Two Bike Bike Rack

I wanted a way to store my two bikes inside with as little room as possible. I saw a bike rack at my local bike shop and looked it up online here . $90? That's too much for me to spend on something so simple. I figured I could make it out of 2x4s and some bolts.... so I did.

Step 1 Design Your Rack

This design can be tweaked many ways. I wanted to rack to be able to hold two bikes, one above the other. You could even have the arms extend toward the back and have a 4 bike rack.The bikes are supported by two arms with a padded cradle. The arms are height adjustable to any desired height. You can turn the cranks on both bikes but it is difficult to work on either of the bikes in the rack.

Just a shout out to Pankake for solving my own bike storage dilemma. I live in a manager size apt which couldn't hold the two bikes i have. But there is a parking garage at my back door that would work. Two things were holding me back. 1st i needed to design something presentable to the owners that would not take up space for paying tenants and 2nd the entire garage is concrete that i can't drill into ! That's a AH-HA moment for me to see your design.....Props to you
