Want To Service Your Own Bikes?
Maintaining bikes on the garage floor is frustrating - back aching, bike rolling away, tools scattered everywhere, grease on the car when you knock it.
A proper bike workshop setup makes maintenance actually enjoyable - bike at working height, tools to hand, proper space to work.
💡 Pro tip: Wall-mounted work stands are way better than floor stands for home workshops - don't take up floor space, can't be knocked over, and you can mount storage around them.

🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 What you need
- Bike work stand
- Pegboard or tool board
- Storage bins/shelves
- Drill and fixings
- Spirit level
🏗️ Setup steps
- Plan layout on paper first
- Mount work stand at waist/chest height
- Install tool storage within arm's reach
- Add parts bins for common spares
- Test with bike - adjust if awkward
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Work stand too high or low
- Tools too far to reach while working
- Not enough space around bike
- Poor lighting over work area
💡 Pro trick: Mount a magnetic strip on the wall near your work stand for holding small bolts and parts while you work - beats losing them on the garage floor.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🚲 Doing other garage organization? Combining bike workshop with general garage storage setup saves on the overall cost - I'm already there and set up.
Lighting important: Make sure there's good light over your work area. I can advise on mounting task lighting if your garage is dark.
Floor protection: Lay down an old carpet offcut or rubber mat under the work area - catches dropped parts and makes standing easier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a bike workshop setup?
I set up a dedicated area in your garage for bike maintenance - usually a wall-mounted work stand, tool board or pegboard for bike tools, parts storage, and cleaning supplies organized. Takes 2-3 hours to get it all mounted and set up properly.
Do I need to buy the equipment first?
Yes - you choose what you want (work stand type, storage solutions, tool organization). I just get it all mounted and organized efficiently. Happy to advise on what works well if you're not sure what to buy.
How much space does a bike workshop need?
Minimum 2 meters of wall space gives you work stand plus tool storage. Ideal is a whole garage wall corner - gives you room to work comfortably around the bike. I'll work with whatever space you've got available.
Can you mount a heavy bike work stand?
Yes - proper wall-mounted work stands need solid fixing (they hold 20kg+ when a bike's clamped in). I use appropriate fixings for your wall type so it's rock solid when you're wrenching on stuck bolts.
Will this work with my existing garage setup?
Usually yes - we find a section of wall that works, mount the stand and storage there. If you've already got shelving or car storage, we work around it. I'll assess your garage and suggest the best layout.
