Round up Wheels
With a simple rope-and-pulley arrangement, you can hoist bicycles to rafters and lock them safely. When you want to ride, you just need to release the locks and lower the bicycle to the floor.

Specially designed wall racks allow children to hang their skateboards and helmets together. These racks won’t cost more than $40 and you won’t take more than half an hour to secure them to wall joists.

Organize your Sporting Goods
In you are into outdoor activities like tennis, football, or golf; you probably already have a large collection of balls, rackets, gloves, and clubs lying around in your garage. You can keep them all together in a simple rack armed with hangers. Or you can attach balls claws to the wall.
The steel ski rack can safely store 2 pairs of skis, boots, and poles. Secure this rack to your wall studs so that it can easily hold the weight. In case you can’t position the rack on wall studs, you should consider using wall anchors.
As for the fishing rods, you can suspend 2 wire shelves from the ceiling of your garage. Each shelf should be about five feet apart. The next step is to thread the rods through their openings. A vinyl coated 4 foot-by-16 inch wire shelf costs less than $9. Saw this shelf in half crosswise and you will get two shelves of half the size.
