In my Bike storage, a not to high basement room next to a workshop room, I use the typical Park tool style hooks placed next to each other in a distance of about 40cm. I then hang in my bikes next to each other on the wheels and in changing direction, one front end up, the other back end up. That way you can store more bikes than hanging them up all the same direction. The distance between the hooks ist determined by the the width of the bars on the bikes somehow.

I'm trying to figure out a good way to park my bikes in the garage so I can get them in and out without a lot of trouble. I'm considering building a rack to go on the floor and support them by the back wheel so they remain upright. It seems that staggering their arrangement would make it possible to get a bunch of them in without the pedals and bars clashing. Maybe putting them in alternate directions (facing in and out).

Has anyone come up with a satisfactory solution/arrangement? Approx measurements? I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
