As above really, I want to stick a couple of bikes up on the garage wall I was wondering if anyone had any unusual solutions?

Cheers

Set a rail of some sort ~6" from the wall at about shoulder height. Wheels drop into rail at an angle, then use a hook/cup on a strap to the roof to hold the bars/frame up.

Did this for my mountain bike as despite numerous bleeds the brakes didn't like being upside down for prolonged periods of time.

Got some of these (with appropriate mounting blocks):

Not cheap I'm sure, but easy to mount and do the job.

Use your own screws though, supplied ones are rubbish. I staggered mine high and low and fit 6 bikes in a very small space.
