Maybe we can start a new TV show and call it "Garage Makeover." I bet it would be popular! We can nominate you to be the pilot show!
Actually, given the number of bikes and things he has in his garage, I don't think it looks that bad. There are only so many ways to store that many bikes. And at least he has decent clearance around the car.

You're too kind, but it is a tight fit. Our home is fairly large, but the garage architect must have been on vacation when the house was designed. It's bizarrely small for a home of this size, but the majority of the home was built in the '60s, so I guess the garage wasn't a priority. Tthen again, weren't cars huge back then?!
Let me say it again: if MTV wants to sign me up for a garage equivalent of "Cribs"--I'm there!

I'd have two things showing in that garage. The car and the bikes. All other junk/stuff would be out of sight, behind a partition, in cabinets or basement. If there's just car and bikes the mind can grasp the situation and it you get a quantum leap in neatness. As soon as random junk is added the distinction blurs and everything looks [bad adjective here].

I guess the architect didn't anticipate having 10 bikes in the garage in addition to other normal items that end up there.

Taken under advisement. If I'm able to make that change, I will certainly post it here. Give me some time--maybe a few years? With the three kids, a small basement, and a major cycling fetish, I can't get rid of too much in there and have no other spots to put things.
Believe it or not, all the bikes but two get ridden. Those two should probably go, but they have sentimental value and were ridden heavily back in the day. But they're just two bikes.

I hear ya buddy. The kids and family thing: makes our garage fantasies evaporate.
FWIW, Unlike the trendy ones meant for residential use these "industrial" steel cabinets can hide lots of stuff: they're pretty cheap and definitely workable. I got some from Global Industrial.com
