How to Create an Indoor Bike Parking Spot?

For ardent bike lovers, their bikes are the ultimate assets. Some keep them safe inside garages, others sleep with them in their rooms, while the absolute exhibitionists display them in the living rooms. In any case, storing a bike indoors is one idea that is not only exciting but also ensures bike safety. Read below to know how it is possible.

Decide Installation Type

Hang it from a ceiling or hook it to a wall. By doing so, you don’t have to compromise the floor space of the room or the garage. If you choose to hook the bike to the wall, decide whether to do it horizontally or vertically. Next, you must decide whether to choose a hook, a hanger, a wall rack, or a bicycle wall mount. Each of them has its pros and cons and you must review them before making your final decision.

Buy the Right Mount

Bike mounts and hangers are available in huge varieties. The first thing you must consider is the type of bike you own. Do you own a road bike or a mountain bike? Is it a BMX bike or a hybrid one? Check the weight of the bike so that the mount you choose has the required load-bearing capacity.

Next, consider the mount's material as well as its construction. Is it durable enough to last long? Does it have smooth surfaces so that there is no room for scratches on your bike? Is calibration possible to attain the right angle so that you can maintain the bike's balance?

It would be great if the mount offers a flexible design to support two or more bikes with different frame constructions. Also, if you plan to store your bike in the garage, a mount with security features is what you should go for.

Buying and Installing

Many stores offering BMX bikes for sale and other bike accessories are the right destinations to purchase compatible mounts. Make sure that the one you choose comes with clear installation instructions. Also, you must learn how to effortlessly and safely hang and remove your bike on an everyday basis.

Even if you have a small house, it can still accommodate your treasured bike in a safe and fun manner.
