Ricky,

I have managed to put about 5 various types of bike racks in the house and display over 15 bikes! I have small oak wall attached racks, free standing racks and floor to ceiling wall propped racks. The nicer pieces hang in the living room over the couch, against a wall (with an antique quilt in the background), in front of the fireplace and in front of some wall bookcases. I even installed track lighting to highlight them. I have 8 others on 2 free standing racks and 3 leaning against the wall in my little bike work shop area (off the living room). Another leans against a wall in the dining room. The remainder of my bikes are in the basement with the exception of an occasional bike leaning anywhere. If I put bikes left and right, I can get 2 on each support arm of the displays. Be certain that the racks are well secured. I think the bikes actually look nice in the house! Best art available!

hi everyone,

concerning bike space: I am probably not the only one here who has been too big for my britches in purchasing bikes. it wasn't (too ) much of a problem when I lived as a bachelor, but now I am living with my girlfriend and splitting time with my two kids in my (yikes/gasp) two bedroom apartment.

does anyone have any great storage ideas (particularly in the NC triangle area)?

I have considered:

* storage (too much--minimum of $600 a year, or as I like to think of it, one (1) colnago mexico)

* rich friends (they seem to have less space than I do--I guess they have more stuff)

* instantly fathering a (55 cm measuring) child who has his own house via some weirdly circumloqucious trust fund

* giving them all to dale

so far, no good. all better and/or ingenious ideas entertained.

I am up to 13. the dresser is pretty hard to open, and so is the door. I want to move into the house that jerry mathers lived in during LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. the garage looked pretty big.
