IF I shared my garage I think you would all need a therapist.

RT, if you remove the front wheel of your bikes and hang the bikes by the toptube on the side walls it would take up less space and not a PITA to get down as opposed to ceiling hung.

No way in hell I can store bikes in my garage - that's where the cars are.

Bikes are stored in my living room using a similar system as stb222 posted. Gladiator slat board at two levels and hooks. Mtn bikes are typically stored by the fork axles (main reason I'm a fan of QR thru-axles). I live alone, so I don't have to care about what anyone thinks about bikes in the living room.
 
I decided to bite the bullet and get one of the Stashed ceiling mount racks. It's definitely very nice. As for worth the money...it depends. I use my 22x22 garage for a lot of different things and I really value floor space and also the ability to easily move things depending on what I'm working on. From this standpoint, yes, it's worth it to me but if I had extra space I'd definitely just get one of the simpler/cheaper options. Longer term I need to get rid of most of this scrap material but this is what it looks like currently with the 5 bike setup.

How much did that setup end up costing?

~$500. It's a couple of aluminum extrusions, some plastic parts and some fasteners. Everything is really well made and operates very smoothly but the price is still pretty hard to stomach.

I was considering this as well but price was keeping me from pulling the trigger. Saw that 1up has a similar system but maybe not as well made. Think I may give it a try.

This setup is hard to beat. Hrs to fit as many bikes in this small foot print otherwise.
