I've a garage but once the car, bike, freezer, tools etc are in it it's pretty full

I need to store 2 adult bikes (and eventually 1 childs).

At the moment I'm storing 2 on one of these
https://i1.adis.ws/i/washford/113161?$pm_large$

It's ok, but like the reviews on halfords say the bars are very wide apart.

I'm thinking of moving to using 1 of these
https://i1.adis.ws/i/washford/952317?$pm_large$

Anyone used one?

Is it worth considering a pedal mount?

I've no floor space left, so wall mounting is a must, the roof isn't high enough to consider hanging from the roof.

What are people using?

I've got the first one too. My sister gave it to me when she found it in the garage of her new house and didn't want it.
I don't like it much either. I'm thinking of mounting a post just below the ceiling that I can just hook the saddle over, and then another one to bungee the handle bars up.

My partner made a bike rack out of some lengths of copper pipe welded together. I was a bit dubious at first but it does hold 4 adult bikes.

Got any spare drop bars kicking about? (I seem to have more sets than I own bikes).

Google image search for handlebar bike rack.

I like that idea, upcycling spare parts, and the bar tape will cushion the frame too. Unfortunately, most of our bikes are mountain bikes, so the only spare handlebars we have are straight.
