How do you store your bike? At work & at home - we're looking into getting a bike cage at work and wanted to know how effective they are & if anyone already uses them?
Whats the best type to get?
For home storage, does anyone hang their bike from a hook in the ceiling to save space? Where do you keep your bike if you don't have a shed?

Space is at a bit of a premium at my house, so one bike is stored clamped to a maintenance stand about 3ft off the floor and the other sits beneath it.
Makes a good interior design feature, if you like bikes...
These are good bits of kit too:

Shops use them to display bikes, so they are pretty reliable. They hold up to four bikes so they're a great space-saver too.
Also, have a look in B&Q for the big plastic-coated hooks that screw directly into the wall. If you screw them up high you can lift the front wheel in the air and hook it on, so the bike sort of sits vertically, with both wheels against the wall. Great for fitting loads of bikes in a small space.
