How to build a cupboard to house 2 bicycles?

[Bec8]

I am trying to build a built in to house 2 road bikes, bike gear and coats etc.  It will be in the dining room so I want it to be hidden.  I am looking for it to be over 2 walls with the bikes being parallel to the wall and one above the other.  Any ideas would be great.  The dimensions of the bikes are: 190cm high 56 cm deep and 76 cm wide.

Hello @Bec8 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about bike storage.

Can I please just double check the bike measurements you've given? If I imagine it correctly the bike would be 190cm wide from tire end to tire end. The 56cm would be the width of the bike handlebar and the 76cm would be height of the bike. If I have assessed the measurements correctly, please let me know. 

On the condition that your wall is wide enough, the bicycles can be hung on the wall using NNEOBA Wall Mount Bike Rack Heavy-Duty Carbon Steel Bicycle Holder Black or have a bike stand in place like the 2 Bike Tree Stand Display. Once the bicycles are in position you can then build a custom cabinet around it using MDF as the cabinet walls. I propose building a folding accordion door so that you have full access to the bicycles. 

As for the accessories and bike gear, I propose building another cabinet next to the bike cabinet. A standard hinge door will suffice for this cabinet. My best advice is to make sure that you have enough space in the dining room to bring the bicycles down.

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Good Afternoon @Bec8 

I am having a bit of a problem with picturing your setup. Is there any chance of some photos of the area you want the cupboard to be built in and also of the bikes.

I have seen bikes stood vertically and their front tyres locked into place to save space. That way there wouldnt be a need to lift a bike off the floor. 

Another question, what is the floor covering? Can anything be bolted to it or drilled?

Will wait for some claification
