We at the Elyria (Ohio) Bicycle Education Center are pretty new to much of how to run a coop and shop. We appreciate the collective intelligence being shared here.
We are looking for a good and inexpensive way to display bikes in our front 'sales room' without relying on kickstands to hold up the bikes (some have'em, some don't).
Willing to build wood racks or whatever but have not seen anything reasonable yet.
Any suggestions?

We are looking for a good and inexpensive way to display bikes in our front 'sales room' without relying on kickstands to hold up the bikes (some have'em, some don't).
Some years ago we applied for and received a grant to purchase a multi-tiered bike rack on which we display our sale bikes. Here's a photo of it just after we installed it in the Spring of 2014. We bought it from Lindcraft Bike Racks (https://www.lindcraftracks.biz/).

We've been having this same question for several months at Recycle Ithaca's Bicycles. What we're doing is hanging bikes on the wall vertically by the front tire - the commonly sold retail thing - but we just use a 2x4 and $1.18 hooks from the hardware store.
This doesn't solve the fact that we need to use our vertical/overhead space, however, as we have ceilings that are quite tall but a room that lacks a lot of floor space. For that, we are currently looking at replicating in 2x4's and carriage bolts a commercial storage system used, as far as I know, only at Target stores where the bike is raised and lowered by a sort of cantilevered arm (less complicated than it sounds). If you're curious just go to target - the system is very cool.
We're resorting to this because not every volunteer is strong or agile enough to lift a bike that high, or climb a ladder with one, and also climbing ladders with bikes is a big safety hazard.

Several years ago we built this rack at Bike Saviours in AZ:
[image: Inline image 1] I don't have a pic of just the rack so you have to look in the back of the pic and you can see that the racks are almost free standing but are mounted into the ceiling rafters, and squared off on the floor but only mounted at the top (if I remember correctly). Two ladders were needed to get bikes down from the top rack, as the top deck bikes were hanging from both wheels. We mounted those closer together as it was more of a "storage" solution whereas the lower rack was easier to access and used for bikes in progress.
I believe this space is a cross fit now so we can't ask for close ups but hope this is somewhat useful!
