I have tried a variety of ways to store my bikes, yet keep them accessible for use.
I have the rubber coated - Homer Depot type hooks in the ceiling. I have the rubber coated - bike shop type J hooks on the wall. I have the block-and-tackle type ( harder to install ) on the ceiling for both 2 bikes and the ski box for my car. I find I like systems that use the wheel of the bike ( the first 2 types ), rather than the block-and-tackle as the hooks tend to interfere with devices I have installed on the handlebars. All of these systems work, it depends on if you ( and your SO ) are able to lift your loaded bikes up and onto the hooks comfortably. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tbwmbn/1440037841/in/set-72157602162875691/ Riv content : My his-n-hers set of Mixtes are hidden in the basement ( and therefore not in the pictures ), since I'm currently on long term assignment out of country.
