Smart cycle storage solutions sought

generate lift and create floating bike podsA floating inflatable pod might be an ingenious solution for city bike storage, but what about when those bikes arrive home?

In my household we have two mountain bikes and a child's bike. They squeeze into our L-shaped backyard in which - if standing with your arms outstretched - you can touch both the house wall and the fence.

The bikes contend with a small sandpit, tomato plants, a rose bush, various waste bins and ... there is no room in the house (I promise - there are three of us in a one-bedroom house as it is).

So we simply put the bikes against the backyard walls and work our way around them.

Surely, there are better solutions out there for home cycle storage. Where do you put your bike?
