David,

The Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange built a number of freestanding bike racks from wood. They're not much different than the average rack you see by a school, but are two-sided so can hold about 16 bikes or so if you alternate front and rear wheels. Obviously you could determine the length. 

If you're interested in learning more, I can snap some pics next time I'm down there, and measure the lumber used. 

Cheers, 
A

Hey all,

 

I’m just looking to get some inspiration from the hive-mind of two-wheeled do-gooders.

 

I need to build some free-standing bike storage for our bike program. I have a large open space for storage, and am looking to fit more bikes in the space.

 

Please share photos and designs for bike racks that…

 

* Stand on their own, without support or attachment to walls

* Hold 10 or more bikes each

* Bonus points for frugality

 

Thanks in advance everyone,

 

David
