I am about to move and get 1/2 a garage for my man-cave.
What is the best cycle storage solution you have seen or used?
Wall mounted is the most likely, but other options considered.

Topeak dual touch

Or

Minoura bike tower 10

These designs are the easiest to move around when required

Yes, the Topeak and Minoura solutions are amongst the most flexible if your garage ceiling isn't too high or has a false ceiling.

No nailing required and you can adjust as you please infinite number of times.

I like the steady-racks I have to say. I have 6 of them in an offset pattern (one high, one lower, one high...) in my cave. I like the flexibility to rotate the bikes towards the wall, stow the rack when it's not being used, etc.

I'd recommend this stand...and if you really want to get streamlined, you can just get the mount and directly bolt into your wall....

For the ultimate man cave, I always thought it would be cool to have recessed pockets in the wall to put the bike, spot lighting, etc. :beerchug:

I use Cycloc...I have 4 and I like it since it easily mounts and easily adjusts for horizontal or vertical.

I mount the family's bikes and my old bike using Shimano Pro vertical wheel mounts.
My new bike hangs from the hallway ceiling with a roof hoist I got from Amazon.

My problem is my mountain bike with 785mm bar. I really like the looks of Steadyrack.com and how you can turn the bike to the side but its not possible for me to install it on the wall I want.
