Riding Bikes with a good friend is one of the joys of life. Be it your neighbor, relative, wife, or childhood acquaintance, taking a bike ride in twos is certainly terrific. But as is the case in life, with everything that is great and amazing, there is a dark, troubling side. You know what I mean. That’s right: storage. Always with the storing. Storing those 2 bikes can sure be a pain when it comes to saving space and organizing the garage. And when you’ve got 2 Bikes, boy, tricky business. But stop the fretting, I have the answer! Would you expect anything less from Bike Racks Blog?

It’s called the Heavy Duty Bike Tree! It’s available over at Stacks and Stacks, and it’s a great new storage system, specifically for 2 bikes! It’s a Bike Rack with a difference! Full movement, full adjustable optimization! It has a really cool patented arm design that allows the arm to move up and down as well as side to side — and that means easy storage and perfect positioning. Don’t worry about what kind of bike you ride, because the Heavy Duty Bike Tree holds any style of bike! Get on over there and check it out, but do it fast! The faster you have your Bike Rack system secure in your garage, the faster you’ll be back out on the ride, bike riding! With a friend!
Earlier today, I was looking for a great solution to the problem of hoisting TWO bikes at the same time. Bikeracksblog.com Reader Niamh liked my earlier post on the subject, and asked me if I could find a ceiling-hoist rack for two. Man, I tried. And while I couldn’t find EXACTLY what you were after, Niamh, this terrific wall rack looks like it’s up to the task of handling two bikes AND saving space, doesn’t it? It’s the Wall Mounted Bicycle Rack - Double Vertical, and I found it at STACKS AND STACKS:

Cool! And while the bike won’t hang from the ceiling, Niamh, the Double Vertical is a really strong, really tough customer that is made of durable steel (SOLID steel) that is a snap to install in your garage (even with your washer and dryer taking up the space you need for bicycles!
). The cool thing is that the Double Vertical not only comes with it’s own tools to install it, but it has some pretty cool security features as well. If you use a cable lock when you put your bikes in it (always a good idea) the “security loop” stops anyone from making off with your bike(s). God forbid anyone got into your garage, but if they did, they wouldn’t be getting away with your bikes!

Take a look at that! Not only is the Double Vertical safe, but it has added room for storage. You can put anything you need there, from helmets, water bottles, bike path maps, even a “go-bag” of everything you need for a quick bike ride getaway at a moments notice! See those molded rubber hook guards? They’re there to protect your wheels and rims, another cool addition to the design. So, Niamh, what do you think? It’s not EXACTLY a hanging ceiling-hoist double bike rack, but it’s CLOSE! Let me know what you think, write me back, and please review the Double Vertical if you install it. Thanks again for reading bikeracksblog.com!
