Storing your bike on the wall is a convenient way to save space and keep your bike safe from damage. To hang your bike on the wall securely, you’ll want to use a bike rack or a bike hook. After using a drill to properly install the mount for your bike, you'll have more free space and easy access to your bike whenever you're ready for a ride.

Installing a Bike Rack

  1. Step 1 Get a wall-mount bike rack online or at your local hardware store.
    Choose a vertical or horizontal wall mount depending on how you want your bike to be stored. A vertical bike rack is a good option if you're trying to conserve wall space. Choose a horizontal bike rack if you want your bike to hang flat against the wall.[1] You can even build one if you want.

Using a Bike Hook

  1. Step 1 Get a bike hook that can hold the weight of the bike.
    The packaging on the hook should say the maximum load capacity. Don't use a hook that's not meant to hold the weight of the bike or it could pull out of the wall.
    • You can find bike hooks at your local hardware store or online here.
    • Use a bathroom scale to figure out the weight of the bike if you're unsure. Weigh just yourself on the scale, and then weigh yourself on the scale while holding the bike. Subtract your weight from the weight of you plus the bike - the number you're left with is how much your bike weighs.
    EXPERT TIP

    "There are a lot of options for mounting your bike, but I prefer bike hooks. They're only a few dollars apiece, and they're simple to use."
