New Year, New Garage 🚲

There’s something about the start of a new year that makes us want to reset. Fresh goals, fresh routines… and for many of us, a fresh space. If your garage has slowly become a dumping ground for bikes, tools, half-used gear and good intentions, consider this your sign: it’s time for a New Year, New Garage.

Whether you’re riding more in 2026, upgrading your setup, or simply seeking a more functional space, a well-organised garage can make a bigger difference than you think.

 

Why Your Garage Deserves a Reset

Your garage isn’t just a place to store things — it’s often where rides start and finish. But when bikes are leaning against walls or blocking access to everything else, it can quickly become frustrating.

A tidy garage means:

• Less time untangling bikes and more time riding
• Easier access to your gear when you need it
• Better protection for your bikes and equipment
• A space that actually feels good to walk into

And let’s be honest — starting the year with a clutter-free space just hits different.

 

Step 1: Clear it Out (Yes, all of it!)

Before you can organise, you need to see what you’re working with. Pull everything out, sort it into keep / donate / toss piles, and be ruthless. If it hasn’t been used in years and doesn’t spark any riding joy, it might be time to let it go.

 

Step 2: Store Bikes Vertically to Free Up Space

Vertical bike storage allows you to:

• Store more bikes in less space
• Keep walkways clear
• Protect frames and components from damage
• Create a cleaner, more intentional setup

With Steadyrack bike racks, bikes can be loaded and unloaded easily, even in tight garages or shared spaces. No heavy lifting. No awkward manoeuvring. Just roll in, pivot, and you’re done.

 

Step 3: Make It Work For Your Riding Style

Not all garages — or riders — are the same. Your storage setup should reflect how you actually ride.

Ask yourself:

• Do you need quick daily access or long-term storage?
• Are multiple bikes being used by the whole household?
• Do you switch between tyre sizes or bike types?

 

Step 4: Don’t Forget The Gear

Helmets, shoes, locks and accessories all deserve a place too.

Keeping gear off the floor:

• Reduces clutter
• Prevents damage
• Makes pre-ride prep quicker and easier

Small storage upgrades can have a big impact when everything has a clear home.

Step 5: Set The Tone For The Year Ahead

A New Year, New Garage isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about removing friction from your routine. When your space works with you, getting out for a ride feels effortless.

More riding. Less mess. Fewer excuses.

 

If 2026 is the year you ride more, stay organised, and finally take control of your space, it all starts in the garage.

Here’s to a fresh start, a tidy setup, and plenty of rides ahead.
