3 life hacking by bicycle storage in the apartment
Most people love to ride a bike. Someone chooses a leisurely ride at walking pace, someone more in the soul of the race over rough terrain, and some prefer the highway and the wind in his face. Regardless of preference, all fans of two-wheeled friends with a muscular drive one thing in common - the bike should be stored somewhere. Those who live outside the city, it is easier - you can put the bike in the garage or hozblok. City dwellers more difficult, on account of every available centimeter, and often have to throw the bike in the hallway or put to balcony.
more interesting compact storage options of different thingsAbout which we wrote earlier. In this review about where to place your bike.
bicycle lift
Italian inventor offers original bicycle storage system called "bike-lift." The system represents an easy structure (collected from a thin-walled metal tubes), attachable to the ceiling of the garage. In operation, the linkage hanging horizontal ceiling and is held in this position gas lift.
To put the bike on the storage, the owner need to pull the "hand" lift, equipped with a U-shaped chute. The lift descends perpendicularly to the ceiling. All that is left to the user - is to have a trough in the bicycle wheels and lock the seat by special spring-loaded detent in the form of a hook. Then lift is released and, at the expense of gas lift, "hand" with the bike slowly rises to the ceiling of the garage.
Also in the "bike-lift" is a separate shelf under the crash helmet. The whole construction is collected on the screw connections. Thanks to adjustable clips and a sliding member, you can adjust the size of the lift under any brand of bike.
"Hanger" for bicycle
Overseas, the inventors propose an option that is captivating in its simplicity - two curved brackets that are simply screwed to the wall.
As planned by the Americans, the cyclist slightly lifts the bike and gets between the frame brackets.
In order not to damage the paintwork of the frame on the brackets glued silicone stripes.
At the bottom of the bracket is a hook on which to hang a backpack or helmet.
That the arms do not protrude from the wall (as long as the bike is not hanging on them), they can be made reclining. The dimensions of the supports and the material from which they are made, are selected depending on the brand of the bicycle, its weight and dimensions of the frame.
Shelf under the bike
The third version of the storage system also offered the American cycling enthusiast Jurgen Beneke. The idea is this - a bicycle suspended on a special shelf figured the front of the saddle.
Shelves Dimensions:
- length - 50 cm;
- Depth - 30 cm;
- height - 35 cm.
On assurance of the inventor, the size of the shelf and its figurative part are designed so that you can hang on the saddle any brand of bike.
Sheer shelf recruited from several pieces of plywood cut on a milling machine, which are then glued to each other. All work was carried out in the home studio of Jurgen. Then the painted shelf, and place under the seat, so that it will not scratch and does not slip, pasted corrugated rubber.
In addition to the bike, on the shelf, you can keep a safety helmet, spare parts, and also to use the shelf as a "third hand" for repairs bicycle.
For example, when changing a wheel.
The inventor plans to further upgrade its products. In particular, Jurgen plans to produce a shelf made of plastic and launch it into mass production.
