimeter of space. Due to the features of the configuration of cyclers, quite long and the resulting space between the bike and the wall can be used to install the shelf or stand. Here you can store bicycle gloves, lantern, lock and other accessories.
- Fasteners for the wheel. Vertical storage perpendicularly wall is suitable for long narrow corridors when the mount is installed on a short wall so that the bike will hang in the corner along the long wall. Minimalistic design special attention Does not attract. With an independent installation, it is necessary to carefully treat a dowel or self-built attachment. Permanent large load can lead to unexpected consequences - the fall of transport.
- Under the ceiling. The non-traditional method that is suitable for long-term storage. The fixation system is not easy in installation, but reliable.
- On the rack. Racks are made of metal tubes. Fastening option is convenient for storing two or three bicycles. The racks occupy a significant space, so suitable for corridors with a large area.
- Behind the door. With the help of fasteners, the bike can be suspended on the door that is infrequently used. Suitable door storeroom.
- Specialized stores offer a variety of shelves, with which it is not difficult to hang a bike on the wall. Decorative decorative elements, you can get an attractive design that will decorate the corridor. The top of the shelf is used in different ways - for books, colors, small details. Make the shelf independently easily and yourself.
- In a niche at the door. Ensures long-term storage in apartments, where possible.
- On the floor. There are comfortable racks on sale, which are 180 degrees after attachment. Transportation can be fixed at any angle to the wall. When the bike is located along the wall, the rack will also be a reliable retainer.
Bicycle storage on the balcony and loggia
An open balcony is suitable only for summer bicycle content. Manufacturers do not recommend storing bikes at temperatures in rooms below zero. Drops of temperature, rain, snow, fog negatively affects the state of metal, paint, plastic, hydraulics. Even the use of transport by plastic film, it is difficult to avoid corrosion. The temperature difference leads to the appearance of condensate.
Warmed closed balcony - the most suitable place to keep the bike in the apartment at any time of the year. Most convenient to post folding bikes on the balcony. They occupy a minimum of space. In the folded state, the design is easy to transfer from the entrance doors to the balcony. The bike can be suspended on special brackets to the ceiling, fasten up vertically on the wall, place compact two bikes on a small balcony or loggia ceiling. Direct sunlight should be avoided - plastic and rubber can be cracked, paint peeling, clean the protective varnish.
For the winter it is necessary to put transportation:
- Clear dirt and dust;
- remove old lubricant;
- re-lubricate speed switches, chain, brakes, hinges;
- Metal surfaces thoroughly wipe with a wipe rag;
- weaken the springs of shock absorbers, cables;
- Camera cost a little bit if the vehicle is hanging, if you stand - periodically, if necessary, pump up;
- Lubricate the tires with protective silicone - it will protect them from drying out.
Types of fasteners (video)
In a small urban room, often the only solution is the bracket for two-wheeled vehicles. The main principle of placement of transport - if they do not enjoy some a short time, He should not take a seat. Most placement methods are reduced to the fact that the mechanism should be raised and consolidated. The type of fastening depends on the type of bracket.
- The main way of fasteners is wall-mounted on the frame. Rama can be bought or made yourself. You can install in a convenient location on the balcony or in the corridor. An additional plus - on the bracket of this type you can hang more than one bike. This option is widely used in apartments that are not overloaded with furniture. In horizontal industrial production systems, the suspension for placing a bicycle can be fixed on the rail system. The system folds when not used. This method may not be quite adapted to accommodate models with a complex geometry of the frame or bicycles of two-power.
- Suspensions for vertical storage.
- Ceiling mount. Pretty a complex system Using cables, suspended blocks and hooks for fastening. After fixing under the ceiling, transport does not occupy free space of the room. The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of installation and high cost.
- Cyclers. The most common attachment option. The method requires minimal effort. It is enough to purchase the necessary devices. Crochet design is the most different: some are screwed like screws, others are welded for a common base that can be fixed on the wall or ceiling. Fastening hooks can be horizontal or vertical. Among the hooks for vertical attachment, a interesting solution represents DA VINCI. Top part Fastenings is the hook itself, the bottom - the stand for the rear wheel, so as not to stain the wall.
In most cases, special devices and stands offer online stores, but some of them can be made independently. Thus, ESSE manufactures specially designed hooks, suspensions and mechanisms that allow you to store two-wheeled vertically or horizontally fixed on the floor on the wall or suspended to the ceiling.
Designing fasteners yourself, it is necessary to expect that it must withstand the weight of transport plus 5 kg, for an adult model at least 20 kg. For the convenience of assembly, mount fastenings should be so that it remains at least 15 cm from the wheels to the floor. You can purchase special waterproof shoe covers on wheels that will protect the apartment from street mud. The bike will not have to be transferred to the balcony - covers do not make it difficult to move.
Modern industrial models of fixtures have an attractive design and can be part of the decor of the apartment interior.
Bicycle storage ideas in the apartment
One of the warmest memories of our childhood, is how dad teaches us to ride a bike and then feeling when looking back, we realized that I eat themselves, without his help. In the past few years, against the backdrop of many wishes to twist pedals, cycling topics, increasingly began to appear in projects of modern designers.
In addition to a stable risk of fuel, the second important stimulus is care of his health. After all, the problem is excess weight, now probably the most relevant among people aged 25 years.
Let us turn to the topic of storage of a bicycle in the apartment and we picked up for you, 25 interesting decisions, to turn on the bike in the apartment design.
Bicycle storage on the wall
Obviously, the most popular storage solution is the cycling racks that are facing near supermarkets. But for the apartment, this option does not fit, in view of the area being too large.
The most optimal idea of \u200b\u200bplacing a bicycle in the interior of the city apartment, today is the use of wall mounts. But in this article, we want to show you how you can use the option of simply hanging on the hooks, applies to your room design.

The second option, the cardinal opposite of the previous one, while you place a bike visually released from the common background. In this case, the two-wheeled object becomes the coordination center of the room.
When choosing a place to store a bike, you should not limit yourself to some particular room in an apartment, such as an entrance hall, or a balcony. The creative approach in this matter allows you to consider the accommodation option in any room: living room, bedroom, kitchen.

Bicycle storage in the apartment photo
After buying a bicycle, many people have a question: where and how to store it? Well, if there is a lot of free space in the house or apartment, and the bike can be safely put so that it does not interfere with anyone, but most of us have no place in the apartments. The problem becomes even more serious if there is no insulated loggia or balcony where your bike could be overwhelmed. We will look at different storage options for home bike and options for devices that are called to "optimize" this process.
1. Storage folded
The easiest option if your bike has a folding frame - the storage problem immediately decreases in half - like your bike. Even easier if your bike is not just folding, and the superworks - for example, like Forward Enigma.
In contrast to the usual folding bike, the superstar still turns and the steering wheel is folded. You can also fold the pedals without removing them from the bike. And in addition to this, such superclad bikes, as a rule, have a small diameter wheels - 20-24 inches, which makes their storage even simpler.
2. Storage disassembled
You can save a lot of space if you disassemble the bike - in whole or in part. At the same time, it is clear that both options are suitable for those who are confident in their knowledge of disassembling and assembling a bicycle and only when it comes to storing a bicycle in this form for a long time, for example, in winter.
So, if you decide to save your bike to save place, you can do the following:
Loosen the mounting of the steering column and expand the steering wheel parallel to the frame, or to completely remove it;
- remove the saddle;
- unscrew the pedals (if you wish, you can be spinning back only from the inside);
- remove the front wheel, weakening nuts or eccentrics on the sleeve;
- If in this form, the bike is still not compact enough, you can remove the rear wheel.
3. Storage assembled
Disassemble and collect a bike between skiing during a cyclezon, to put it mildly, not very convenient. Therefore, and so relevant the topic - how to keep an awkward bike in the apartment, without disassembling it.
The bike can just stand in the far corner if you have a lot of space in the apartment. However, most often the place is missing and you have to use the walls and even the ceiling of the apartment, resorting to various special devices. Some of which, by the way, in addition to their functionality, also look very aesthetic.
This is a fairly fastening that saves a place on the floor. Such a hook is easy to attach to the ceiling. True, this decision is not very suitable for women and children, since each time you have to raise the entire weight of the bike upstairs.
The brackets are somewhat more complex in attachment to the ceiling, but the process of hanging the bicycle is significantly facilitated, since it does not need to be lifted above. The bike is attached behind the wheel and the saddle on the hooks of the suspension device, pulls up to the desired height, after which the cord is fixed in the stretched position.
Devices for attaching a bicycle vertically to the wall outwardly very similar to the hanger. Bike is placed in vertical position on the rear wheel, the hook is starting for the rim front wheel. In order for the bike does not pack wallpaper, you can at touch the wall by the bottom wheel to attach a protective bar from any girlfriend.
A bicycle suspension on the wall is perhaps the most popular way to store a bicycle in the apartment. And the list of fixtures is also very diverse. It can be quite simple hooks - stationary and folding. Stationary hooks usually have a small removal. On the one hand, it is compact, on the other - the bike on such a mount concerns the wall, it can interfere with the steering wheel and / or pedals, which he will rest in the wall. For this reason, stationary hooks with a small takeaway are more suitable for long-term storage of the bike without movement, when you can expand the steering wheel and unscrew the pedals.
Folded fastenings are also very compact, and in unfolded - very convenient for daily storage of the bicycle houses during the cycle season. Thanks to the large removal of such fixtures, the bike is easily suspended without any manipulations with the wheel and pedals.
Separately, it is worth talking about the various variations of the wall mounting bike. These can be various shelves, lockers and other adaptations from wood or plastic, which in addition to the functions of hanging on them bike and role, actually, shelves, etc. If you wish, you can make the regiment you need the configuration you need. The rest of the above-described bicycle fastening options should be sought in specialized cymagazines.
The question of storing a bike is very acute for residents of cities. The absence of equipped cycling plates with limited access, small living space makes it use very unpopular storage methods. Someone throws off their bikes into the street, someone in the entrance, then flashes about loss and greedily read. In fact, the storage options mass.
Storage outside the apartment
Wheelchair
Not the best, but acceptable option - leave a bike in a specially equipped so-called "wheelchair", the key from the castle of which has only a few people. At least, there he will not interfere with other residents of the house, will not contradict the fire standards about free access to the apartments. True, you can meet such places mostly in new homes, and if you live in the house of the old building, I will have to keep the bike in the apartment. And it is very the best way Of all possible.
Garage
If you have a garage in the farm, then you can only envy. Walked out of the house to the garage, took a bike, rode, put it back, then smeared, cleaned. Perfect option For a bike, but not for you. Especially if you need to go somewhere urgently, and the bike is used as vehicle. After all, the road to the garage takes time and is unlikely to be under the windows of your apartment. Yet the most convenient option - always keep the bike "sideways" so that in the case of which you will use them quickly.
Balcony
In most houses, in addition to apartments there are balconies. To constantly not cling to the wheel of a bike when walking around the house, you can clean it on the balcony. Very good if he is glazed. If not, cover the bike at least by the linen so that it is protected from the rain.
However, not everyone boasts the presence of a balcony in the apartment. Or maybe you organized there a recreation area with a beautiful view of the courtyard and a neighboring house? Then you have to share the living space with your bike.
Storage in the apartment
Parishion
In the presence of a large hallway, it can be left there, you only need to raise the linoleum in advance, a piece of linoleum or a newspaper under the wheels. The same applies to storage in the room. You will not get anything, if you bother in advance about the surface on which you will put a bike. If you returned home on the rain and stained a bike, then you can leave it in the entrance for 5 minutes so that the main water and dirt of the glass will be sure to remove the traces, because you are a neat and cultural person.
