Bottom line
The Saris Cycle Glide is a ceiling-mounted bike storage system that holds bikes by the wheels on adjustable tracks. The base rack supports up to four 50lb bikes, and is expandable to fit six. The Cycle Glide can be adjusted to fit small kids' bikes, wheelbases up to 56", and 2.5" tires. Owners and the tester praise the practical design, but installation proves time-consuming for some, and loading and removing heavier bikes is physically demanding. Some owners also say the rack fails, causing bikes to drop. Nonetheless, most owners consider the "cleverly designed" Saris Cycle Glide a practical storage solution and a worthwhile investment.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
