Abstract: A system for storing bicycles includes an elongate supporting member and carriages. Each carriage has a body supported on and that can travel along the supporting member and a carrier component that extends downwardly from the body, suspending a bicycle. The carrier component rotates with respect to the body about an approximately vertical carrier axis. The carrying component moves vertically between a lower free position and an upper braking position. In the free position, the carrying component can rotate about the carrier axis and the body can travel along the supporting member. The braking position inhibits carrier rotation or body travel. Each carriage has a spring urging the carrying component towards the braking position, and against which the carrying component can be displaced to the free position by weight on the carrying component. The connection between the carrying component and the body allows tilting of the carrier axis.
