My house was a mess.

So I decided to build a bike storage hub.

The result - a place to store bike and bike accessories that looks right

First, Screw 2" by 4" pieces in the bottom, top and front on one ramp side.

Second, Screw in the other ramp side

Third, Screw remaining 2" by 4" at regular 6"-8" intervals

Fourth, starting in the front, drill in the 1/4" plywood piece in the sides of the 2" by 4" pieces.

Fifth, work up to the top of the ramp, pressing the plywood to maintain its curvature

Insert hook into a stud in the wall and use ramp to lift bike on the hook

Store bike accessories (i.e. helmet, bike pump, bike lock) into the storage space under the ramp
