Hi Andrew. Is the 1/2 bike a unicycle by chance?

We don’t have garage either, and do have 7 bikes for 3 1/2 people (one is away at college). We’ve simply converted our entrance hallway and half of our den in to bike storage/hanger area.

Nope, a Burley third wheel bike – though if you were good you could probably do it.

We’ve used all of the above, but our current rental actually has a garage that we can use for the bikes, so we’ve gotten soft .

What are you looking for? A shed-type thing?

Sort of nice shed-y thing accessible to the side walkway and drive. I was envisioning a 12’x3′ footprint, 8′ high with a shed roof, clerestory windows on the high side of the roof, with 2 sliding barn type doors on the opening side, the closed side would serve as a defining wall for the patio. The idea being that you could hang at least one bike behind each door, and then park a few on each side of the floor. With some shelves for helmets, panniers and such.

Then I started to think about garage doors that, when open, would pop out the back and shade the patio, and… decided that maybe some professional help was in order to keep things from getting out of hand.

With all the cool commercial bike shelter/locking station design work, I’m a bit surprised that I haven’t seen any residential work – and I’ve been looking.
