I'm in the process of renovating a back room which is where I keep my bike and gear. Right now the bike leans on a wall and I keep all the gear on top of a spare desk. This includes clothes so I can dress early mornings and not wake my wife. I'm looking for cheap ideas to incorporate into the remodel for storing all this stuff in a neat, attractive and easily accessible way. This includes:
shorts/bibs
jerseys
road shoes
touring shoes
socks
gloves
Road ID
bicycle helmet
heart monitor strap/watch
various performance/nutrition bars, tablets, gels, etc.
I'd like something wherein the bike hangs but not high up, really just a few inches off the ground. I've seen the wire rack type of gear organizers but don't like them. Just plain ugly to me.
Feel free to post pics of your solution!
