Since Chris Brigham of Knife & Saw debuted his smart and simple wood Bike Shelf last year, we've noticed lots of similar styles popping up on Etsy and other handmade sites. Most of them are crafted from a basic wood box with a groove to catch the bike frame and a ledge for additional storage.
- Bike Shelf by Elevate Storage: Hand-crafted from birch and cedar (as opposed to the pricier and prettier walnut and ash of the Knife & Saw version), this wall-mounted wooden shelf sells for $60 and ships from San Antonio, Texas.
- Handmade Bike Shelf by UrbanCityBikeShelves: Made from solid maplewood, cherrywood, or walnut, this shelf sells for $139 and ships from Queens, New York.
- Knife and Saw Bike Shelf: This is the first bike shelf we discovered. Crafted by graphic designer Chris Brigham, the clean-lined design is made from ash or walnut and sells for $270 - $300.
- Cantilver and Press Reclaimed Wood Wall-Mounted Bike Rack: Designed from reclaimed wood, this $85 rack doesn't come with a shelf — instead, it's an exercise in transforming waste material into functional art. Ships out of Vancouver, BC.
- Bike Box by Rydawell: Made in Seattle, this Padauk wood shelf costs $200 and includes two built-in bookends crafted from chain rings.

they're all mens bikes. how about something for a beach cruiser or a womans bike that doesnt have a perfectly horizontal bar.
sara.b, that was my first thought, too :)
catiaelizabeth and sara.b., if you try this link you'll find a list of other wall-mounted rack options for both men's and women's bikes.
By the way, sara.b, there are plenty of women out there who ride "men's" bikes. The only reason to ride a "woman's"bike is that the lower bar works better with skirts.
Agree with sara.b and catiaelizabeth, especially as someone who rarely wears skirts and certainly not while biking. I ride a "womens" bike because there aren't any "mens" bikes with seats that adjust low enough for me.
These are amazing and I can't wait to attempt to make one of my own! Thank you for sharing.
Also, @HernandoHouse: men and women both ride beach cruisers, and men and women both ride fixies. There are female fixed gear bikes as seen in these pictures with smaller frame sizes that would surely fit you.
My problem is, how do I keep the wall behind the bike as spotless as those in the pictures?
Oh man, I was wanting to know how to make a bike shelf. Anyone know of any sites that have instruction for making your own?
I live on the third floor of an apartment building w/ an outdoor metal spiral staircase, followed by a narrow indoor stairwell. The one time I did try to carry my bike up to my apartment, I nearly killed myself. What I'd really like is a pulley system that I could attach to my balcony & winch the damned thing up to the outside of the porch railing...
Nice, but they only seem to work for perfectly spotless, shiny, never-used bikes…
Mine isn't nearly as refined, but for 2-3 hours of work (total), I like the results.
