Included in Lifehacker's Top Ten IKEA mods, we wanted to share this ingenious storage solution for multiple bikes in a small space.
Taken from IkeaHacker, Michael constructed this bike rack using just a few simple pieces of hardware from Ikea: a Stolmen post, a couple of brackets, and four hooks.
Building the rack works as follows:
1. Cut two pieces of the square pipe; choose the length depending on the design of your bike frame.
2. Drill 3 holes into the pieces of square pipes.
3. Screw a hook on each end of the pipe; screw the pipe to the bracket.
4. Now you can mount the stolmen post and adjust the two brackets on it.
5. Finally glue some of the rubber foam to the hooks to not scratch the bike frame.
Total cost? Just over $40; and according to Michael, "this should just take you like ½ an hour."

I totally made this after seeing the original from 2008 i only had a single bike, but i added hooks for helmets and tools with the addition of a lengthened bar for the bottom to hold my snowboard. the sky is the limit as the modularity of this design allows for amazing options. build it and you will not be disappointed!!!
