5 errores que la gente comete al guardar bicicletas

5 errores que la gente comete al guardar bicicletas

(y cómo evitarlos)

Organizar las bicicletas parece sencillo hasta que te das cuenta de que ocupan más espacio del previsto. Las ruedas se desvían, los manillares chocan entre sí y, sin darte cuenta, el espacio que se suponía que inspiraría la emoción previa a la ruta acaba pareciendo un enmarañado rompecabezas metálico. Un área para bicicletas mal organizada supone una pérdida de tiempo, daña las bicicletas y genera estrés innecesario.

Aquí te mostramos los errores más comunes que la gente comete al guardar bicicletas y cómo solucionarlos.

Error 1

Apilar o apoyar bicicletas unas contra otras

Apoyar las bicicletas unas contra otras puede parecer fácil en el momento, pero crea un efecto dominó cada vez que intentas separar la de atrás. Además, provoca arañazos en los cuadros, roces en el manillar y golpes en los componentes.

Cómo evitarlo:
Asigna a cada bicicleta su propio punto de sujeción. El almacenamiento vertical o separado protege los cuadros y evita los temidos enredos.

Error 2

Utilizar ganchos fijos que te obligan a una sola configuración

Los ganchos tradicionales suelen quedar fijos. Si compras otra bicicleta, cambias el tamaño de las ruedas o reorganizas el espacio, la instalación se vuelve incómoda o inutilizable. O te acostumbras a una mala separación o haces nuevos agujeros.

Cómo evitarlo:
Elige un sistema de almacenamiento que permita el movimiento y las modificaciones futuras. Un sistema flexible ahorra tiempo y mantiene tu configuración adaptable.

Error 3

Ignorando el espacio vertical

La mayoría de los garajes y cobertizos almacenan las bicicletas a nivel del suelo, ocupando espacio y creando desorden.

Cómo evitarlo:
Mira hacia arriba. Las paredes y el techo son un espacio valioso. El almacenamiento vertical te permite recuperar espacio en el suelo y tener las bicicletas listas para usar.

Error 4

Olvidando que el acceso importa

El almacenamiento no se trata solo de colocar las bicicletas ordenadamente, sino de asegurarse de que se puedan alcanzar. Colgarlas demasiado altas o apilarlas demasiadas dificulta el acceso.

Cómo evitarlo:
La bicicleta que más uses debe ser la más accesible. Diseña la distribución pensando en la accesibilidad, no solo en la estética.

Error 5

No planificar el espacio en su totalidad

Mucha gente compra ganchos o soportes antes de pensar en la habitación. El resultado es un conjunto de soluciones aleatorias que abarrotan el espacio en lugar de mejorarlo.

Cómo evitarlo:
Planifica antes de comprar. Mide el espacio. Ten en cuenta las puertas, la iluminación y el espacio para futuras bicicletas. Un buen sistema de almacenamiento resuelve múltiples necesidades, no solo una.

Error 6

Sin tener en cuenta el “ecosistema” del equipamiento ciclista

Aunque las bicicletas estén bien guardadas, el casco acaba en el suelo, las zapatillas se pierden y la bomba desaparece detrás de la caja de herramientas. El espacio vuelve a desordenarse porque el equipo no tiene un lugar fijo.

Cómo evitarlo:
Crear zonas:

  • zona de almacenamiento de bicicletas

  • Zona de equipamiento (cascos, zapatos, gafas)

  • Zona de limpieza y mantenimiento
    Un espacio ordenado no se trata solo de la colocación de las bicicletas. Se trata de hacer que todo el entorno sea funcional.

Error 7

Almacenar bicicletas sobre neumáticos blandos

Dejar una bicicleta parada durante largos periodos con baja presión en los neumáticos puede provocar:

  • puntos planos en los neumáticos

  • caucho agrietado (especialmente neumáticos de carretera)

  • llantas deformadas o tensionadas

Cómo evitarlo:
Infla los neumáticos a una presión moderada antes de guardarlos durante largos periodos de tiempo.Ayuda a mantenerlas y a que las ruedas permanezcan alineadas.

Error 8

Almacenar bicicletas sucias

El barro, la gravilla y la salinidad de las salpicaduras invernales pueden corroer los componentes, especialmente si se dejan a la intemperie durante semanas.

Cómo evitarlo:
Después de rodar en malas condiciones, enjuaga y seca la bicicleta rápidamente. Así, la transmisión, los rodamientos y los tornillos durarán mucho más.

Error 9

Utilizar el garaje como vertedero

Muchas zonas para bicicletas se convierten en vertederos improvisados ​​de latas de pintura, herramientas de jardín y todo aquello que no tiene un lugar fijo.

Cómo evitarlo:
Sé implacable. Solo las bicicletas y sus accesorios deben estar en el espacio para bicicletas. Menos desorden significa un acceso más fácil y menos componentes dañados.

Error 10

Ignorando la iluminación y el entorno

Puedes tener la instalación más organizada del mundo, pero si el espacio es oscuro, húmedo o está mal ventilado, resulta desagradable de usar. La humedad puede provocar corrosión en pernos y cadenas, y la iluminación tenue dificulta el mantenimiento.

Cómo evitarlo:
Piensa en la sensación que transmite la habitación, no solo en su funcionalidad.
Las mejoras sencillas marcan una gran diferencia:

  • Añade iluminación superior brillante o tiras LED a lo largo de los estantes.

  • Utilice un pequeño deshumidificador en invierno para reducir la humedad

  • Mantén el flujo de aire con un ventilador pequeño o una rejilla de ventilación ligeramente abierta.

Un espacio bien iluminado y seco protege tus bicicletas y te hace sentir a gusto en la habitación.

Consejo adicional

Reduzca el desorden visual.
Utilice tonos de color uniformes para los contenedores de basura, guarde las herramientas fuera de la vista y evite el embalaje aleatorio para mantener un ambiente tranquilo e inspirador.

Reflexión final

El almacenamiento de bicicletas no se trata solo de guardarlas en algún sitio.
Se trata de crear un espacio que favorezca tu vida como jinete.

Cuando tu sistema de almacenamiento funciona correctamente, montas más en bicicleta. Dedicas menos tiempo a desenredar el manillar y más tiempo a hacer lo que te gusta.

Gifts Your Cycling Friends Really Want
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.

The Story Behind Stashed Products

The Story Behind Stashed Products
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.

Introducing the Freestand Wheel Kit
November 2025
Introducing the Freestand Wheel Kit
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
