Chris Hall on transforming his bike space with SpaceRail For Chris Hall (@chrishallrides), the challenge wasn’t a lack of bikes. It was a lack of space. Like many pro riders, Chris had a dedicated bike room, but it was small and already working hard. His previous setup relied on simple wall hooks which, while functional, took over the entire wall and made day-to-day access frustrating. Reaching bikes further from the door was awkward, and flexibility was limited. “I wanted to push everything down to one end of the room,” Chris explains. “To make as much space as I possibly could, but still be able to access everything easily.” That balance between maximising space and maintaining usability is exactly what led Chris to SpaceRail. Slide, don’t struggle With SpaceRail installed, the entire dynamic of the room changed. Instead of bikes being fixed in place, Chris can now slide them along the rail to access exactly what he needs, when he needs it. “The big thing for me is being able to push the bikes further up together,” he says. “I couldn’t do that with the hooked system I had before.” That flexibility matters. Chris regularly switches between bikes, sometimes riding one for a while before moving on to another. SpaceRail allows him to adapt the space around his riding habits rather than the other way around. “It’s just so much easier to take one bike off, slide the others along, and get on with it.” The unexpected bonus One of the quieter wins came after installation. Because SpaceRail is wall mounted, Chris discovered he could store his spare wheels above the bikes. “That was a bit of a secret added bonus,” he laughs. “Having my wheels stored on top has been really useful.” It’s a small detail, but one that adds up. More usable wall space, better organisation, and a bike room that finally feels calm and considered rather than cramped. Professional installation, zero stress Knowing what you want is one thing. Installing it confidently is another. Chris was clear that DIY wasn’t the route for him. Instead, he chose to have his SpaceRail professionally installed via AirTasker. “For me, using AirTasker was a really good way to get a professional to install something that I don’t trust myself to do properly,” he says. “I’m not great at DIY, so being able to get someone else to help was super helpful.” The experience was seamless. Tom, the installer, handled everything with care and precision. “He did a great job, and he was just a really nice guy as well. The whole thing was super simple and worked really well.” A space that works with you For Chris, the transformation isn’t just about storage. It’s about freedom. SpaceRail has given him a bike room that adapts to how he rides, how often he switches bikes, and how he wants the space to feel. Bikes slide. Space opens up. Access becomes effortless. “I just wanted that flexibility, really,” he says. “And this gives me exactly that.” Sometimes the biggest upgrade isn’t a new bike. It’s the space around it. --- Follow Chris:  Instagram  YouTube --- Check out AirTasker

When we decided to look into a garage makeover, there was one athlete who immediately came to mind. Someone whose riding style, personality and pure love of bikes make him the perfect match for what we do. That person was Sam Reynolds. A true icon of freeride, a builder of wild ideas and one of MTB’s most loved characters. So when the chance came to transform Sam’s garage, we went all in. Watch the video:     From chaos to calm Sam’s original setup had all the charm of a rider with too many projects and not enough time. Bikes stacked, gear everywhere, tools tucked into places only Sam could remember. It had personality, sure, but it didn’t have the flow or clarity an athlete of his level deserves. That is where the Stashed team stepped in. We fitted Sam with a full six-bike SpaceRail ceiling system, instantly clearing floor space and giving him smooth, glide-to-access storage that matches his fast, fluid style of riding. And with even more bikes arriving this year, we’re already lining up extra rails to keep his setup evolving. Partnering with Garage Style for the full upgrade To create something truly special, we teamed up with Garage Style who installed new flooring, lighting and one of their signature Bunker cabinet systems. The result is a clean, modern, high-performance space that feels more like a pro workshop than a garage. Everything has a place. Every bike has a home.And Sam finally has a space that works as hard as he does.   More to come in 2026 This collaboration is only the beginning. We’ll be working closely with Sam throughout the year to bring you exclusive behind-the-scenes content, big build moments, gear insight, ride prep, and the kind of unscripted stories only Sam can deliver. Expect fun. Expect chaos turned into order. Expect a lot of bikes. Sam Reynolds isn’t just a partner. He’s exactly the kind of rider Stashed was built for: passionate, creative, always pushing the limits. And now he has the setup to match. Alongside Sam’s garage upgrade, you might notice a few new shapes appearing on the walls. Clean lines. Modular panels. A system built to bring order to busy kit rooms and make every piece of gear easy to find. We’re not revealing everything just yet, but this new setup will change the way riders organise their space. Clearer. Smarter. Ready for action. Keep an eye out. The next chapter is on its way. Stay tuned. The year ahead is going to be a good one.  

Winter training is less about intensity and more about intention. With fewer events and more structure, this season gives you the rare chance to build fitness with focus. Set a clear goal, work backwards to create weekly and session plans, and make a dedicated space that removes friction. Even thirty minutes in the morning can create a snowball of progress. Small wins stack, momentum builds and winter becomes the foundation for your best year on the bike.

Gifts Your Cycling Friends Really Want Finding the perfect gift for a cyclist is strangely difficult. They know what they like. They know what they do not like. And their sport is full of oddly niche items that either become instant favourites or get quietly forgotten in a drawer. If you want to give something they will actually use, love and talk about on every ride, here is your guide to choosing gifts cyclists genuinely appreciate. What they definitely do not want Avoid the classic traps. Cyclists are picky and these usually miss the mark. Novelty cycling giftsPizza cutter shaped like a bike, tiny trinkets, anything that screams gadget. Fun cycling T shirtsThey will smile politely and never wear them. Novelty jerseysIf it looks like a joke, it will live at the back of the drawer forever. Books about the best rides in the worldEvery cyclist already has opinions about the best routes. They want inspiration that feels personal and beautiful, not generic. Stocking fillers that never fail These are the small things cyclists use all the time. They might not be flashy but they are always appreciated. Quality cycling socksA fresh pair of well made socks is a joy. Think breathable fabrics, good compression and colours that go with their favourite kit. Nice cycling water bottlesA stylish bottle is always welcome. Even better if it fits their frame cleanly and does not hold flavours. Bicycle cleaning kitEvery bike deserves love. A good cleaning kit keeps drivetrains smooth and helps their bike last longer. Air cartridgesCO2 cartridges are a lifesaver on the road. Cyclists burn through these quickly which makes them a perfect practical gift. Nutrition they actually likeEnergy bars, gels or drink mix from quality brands. Choose flavours they already use or go for simple classics that work for everyone.   Mid price gifts they will really appreciate These are the items that feel thoughtful and useful without going into big budget territory. Cycling glovesA good pair makes every ride more comfortable. Winter gloves are an easy win at this time of year. A nice cycling jerseyClean designs, no team prints, nothing world champion. Just stylish, breathable and well made. Understated always wins. A new helmetA practical gift that feels premium. Lightweight, comfortable and safe. Accessories for their SpaceRailThink extra hooks, a LaunchPad sleeve or add ons that make their setup even more satisfying. An inspiring cycling photo bookSomething beautiful for the coffee table. Rich imagery and timeless stories. Think the style of Michael Blann. Cycling specific sunglassesLightweight, grippy, high clarity lenses and a shape that fits well under a helmet.   Gifts with the wow factor When you want to go big and give something they will remember for years. A SpaceRail Bike Storage SystemThe dream gift for any cyclist. More space, more organisation and a setup that looks incredible in any kit room or garage. A pressure washer designed for bikesPerfect for anyone who rides through winter and needs a quick, safe way to keep their bike clean. A cycling holidayGive them a trip to the mountains, the sunshine or the gravel roads they daydream about. Nothing beats time on the bike in a beautiful place. A brand new bikeThe ultimate surprise for someone truly special.

The Story Behind Stashed ProductsHow a garage problem became a global bike storage brand Every brand starts with a moment. Ours began in a cluttered garage in Wales. The frustration that sparked an idea Stashed Products was born from the same ritual many cyclists know well. Roll the bike in after a ride, prop it somewhere, shuffle things around, step over wheels and handlebars, then repeat it all again the next day. Our founder, Elliot Tanner, is an engineer and lifelong cyclist. He looked at the chaos and saw something that didn’t make sense. Why do the bikes we care most about end up shoved in corners or hanging awkwardly from hooks that scrape paint or kink cables. Why is proper bike storage still an afterthought in an industry obsessed with engineering perfection. If you can obsess over geometry, carbon layup and suspension feel, why not obsess over the space they live in. From sketch to prototype Elliot started sketching ideas. Systems. Mechanisms. Components that could adapt to any garage or bike room. He wanted storage that could evolve as your stable of bikes evolved. One key insight shaped everything:Storage should move around the bikes. Not the other way around. The earliest prototypes were built late at night in a small workshop. Bits of aluminium extrusion, printed plastic components, bearings, hooks. The first breakthrough was the rotating hook. Then came the smooth sliding rail. Then a fully modular system that could sit on ceilings, walls, angled rafters and eventually on a freestanding frame. Every detail mattered: No bike should rub against the next one One hand operation should be effortless Long life span over landfill A system that grows and transforms rather than being replaced Protecting the idea As the system evolved, so did the weight of it.Elliot knew he had created something completely new. Something that deserved protection. That led to patents. Engineering partnerships. The IP wasn’t an afterthought. It became the backbone, giving Stashed the confidence to refine and scale while keeping the design language consistent and protected. The first launch In 2021 the SpaceRail launched. A ceiling rail with hooks that rotate and slide smoothly. The response was instant. Early adopters came from around the world. Cyclists who wanted a better space not just a storage hook. The SpaceRail became a talking point. People shared photos of their garages with pride. The idea of a dream bike space was born. From there everything accelerated. Retailers requested display systems Commercial fleets adopted the rails Pro riders and ambassadors started using them in workshops and training spaces Press coverage followed Then came the Dragons Den appearance on national television No one expected a bike storage brand to become a design and lifestyle brand. But that is exactly what happened. More than storage. Space. Stashed keeps expanding the ecosystem with products like Launch Pads, LodeStar modular grid walls, Freestand systems and new accessories that elevate how the room feels and works. The idea is simple.When your environment is organised you ride more. It is not bike storage.It is making space for your life. Built in Wales. Used worldwide. Every rail is assembled by hand in our Welsh workshop. Our team of engineers build, test and refine every product until it passes a level of scrutiny usually reserved for components that go on the bike, not around it. The numbers speak for themselves: Thousands of systems installed globally Setups in homes, garages, bike shops, hotels, bike parks and pro team facilities Winner of The Kings Award for Enterprise for Innovation Where we go next The ambition has always been bigger than storage. Stashed is building a world around organised space and the psychology of a clear head. When your bikes have a place, your mind does too. We are developing new systems, modular accessories and premium bike room solutions that turn any space into a place you want to spend time in. From a cluttered garage.To a global movement. Life stored better. More riding. Less faff.

When we released the Freestand system, the goal was simple. Create a completely modular bike storage frame that doesn’t need drilling, anchors, or a permanent place to live. The system was designed to move bikes off the walls and out of corners, into something that could evolve with the rider and the space around them. Pretty quickly after launching Freestand, we noticed something. People wanted mobility. Larger workshops, velodromes, and commercial fleets were shifting bikes around constantly. They wanted to push an entire line of bikes across the room in one motion. Not unhook. Not carry. Not shuttle bikes back and forth. Just move the lot. The Freestand WheelKit was one of the very first ideas that followed the original Freestand frame concept. It always felt like the logical next step. Why we built it During prototype testing, we worked with velodromes and commercial workshop environments. They used Freestand frames loaded with multiple bikes, then moved them around like rolling bike displays. Watching an entire fleet glide smoothly across polished flooring confirmed that this was the right direction. With that came a new challenge. When bikes sway or move on a rolling structure, you need to add protection where the bikes might make contact. That became the catalyst for our Launch Pad product. Both products now work together to keep bikes protected while rolling as a single unit. What’s included and why it matters Handlebar Width: 700 millimeters Diameter: 22 millimeters to fit standard MTB grips Height is adjustable and locks securely Includes comfortable MTB style lock grips The handlebar gives you stable steering and allows the user to guide a fully loaded system smoothly and confidently. It turns your bike storage into a highly maneuverable trolley. Castors High strength castors rated for a combined total load of 250 kilograms Two castors lock so the system stays put when needed Soft rubber wheels that are non marking Direct M10 thread switchover from the Freestand feet These wheels turn the Freestand into a mobile bike stand. No tools. No compromise. Just swap the feet for the castors and your Freestand becomes a rolling unit. Shock Absorbing Tape Three meters of 50 millimeter wide cushioning tape included This tape applies to the inside of the Freestand uprights to give extra protection and reduce contact between the frame and the bikes when rolling. Trolley Stopper Simple slide and turn wing bolt mechanism that fixes a SpaceRail trolley in place This started as a solution for SpaceRails used inside vans and boats. It stops the trolley from sliding freely in transit. Once we had the WheelKit prototypes, it became even more useful. Locking the trolley means no movement when rolling across flooring or positioning bikes in a tight area. Who is it for Velodromes and commercial fleet managers Riders with multiple bikes stored in a garage or workshop Anyone who needs to regularly move sets of bikes for cleaning, maintenance, or photography shoots The Freestand WheelKit is suitable for both the 4 bike and 8 bike Freestand systems. The payoff You can load bikes once, then move your entire setup anywhere in the room. No heavy lifting. No juggling handlebars. No accidental frame knocks. Just smooth movement. From an R and D point of view, the Freestand WheelKit represents what Stashed does best. We spot the friction. We find the simple solution. Then we build it to last. If mobility and modularity are part of your garage setup, this upgrade makes your Freestand unstoppable. PeteR and D Manager, Stashed Products

Premium gift ideas for cyclists. From SpaceRail bike storage to e-bike charging stations and freestanding setups. Smart gifts riders will actually use.

The LaunchPad was developed to solve a simple problem on the SpaceRail system: when bikes move, they can touch. Through extensive R and D, the team created a compact, height adjustable pad with 3 mm foam that protects frames automatically as bikes slide along the rail.
