There are a couple of TV's mounted on the wall that are not pictured. I have since upgraded to a 30 inch pedestal fan from Tractor Supply Co. The checkerboard base has furniture mover discs under it so you can slide it around the room if needed.

I cut the base out of a section of particle board, then covered it with checkered squares I got from Home Depot.

I would post a pic but wifey converted it into a PlayStation Cave. Nothing but PS1, PS2's PS3's, bookshelves of games & every widget that can be conntected to the dang thing + some odd looking chair with speakers in the headrest with dials & gizmos on the side with a number of ports for plugging in wires. Sad...I've had to live without a Pain Cave for years. Wait...I hate pain...hmmm, no wonder I didn't mind the conversion to a PS Cave!

Not one of those is a true pain cave.
A real pain cave should be in a s**t tip of a garage with your turbo trainer and bike squeezed in amongst boxes of junk, tools and dust. With you laptop/screen/old tv precariously balanced on any available flat (or slightly slopping) surface available. Flat screen TV's are an absolute no no, all pain cave TV's should be house hold rejects that are the old tube version purchase pre 2000, none-HD, none-digital, and most likely none-working!
Honestly, some of you lot train in pure 5 star luxury ;-)
I would take a photo of my pain cave but it is so devoid of light that the flash on my camera wouldn't be able to generate enough light to be able to capture the picture.

the thing on the left where my ipod is sitting on is a tent.
The tv is indeed pre 2000.
I train around the family junk! In the basement, you can't see it but on the back of where I took that pictur there's a lot of dust and crap where I do all my bike mechanic.

Yes, it's an eMotion Roller setup with a Kreitler Fork Stand. I rarely use the rollers any more as I can't be bothered having to keep the level of concentration it requires while trying to watch TV shows and movies on the laptop while I ride. Nice to have though when I want to ride them as is. I feel like I get the same workout as a trainer, but without the hassle of setup, and have the option of rollers too.
A simple box fan suspended from the garage ceiling with bungee cords that I hang up horizontally after my sessions so no one headbutts it walking through the garage (my wife did this when I first set this up and she wanted to kill me).
I am wedged between the Power Wheels vehicles and directly below bikes hanging from the ceiling. Works for me!

Yes it is an Aeolus, it's a 59 although it fits more like a 57 I think, and it has 700c tires. Also have a Klein Quantum road bike. I love the Klein bikes, they look great! Right now the Aeolus is just a trainer bike, how bad do you want one??? ;-)

I sold my house this past spring. Here's my old set up. I miss it. The elliptical stayed with the house and the treadmill went to a neighbor.
We just moved into our new, and much smaller, place this month. The development has a nice gym with a bunch of treadmills, weight machines and other cardio stuff.
I'll need to do my indoor bike training (trainer road) in the garage. It's not all set up yet, but, as the picture shows, at least I've got the bikes put away. The cyclops trainer is in the bottom left corner of the picture waiting for me to finish this project. The TV is also waiting for me on the dining room floor.
The bike on the bottom left is my wife's 1987 beach cruiser. I think it weighs 50 pounds.

He may just have beat you there.
How could we possibly criticise this? Looks perfect to to me. I would actually describe this as a "Kona acclimatisation chamber" with the lack of a fan and being wedge up next to that boiler unit. I shudder to think what kind of temperature it could get up to down there. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Rappstar himself called you up to train in there in preparation for Kona. :0)

I appreciate the abundance of natural light, but we had to sell the dinner table to make this happen... The setup was pretty visible from the street so we built up a bit of a following from the local community - I think us sweating it out looked pretty odd in the middle of summer (Australia get pretty warm).

You shouldn't let a girlfriend have any say on a bike build for her. If she loves you she'll love the bike. If it's all about the bike, then you're just a supplier. The same is true of engagement rings.

There's a TV/DVD player in the corner that you can't see that the bikes are facing. Before winter this year I'm going to finish the drywall, and install some nice laminate flooring to make it more complete.

And here is mine:
I know, I know, I still could use some more clutter in the mix. Once ski season starts, the winter jackets enter the mix and clutter the place up nicely. If you're wondering, the reason the ski jackets are stuck in this room is that the boiler (right behind me while I take the picture) relentlessly pumps out 95 degree heat into the pain cave.

My "pain cave" consists of a rain jacket and the same roads I ride on nice days. I NEVER forget eye protection with all the crud coming off the road.
Just this morning I woke at 5am to ride 1/2 hour to the ferry, then met a buddy for a pre-work ride. We could see a rain shower coming, so nipped into a cafe mid ride instead of waiting till after the ride. Then shower and into work by 9am. Great way to start the day. My flat screen view allowed me to watch the sunrise over the harbour! Sweeeeet.

I took a day off work yesterday. It wasn't to do a massive training day or spend time with the family. No, I spent 10 hours building four 4' x4' drop ceiling shelves in my new garage and moving all our crap off the floor so that I could create a simple 4' x 6' space for my trainer.
The next steps are to coat the concrete floor with some kind of epoxy and hook up the extra TV. I'll post pictures when It's done. I'm hoping it's ready by the time my overtrained knee heals.

Good eye! I never noticed that before !
Saw you were on the start list for Pain in the Alleghenies. I assume you we're one of the smart ones that stayed home, warm and dry. 46 and raining makes for a long day. Add the fatigue from Cedar Point full just before it and it adds a spectacular blow up at around mile 9 of the run ....sat in my car for 45 minutes afterwards to get warm. Great race otherwise, just late September is a crap shoot for weather.

Here is mine. We had a small 10x12 room in the basement I could takeover for my 'pain cave'. I am afraid it scores pretty low on the "scary scale" :)
Lots of room for core workouts when I push the bench a bit to the side.
From the other corner...
Dual screen computrainer setup... One for data, the other for video (real course or DVD)
Are you organized? 'cause I am... :) I reassure you, no signs anywhere else in my house about IM or triathlon... that stuff stays in the gym :)
Lots of riding there in the winter, 4 hours trainer ride are not uncommon... so I actually enjoy the bright colors on the wall in cold and dark Sunday morning in the winter :)

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [cjdavids]

Thanks for your concern. We survived it... a lot of damage to backyard. Pier, railings, decking, glass, wave runner, lifts are either destroyed or gone. The house held up well... minor flooding in basement but the CAVE is intact :) Many of my friends had major flood damage secondary to the storm surge. My family feels very fortunate to have made it through with our health and our house relatively intact. We still have no power, but have been staying in a hotel (thankful to find one). I will post pics when I get access to my computer.
Again... thanks for all the well wishes from the ST crowd. BTW... I took my CT to the hotel :)

Good to hear the Cave is intact! (and that your family is well, too!)
With the dramatic changes to the coastline, it's fortunate that you sustained "relatively" minor damage to your property.
Would be interested in seeing the pics when you have a chance...although it's impossible for most of us who aren't right there to fully appreciate the full effects of Sandy, but the photos I've seen so far are mind-boggling.

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [magmd]
[ In reply to ]
That cement gets pretty cold in the winter. The flooring is that cheap indoor-outdoor carpet from Home Depot. They come in 12 foot widths. I want a couple things to finish it off. A couple of rubber mats for the bike and the treadmill, another large LCD and some paint for the wall. No need to go outdoors during the winter.

Pics of the cave Post Sandy... The house is mostly OK, basement had some water. Most, if not all of the backyard will likely not be covered by insurance. Sucks... but many many are suffering much worse. We finally got power back this Friday.

Glad you're ok and the house is good as well - good that you have insurance so you can make it outdoor man-cave/patio #2 on the rebuild!
My folks were in Long Island as well but they just lost power for 14 days (!) They don't have the lovely ocean view you have, though.
Appreciate the pics and the followup - hard to think about ST with stuff like that!

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [TNFeDad]
[ In reply to ]
Here's mine. Couple of things I did:
I train pretty much exclusively in ERG mode and let the TV distract me.
- TV is on an articulating mount so that I can have it directly in front of either the treadmill or the Computrainer.
- I positioned my TV low so that I don't get neck pain when riding
- I have another family section of the basement where the kid's TV, PS3 and Verizon set-top box live.
- I ran an extra HDMI cable from the PS3 to my TV. This gives me access to watch DVD's, Netflix and Amazon Prime from the PS3. I have to reach behind the PS3 and swap the HDMI cable when I ride/run but that takes 2 seconds.
- I ran an extra Component Video Cable to my TV from the Verizon set-top box. So the Verizon box has component video to my TV and HDMI to the kid's TV. Then I got a remote extender to control the Verizon set-top box (I don't have line of site). With this I can watch live TV and watch recorded shows from the whole house DVR.
- My laptop has an HDMI out which is plugged into my TV so I can also watch streaming from my laptop.

Damn for some reason they must flip in tiny pics. But they show up the right way on the my iPhone and iPad.
I wonder why?
Set the theater room up for 7.1 but after listening to some of the new all in one sound bars that go in the front of the room I wonder if I should have just did that. The room is only 14x20. Going to shake the house from its foundation. lol we are going with a interlocking vinyl plank flooring that looks like wood. It is supposed to me very durable to kids and takes very well to mopping :0). Plus should thee be a flood you can lift it up and dry it off then reinstall. But it better not flood we just spent a whole bunch of $$$$$ on French drains , sump pumps and sealers on the actual basement walls and floors. I incorporated a floor drains and piping that connect to the sump in each of the four corners of the house for easy cleaning.

Buy a super long headphone cord and use any comfortable set of headphones. Easier than keeping wireless charged, plus they tend to be a little clunky and expensive. The ones that come with ipod work well for me. Some nice noice cancelling full enclosure headphones would be nice, though.

The Money family setup. Currently in medical school so my computer sits on the workbench, playing board review videos or lectures as I grind out the miles. Was a bit more cave-like before the Mrs. "requested" the padded flooring for her core workouts.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot and check out their garage storage section. They both have wall mounted products with many different attachable hooks for hanging various things. The "Bar" has multiple holes so that you can affix it into the studs. The hook can then be located anywhere on the bar.
I actually have my trailer mount bike rack hanging off the wall on one of those hooks in the garage right now.

I plan to put my bike trainer on the black mat in front of the tool chest when I start riding again. The Laptop and TV will go on the tool chest too.

The before picture is on the bottom of my post on page 4 of this thread. I wanted everything off the floor in my garage. That meant that I needed to hang everything from the ceiling or the walls.
Once I got everything off the floor, I laid down the epoxy paint and the 4' x 20' x 1/4" rubber gym mat (found at Lowes.com). The cars take up everything that isn't covered by the mat.
I've gone down from having an entire basement as my home workout space to having a 4 foot wide strip. The treadmill is now over at our development's community house. Downsizing, huh?!

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [Tory1340]

mine is very modest, not as cool as most setup presented here. But I'm working on it
In the picture:
- Treadmill
- Elite roller
- Concept 2 D rower
missing in the picture
- laptop computer
- TACX flow (being repair)
To do list:
- Review the lightning. It's very dark at the moment
- Add power outlet, only one plug at the moment
- Add a thermostat. I need to be able to change the temperature in this damn room!
- Move all the stuff so my flow can fit at all time.
- Put something on the floor, some kind of rubber (puzzle shape?)
- Wall mount bike stand (front wheel). Maybe in another room...
- Maybe flip the treadmill the other side, so I can watch something on the computer while running. Not sure yet
- put some stuff on the wall.
- something to let the cloth dry....
- make some kind of casing/hook for tire and or tires. I have quite a few of them.
etc...
Many plans, lots of space... only take time. I can use it as is; so at least I can use it now.

The current 8 year old t.v. and 5.1 surround will have to do. All I really need in the mancave is to hook up a stand to run wires through for computrainer head unit and a small Lcd (32"-38?") to hook up the CT to. I made a platform for the CT so I can run all the wires underneath and not have them stepped on or tugged at by me or the kids. I also want to get another set of rollers as I really dont want to haul the ones at work back and forth. And a dreadmill for the icey / rainy day run I am to lazy to drive to the gym to do runs :0)

Then heated it up the the box and pressed that shape into the back side of the speed box.
After that I drilled two slots on both sides to put Velcro strips through to secure.
Then I ground down the metal part that rest on the chain stays to form as best as I could get it. Then stuck some fuzzy Velcro stuff on the bottom of that as a scratch buffer.
Went to lowes and got some of the flatblack plastic fusion paint and masked out the Bonteager B to look like a Blue B in gloss. Almost looks like a professional job.0)
When I heated and pressed my mold into it it up it actually gave it a bit of a torridial shape in it but squeezed it smaller in Front so a bit less room then when I started but not much less.

This was my pain cave/bedroom/apartment when I started triathlon a few years ago right out of college when I lived in Santa Barbara. I pretty much lived in the cubicle at work & this room. Yes, I rode inside while living in one of the best cycling cities in the US...it was more efficient due to my job/time schedule ;)

Saw a bike rack on the Internet and I had a piece of plywood laying around and some time today. So.... I cut , glued ,screwed and painted and this is what I came out with. Think it needs another coat of paint and some felt glued on the inside. Will make a few more but with 1/2 " stainable oak plywood.

Is that your onsies in the background? Funny thing after I built it my wife said why did you build that? I said OH..OH... Lol she bought me the custom one on the internet. It is better wood and built better also but is not as big so you cant fit anything inside.
LOL... the two kids on the right are mine. The older one is my niece. The ONESIE is my daughter's... I tried it on, but it is just a little too small :)

Today's pain cave that's one hell of a souped up steel bike. the fork is a take-off from a cervelo? did you swap out from the stock fork purely for the better braking of a short-reach caliper instead of a long-reach caliper, or was there some nerve damage to avoid?
Re: Let see your Pain Cave [tegra]

It was briefly the wife's bike for bike races. Fork is kind of a big aero deal and 200lbs lighter than the steel fork.
It is going to be going back to a steel fork though any day now and the 3T will be for sale.

Thanks. Growing up, my neighbors for a time were from Iowa, and they had these out in the trash one day (not sure how they came to possess them). My dad, being a runner, scooped them up. I think there were a few more at one point, but I'm glad I could get a little piece of a historical race.

It's in the spare room of my apartment in Songdo (in Incheon, South Korea), about 20 minutes from the main airport and 40 minutes from Seoul. The whole area- which basically is like a little city- was built on reclaimed land from the Yellow Sea over just the last 8 years or so. I've got a pretty cool view of the Yellow Sea, a few islands, and some brand new buildings from my pain "cave" window.

now you just need one of these to guard your little one from the trainer. Crude, but works like a charm. Not fun to hear a scream and realize your child has their finger stuck between the chainring and the chain.

Thanks. It was a lot of work, but so worth it in the end. Our place isn't that big, and I can't imagine being here now and not having the extra space. I originally started the project when we found out we were expecting. It's a great feeling to see our little girl having so much fun in a space that I created (she has a big play area that isn't seen in the picture).

PSA for anyone whose PC may be a long way from their trainer ANT+ stick. I picked up a set of USB to RJ45 dongles off Monoprice for about $10. I have about 50' of Cat5 cable (in the wall/ceiling) between my bike and the PC, and this setup is working perfectly. I used to have a couple of USB extensions linked together that I would pull out near the bike when it was time to ride, but the performance was never that great.

I've never had much problem with long trainer rides so long as I've got enough small sets to keep my mind occupied. I've played with the idea of a wall mounted flatscreen and a computrainer setup but never seem to get around to it.
Yellow fan is a ProStandard
I had my eye on one of those industrial liquid cooled fans, but returned to reality when I realized it would probably destroy the inside of my house.

It's looks like some model of Q Standard drum fan. They will run you a between $125-$250 but will blow your hair back.

1 1/2" Electrical conduit. It can be found at any Hardware store. Then just get T junctions or 90 degree elbows..
For our dual set up we have Conduit running from each load generator. They come together in a T junction, then run in another conduit to the stand, there we use a vertical piece (two wires going up, two wires going down, so it is a little crowded). Tie it into another T junction (the one you see pictured, and terminate the wires at the controller..
Total cost of all conduit and boxes was under $20.
The support for the hole thing is the rigidity of the pipe, along with the bracket you see in the picture holding it to the stand.

Perfect!! It's really funny, because I have the EXACT SAME wooden TV table in my workout room. My wife gave me grief because I stole one from our set of four. Anyway, I've been trying to come up with a cheap/easy way of doing what you did for over a year. Currently, I just lay the yellow computer down on the wooden table. That sucks, because half of my rides it ends up falling on the floor... Thanks for your help!!!

If you suffer you should recognize this screen. Not the greatest pic of my setup.
I prefer to ride in the dark for some reason. I switch off the lights in the garage so I only see the screen.
There is nothingon the ground, some bikes/surfboards on the walls. I have one fan blowing on me and surround sound.
It really has a cave feel to it. My special place, to suffer.

I don't know if the model I have is that same one or not but it is a 24ish inch asus with hdmi and internal speakers. Been using it to setup the pc that will be dedicated to trainer road and with the pc and the monitor maxed it really is not loud.
For me it will just be displaying trainer road and a 32" tv will be used for entertainment (off the same pc) so just curious your experience with the volume level on it.

I've got 5 or 6 pieces of the stall mat.. and I stupidly like to drop my clean laundry on it all the time so I go pick up a shirt and it smells like rubber, gross.

The monitors both have internal speakers, they aren't very loud. The trainerroad monitor is just loud enough for me to hear the beeps when an interval counts down. For the other monitor I use a bluetooth wireless transmitter and jaybird headphones.

Since the back wheel is off the ground a bit from being in the trainer, it helps level out the bike so it doesn't feel like you're riding downhill the whole time. Take a bit of weight off the hands/arms.

They're just a bit high for my liking. Right now I haven't decided if I'm going to lower them or not. The monitors are screwed into the wall so I'll avoid moving them unless I start getting neck pain. I figure this way it couldn't hurt for muscle memory holding my head in a better aero position...

Set this up under my carport. The main idea of this was to be able to jack up the heat in there. Winters are long and cold so those early southern races could get tough without any training in some heat. Its a stand a lot building, fully sealed up. Put a full surround stereo system in it and looking forward to watching game 6 in there.

Just to balance to depressing pain cave images... Here's at least the view from the behind the house. That's the Mississippi river at one of the widest sections, about a 3/4 mile across. Were about 110' up on the bluff. I haven't done an real open water swim in it yet. IF I won hte lottery I'd build a 25M lap pool and a small building next to it with a training studio.

Trying to figure out a way to integrate the two. Either that or ditch the LCD use projectors only.

Here's our setup. Basically, we started with a NEC VT650 mounted on the ceiling and projecting length-wise down the room. That allowed 4 CompuTrainers side-by-side. The resultant image was 12 feet wide and 8 feet tall, completely filling the far wall. We retained this projector for football games and (now) allowing us to project course maps and profiles while riding course videos that are projected on the adjacent long wall (see below).
To expand to 5 CompuTrainers, we had to rotate 90 degrees. I installed two NEC VT670 projectors ($100 each on eBay) on the ceiling, taking a lot of measurements and angles so that the images would match and create one large image.
Here's the resultant view from the rider's perspective.
By making the computer background black, you can't tell where the windows overlap, creating a big screen feel. The image above is about 16 feet wide and 7 feet tall, and is about 6 feet in front of the riders. The rider's head(s) don't impede the image or create a shadow unless they sit bolt upright (and we have several 6'5" riders) because the projectors are mounted pretty tight against the ceiling and throw the image over the top of the riders (we measured a LOT). The "seam" where the images meet in the middle is almost invisible and needs a little tweaking, but it's darn close. Notice we're running PerfPRO Studio and a Sufferfest video in the image above. Drew at PerfPRO is really supportive and has been most helpful in making this possible, not to mention that his software is awesome.
One interesting thing we discovered when riding Real Course Videos is the ability to project the course map and profile on the right-hand wall (the original projector throwing the image length-wise down the room, as seen in the picture above with the St. Croix 70.3 map displayed), while the Real Course Video plays in front of the riders. That way, riders can lift their finger into the image and point out where we "are" on the map in relation to the Real Course Video. That really help get the whole course and layout into your head....
We run two sessions each Tuesday and Thursday, and one session on Saturday and Sunday morning. We use SignupGenius (free) for online signup (http://www.signupgenius.com/...AB29A64-computrainer) which allows me to be downstairs and ride and not answer the phone or text (any slots open?). No charge to anyone because Bev and I get the benefit of friends encouraging us to ride and train hard and we all get better.

Yes, my daughter helped me paint it on the wall. It's just some motivation to help me get through the cold Northern Indiana months on my trainer. The framed items were picked up at races mostly and framed (cheaply) at Michael's.

No, a dungeon it's not, but there's no better name for our workout area than a "Pain Cave". Whether it's long rides on the trainer, 500lb deadlifts, or tournament worthy ippon seoi nage throws, this is where pain happens.
Not sure how it worked out, but the ventilation is all hiding in this pic. When I long ride the trainer, the bench comes out of the squat rack, the bike goes in, and two Vornado floor fans keep me cool and dry. A pedestal fan blows over the treadmill to keep it cool as well. I'm not much of a photographer, so it looks pretty cramped, but it's not really: 16ft x 16ft, with 10x16ft open area. Another TV coming soon (Yay Cyber Monday deals!) to put in front of the treadmill. My wife didn't appreciate the partially obstructed view of the TV in the squat rack from the treadmill, ended up getting a 24" Smart TV for free, should be here next week. 1300lbs of weights, heavy bag, treadmill, cycle trainer, grappling dummy, bench, and squat rack. The Concept 2 Rower is outside for now. There's nothing functional or productive that happens at a gym besides swimming that I can't do here.

The Concept 2 Rower is outside for now. There's nothing functional or productive that happens at a gym besides swimming that I can't do here.

The latest addition, the wife had a computer and monitor that she was no longer using, so I mounted the monitor on the reading rack of the treadmill for things like Hulu, YouTube, etc...

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [uclamutt]

Thanks for the kind words. I feel very fortunate to have a nice place to work out. My prior pain cave was a small section of unfinished basement (complete with concrete floor and walls). I hit it in there for 7 years before we finally moved on. When we sold the house, it failed the Radon test...ugh. Right then I made the decision that my next pain cave would be a lot more comfortable (and less dangerous)...In my humble opinion, life is WAY to short to spend that much time in a radon-infested hell hole. And the cool part about it is that I actually enjoy getting in there for a workout.

Here's my pain cave/office. Switching from work to training mode simply involves turning a computer monitor. The BAF (big ass fan) was an awesome upgrade.
Wish I had a pic of my real pain cave from university. I could touch all four walls and the ceiling with my palm while on the bike. One of the walls had a ton of long nails protruding through. During hard intervals, it gave the illusion of closing in on me, like some hellish trap.

When in use, I place a laptop on the shelving unit. You can see the space where I pushed aside the Hess trucks and other various toys. My kids have outgrown all of this toy stuff, so my training rig isn't cramping them.

Really no room for a fan and I watch the tv in my living room which is a reach away from the bike or listen to music. Sorry about the pics it was pretty hard to get far enough away from the bike to get it all in (yes, I had the zoom all the way out).

I'm trying to finalize my basement setup. I'm going to be running Trainerroads/Sufferfest, netflix, hulu, etc... via my Macbook Pro connected to a 50" TV. My question is:
1.) What is the best way to handle all the remote controls and mice while riding? Are the sweat covers with the pockets worth the coin? What about wooden TV trays? They look a little unstable and I don't really want to spend $100 on 4 TV trays when I only need one. Any other suggestions?
2.) I have a carpeted basement. I want to put something down to protect the floor. Anyone use these? I think something too thick would be unstable. Anyone use a piece of vinyl flooring?

2.) Yes I use them. The trainer sinks into the pad enough to stay very stable, and they do a great job at protecting the floor from sweat/grease/spilled gatorade. 20 bucks at walmart for the 4 pack, so you can't beat it IMO

Mine's apparently the only 'cave' around here
I live in a pre WWI building in central Europe, equipped with its own bomb shelter! As it's been sitting empty since the Russians last bombed the place, it took some time to clear.
Solid steel doors and heavy beams keep the noise in and the cold out.
Alas, being a common area means i can't have stuff permanently there

I use two of those smaller black fans and they are cheap Wal Mart specials. i think Honeywell is the brand. They work good for pointing pretty directionally and keeping cool. My cave is in the basement and is pretty cold. When the weather turns a bit warmer I have a really big fan that I bring out to keep cool.
oh, and last year my infant son spent a fair amount of time in the pain cave with me. I found that putting him in a swing right next to one of the fans was great. He didn't get blown on, and the white noise of the fan and watching the pedals turn put him to sleep every time.

Forget the nice bikes - the first thing I saw is that you have a Vasa trainer! I've been raving about mine since I bought one in December 2013 - for a time crunched guy like myself, it's my best weapon in triathlon to date. (I've got gobs of low hanging fruit on the swim portion, which is limited primarily by pool access time.) My bike and run indoor setup is also totally solid, but the Vasa is the real gamechanger for me. I actually like that it's a 'different' workout from the pool - more focused on pull, but really good.

I don't really have a pain cave because my spot is open to the outside. Instead I have a pain porch.
Here is the view when I'm riding:

The fan on the left is a Vornado. I think it's this model.
The one on the right is a much less expensive Honeywell similar to this model.

Thanks for noticing. Am looking at the Varsa for some good technique training, as my pool is always overloaded, so its hard to get a good solid technique session in. I can do 1900m in 30mins, and hoping some solid improvements by end of the year.

You gotta be kidding me. That's one of the nicest single room spaces I've seen - clean, nice furniture, nice wall paint, lights work, hardwood floors etc. (You still have to clean your room!)
It's not my favorite setup sure due to the smaller space, but if that was my room, I'd be ready to roll for indoor bike training for sure. I did the same with an even smaller and grubbier room in an urban area. The biggest problem for me and I suspect a lot of apt dwellers is the potential noise from the trainer vibration - the trainer itself makes very little noise (KK or Fluid2) but often times, the vibrations cause a much louder weird buzz that drives your downstairs folks a bit nuts when they hear it as it's not subtle at all. I had to wait until my downstairs neighbor car showed he was gone, and even then I'd worry about the adjacent neighbors buzz.

Re: Let see your Pain Cave

This is my bike setup - ceiling fan and A/C not visible, iPad on a music-stand running Wahoo Fitness to control my Kickr. Normally it's my tri bike on the trainer but I wanted to compare the power readings between my Quarq and Kickr, hence the dirty road bike. This is obviously pre-workout as there isn't a huge puddle of sweat on the floor!
I also have a DIY Vasa-alike swim trainer made from an old Nordic Track XC ski machine.

No worries. The fans blow in a pretty focused stream so either world probably work for you. The vornado is a bit expensive but it's pretty powerful and almost silent!

No, a dungeon it's not, but there's no better name for our workout area than a "Pain Cave". Whether it's long rides on the trainer, 500lb deadlifts, or tournament worthy ippon seoi nage throws, this is where pain happens. Not sure how it worked out, but the ventilation is all hiding in this pic. When I long ride the trainer, the bench comes out of the squat rack, the bike goes in, and two Vornado floor fans keep me cool and dry. A pedestal fan blows over the treadmill to keep it cool as well. I'm not much of a photographer, so it looks pretty cramped, but it's not really: 16ft x 16ft, with 10x16ft open area. Another TV coming soon (Yay Cyber Monday deals!) to put in front of the treadmill. My wife didn't appreciate the partially obstructed view of the TV in the squat rack from the treadmill, ended up getting a 24" Smart TV for free, should be here next week. 1300lbs of weights, heavy bag, treadmill, cycle trainer, grappling dummy, bench, and squat rack. The Concept 2 Rower is outside for now. There's nothing functional or productive that happens at a gym besides swimming that I can't do here.
Holy cow...just spotted this. I think we own the exact treadmill. Last year I got rid of my rack and many of my weights. I now just have a bunch of dumbbells and some Bowflex Selectechs. Also have a heavy bag and grappling dummy for some extra aggression release.

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [cyclingsessions]
[ In reply to ]
I found that around 250 watts, my Quarq was reading about 20 watts lower than the Kickr. Both calibrated before the session. Perhaps I need to do another spin-down on the Kickr after it's warmed up. I'm sure DC Rainmaker found the Kickr to be pretty accurate and correlated closely to his plethora of other devices so I'll have to revisit his article and see if he employed any tricks to get this.
It's a great device though, the fact that you can just set a power and pedal without needing to concentrate is fantastic, completely independent of cadence. It would be nice if the screens on Wahoo Fitmess which I use to control it were customisable though - for example if you are on the power screen you can't see the elapsed time.

Okay so finally here is mine. Had it for a while but only just got around to taking some pics this afternoon when doing a clean up.
An assortment of bikes from TT, Road, Commute, Track, Fixie and a few spares plus 2 are my wife's. Right at the back.
The spares cupboard is nice when looking for 'that part'.
The treadmill is newish. My wife uses it mainly as I prefer to head out to a national park about 400 meters from my house.
The locker just has my wetsuits. Long, short, speed etc...
Clearly the car has never been on the inside of this Cave.
The Cave does double as a workshop but not much happens on that front.
Enjoy the pics.

I used Vinyl plank flooring. I have a dehumidifier that is set to 50% humidity and also leave my fans on for 1 hour after my workouts to dry up my puddle of sweat.
Re: Let see your Pain Cave [Keith-OH]
[ In reply to ]
Good to know.
Thought about a dehumidifier as I thought it might help and will also need to get a better fan so I make less sweat in the first place.
Not as much of an issue in the fall and winter as with the cooler temperatures and an open window, there are fewer and smaller puddles after workouts.

Flat screen TV's are an absolute no no, all pain cave TV's should be house hold rejects that are the old tube version purchase pre 2000, none-HD, none-digital, and most likely none-working!
Honestly, some of you lot train in pure 5 star luxury ;-)
I would take a photo of my pain cave but it is so devoid of light that the flash on my camera wouldn't be able to generate enough light to be able to capture the picture.
I think my garage fits in with your definition of a pain cave....old unused tube version TVs included.
Real men use an old, moldy cardboard box which has been soaked with gallons of sweat through months of use as an exercise matt......now that I think I about it I should replace it with a newer box.
Just bought an unassembled 1980ish weider squat rack/bench press w weights (kilograms not pounds hahaha) for $50 off craigslist. Some parts are missing and i'm in process of locating them so I can complete my master gym.
They added aprons to all the garages in our entire apartment complex recently and everyone had to leave their garage door open for a couple hours. I got a good gander into everyone's garage and I do in fact have the shittiest looking one in the entire apt complex.

While it pales in comparison to some on this forum, here is my version of a pain cave. More like a kid cave with a very small corner for me. Just had the basement finished and with a long winter ahead (1-2 feet of snow projected tomorrow night), I'm looking forward to putting in some hours down here. Plenty of room for some free weights/stretching, a spot for my bike, and a full bathroom.

My first post here and it includes my little slice of heaven in my basement. It is all the room that I have left down there, with all the kid's stuff and storage space being used. Sorry for the poor quality. I guess its time to clean my phone. There are more bikes off to the side that take up a lot of space as well. This is just the work area/spot where the Kickr is set up.

We moved into a new house a little over a month ago (after living with the in-laws for 13 weeks), and I've finally set everything up in the 'Pain Cave.' The treadmill was delivered this evening, and is ready for the white stuff to start falling here in New England.
For some reason, I'm having a hard time posting the picture from Flickr. The link isn't working when I try to use the picture post function (anyone know how to properly get the URL from Flickr to work?). Anyway, here's the link to the pic - please no comments on the awesome wall paneling that came with the house!

Not as fancy as your setup, but decided to add another bike to my stable. Got to still get some type of multi rider
running with these 3 Velotrons now. And I hope these units would allow us to have no warm up needed for the ride,
no power drifting during the ride, and correct power readings for each of us. I still need to get a second
50 inch plasma for the room.

How often do you have 2 or 3 riders? Looks very tight space for that many bikes.

Current thought. They are this close since just me. If and when I have more folks, I can spread them out since I would not need to get to the treadmill.
If that does not work, I can move the treadmill over. If that does not work, I remove the table top and move them around. Lots of opinions. (Could there be
room for 4? :) )
For now just need to get all three wired and working, gets some friends over to try out, and make sure works before I do to many other things in the room.
Have never really tried multi rider stuff so will be interesting to see what I can get to work.

On this 1 acre lot we could really think what we would need. And a bike / workout room was in the plans early on. It is next to the garage and has the same cement floor. Ceiling height is a nice 11 feet and eventually most bikes not used will hang up on the wall. As do the wheels in that pic behind me. We want the floor space to be open.
I imagine one bike on the trainer and maybe one extra bike down. Outside of that only the storage area in front and a tool box. :-)
The Dyson fan works well, but all these side rooms are running on Mitsubishi mini splits, so I can make it as cold or hot as I want to without impacting the rest of the house or any other room.

Already had garmin speed/cadence sensor so I had to use a Wahoo ANT+ key to connect to my phone/ ipad and it only comes in the old 30 pin configuration.

Nice pain cave. Did somethign similar with finished room and concrete floor. I would suggest a good cleaning of the floor and sealing of the concrete. Concrete is quite porous and sweat does take it's toll. Much easier to mop up if cleaned. I just purchased a water soluble semi gloss sealer and applied it with a sprayer and worked it in with a roller.

We have a second garage (the man who built the house had a lot of shop space) that we have gradually converted over the last few years - cleaning it up, patching holes, and installing bike storage hooks. After we got the treadmill in January, we decided to go all in and really make it a home gym, with more wall patching, some electrical work, and painting. We went with the TRX and kettlebells, because we can do a lot with relatively little equipment. The rubber flooring is 3/8" rolled rubber from flooringinc.com (they offer a really good coupon code if you order a sample). We're still talking about some other equipment like a squat stand or ploy box, but the space itself is done.
Unfortunately, we don't have any good before photos.

They service it locally and its $1,500 Canadian. I was originally looking into Super Chexx because they are officially licensing the NHL brand and you can order your table with the desired teams. The issue is that they are around $3000 USD and sourcing a replacement part down the road could be a pain. The official NHL team logos and automatic puck drop didn't warrant the big jump in price for me. I ended up just adding some Red Wings stickers on the Carrom to make it go with the other Red Wings swag in the man cave.

That's sweet. Thanks for the info. Are you happy with the game play on it? And props to a fellow Wings fan!

Game play is solid, no dead spots (where you gotta tip the table), and the scoring system is consistent. Go Wings!

No, a dungeon it's not, but there's no better name for our workout area than a "Pain Cave". Whether it's long rides on the trainer, 500lb deadlifts, or tournament worthy ippon seoi nage throws, this is where pain happens. Not sure how it worked out, but the ventilation is all hiding in this pic. When I long ride the trainer, the bench comes out of the squat rack, the bike goes in, and two Vornado floor fans keep me cool and dry. A pedestal fan blows over the treadmill to keep it cool as well. I'm not much of a photographer, so it looks pretty cramped, but it's not really: 16ft x 16ft, with 10x16ft open area. Another TV coming soon (Yay Cyber Monday deals!) to put in front of the treadmill. My wife didn't appreciate the partially obstructed view of the TV in the squat rack from the treadmill, ended up getting a 24" Smart TV for free, should be here next week. 1300lbs of weights, heavy bag, treadmill, cycle trainer, grappling dummy, bench, and squat rack. The Concept 2 Rower is outside for now. There's nothing functional or productive that happens at a gym besides swimming that I can't do here.

Complete with Tour de France podium lion, 1x Tacx Bushido, 1x Tacx Vortex. In front of the S5 there is a diy tablet stand for Zwifting, Perfpro, Youtube, etc. It was made with galvanized pipe from the big box hardware stores. The gatorade cooler stores misc bike parts.

So you basically have https://www.amazon.com/...s=usb+to+rj45+dongle plugged into your computer. Then Cat5 running to where you want ANT dongle, another adapter, and then do you just use a female to female USB like this, https://www.amazon.com/...female+to+female+usb that goes from RJ45 adapter to ANT+ USB Dongle?

Getting around to framing up the pain cave, and getting close to start pulling wire. I was about to order those RJ45 to usb but then I noticed they arent USB2 compatible, or so it says it supports usb1 speeds only. Do you know if your ANT dongle is USB2 or 1? I believe they usually say on the back somewhere. Just wondering if this will work with the USB2 dongles that are pretty much required now on Trainer Road, well in certain applications anyway. Thanks again for all the tips!

My house isn't very big and we needed the guest bedroom back!The small room wasn't really working for us anyways. Plenty of space behind the garage so we decided to extend the building and add a 20'x24' addition. It's took a year to build as we've jumped from contractor to contractor to get it done.. A lot of favors along the way to get to this point. I did all of the electrical, insulation, painting, floor epoxy, etc.. contracted out the rest. Really wish we would have just bid the job out to one person and got it done asap... oh well! Ceiling with scissor trusses is 10' high at peak so it feels big. We wanted it to feel like a dungeon. Still figuring out decorations and moldings.. haven't had time to finalize that stuff. The heat pump will keep the room at 64 degrees all year long. Still need a few things like a full mirror by the rack. I'm really loving this setup though. Compared to being in a small guest bedroom this space feels awesome to be in. Only wish I didn't have to go back into the house to use the bathroom!

Thanks! Do you just put the tiles on top of the carpet or remove the carpet and just place on the slab. I’m not sure my wife wants me removing/ruining the carpet.

My base floor is concrete with linoleum tile (yuck!). I don't know how it would work on carpet, but this is dense stuff. It's pretty cheap, so there's very little financial downside to simply trying it.
My trainer is an Elite Drivo and it doesn't 'sink' enough to notice it. Rollers are Elite e-Motion B+ and they are also quite stable.

I bought those tiles off eBay and put them directly on top of my plywood subfloor. My building is around 220 sq ft and I think I ended up paying around $150. I am probably going to purchase some stall mats from tractor supply company to put under my squat rack. The weights tend to leave marks in that foam tile. The stall mats are more resilient and thicker.

No more dust from the bare concrete. If the basement ever gets wet with carpet it is normally a big issue. The epoxy is claimed to withstand 3 psi of water pressure. any touch up work can be easily done by just applying a new clear coat in the future which is pretty cheap and easy.

These fans are not remotely controllable. When biking, I always set the fan to "max", and the one for running can easily be adjusted while running.
The fans comes with a wall mount in the box. There's also an option to buy a tripod, too.

For the record, I'm using a Wemo mini switch with Google Home Mini to control my fan. I have a routine set up. I say, "Hey google, shut up legs." It turns on my TV, Lights, and music. If I say "Hey Google, Let's Race.", it turns on TV, Lights, Music and Fan. When I'm done, I say, "Hey google, all done." and it shuts everything off.
I use a chromecast to turn on and off the TV. Will use the same strategy when I add my sound bar. Unfortunately, my old computer doesn't let me control it with voice. Older Bios settings. That will be changed with next computer.

My setup is pretty similar to that. I'm just too cold in the mornings to have a fan on within the first 5-10 or so minutes. Here's what I use for a powerful fan that can be floor or wall mounted and has a remote control. https://www.laskoproducts.com/...ll-mount-fan-h20650/

Basement = extra cold in the winter and manageable in the other seasons.
Key pieces are a nice fan down low, TV above, mirror to check pedal stroke/hip rocking.
Elsewhere in the room is a workbench, wheel storage behind the door, and extra bike in the corner next to a ceiling mounted bike stand.

It might be worth considering adding the interlocking floor tiles to the floor around your bike etc. I know your floor already isn't bad and looks easy to clean, but there's something nice about the look, feel and demarcation of having the tiles around the workout area.
Of course, if the tiles get in the way of other multipurpose uses of that room (like workshop), don't do it, but I will add that I was very surprised at how much the gym flooring tiles added to my pain cave, both visually and with the 'pro' feel of the floor. Even my wife who only uses my TM and is not a serious endurance athlete, loves the gym flooring.

I do have 1 small carpet tile under the kickr which keeps the noise down a bit, but I am against any sort of additional flooring in this space for 2 reasons.
1.) it's a multipurpose area with a furnace and water heater close by. The epoxy coating does a nice job and is already easy to clean.
2.) As the space is in the basement, i like the cool (temperature) flooring and do not want to insulate that epoxy covered concrete from the rest of the room. I want to keep it as cold, year round as possible. Typically 55 F in winter and 65F in summer without any help.
It's also just plain easy to wipe bikes off and sweep up mud/grass down there with the epoxy flooring.

Looks a bit more cramped here than it is but it isn't the biggest space at about 9'x17'. The treadmill deck is also too high so I (5'11") can't use the incline features of the treadmill. Converted that awful dungeon of a garage into a proper pain cave for less than $1200 total spent ($300 treadmill, $500 trainer, $50 paint, $100 flooring, $200 gym equipment). Rest was either decommissioned hardware (all in one Dell computer from work, 32" TV from old bedroom) or free (extra free weights).

The flooring is the best part! =)
I did the same with my garage, and it similarly went from looking like a Guantanamo Bay torture center (especially with the Vasa!) to almost a high-end indoor gym like yours. I think it's the best cheap upgrade a garage gym can get. ($<150 in my case for nearly the entire garage.)

The treadmill is a very recent addition, I am looking to move a few things around so it feel less “crowdâ€. The ski ERG will most likely go behind the treadmill so the space behind it won’t be lost and free some floor space on the right. Then, the rower will most likely move near the wall. I exclusively use the 3 rollers for Zwift (Elite Aerion mag), as it offers quite a lot of resistance. The only drawback is that with the resistance set to 1 (0-1-2), it is quite challenging to go over 600W with my 1x gearing; and with the resistance to 2 there is not enough inertia during recovery between hard intervals, so it becomes very unstable. So I have to trade sprint effort resistance or EZ recovery. Not ideal. Maybe a 53 would help, but then my chain is too short LOL

Very nice.
Do you have a second screen for the treadmill? and are you running Zwift off a computer or apple TV or something else? After like 5 years I still haven't found an ideal setup in terms of TV screen, computer, trainer and Zwift control. Im just two sweaty to reliably use a touch screen interface while riding and everything else is just a bit awkward.

Since I got the treadmill, I am not using the ski ERG a lot. The machine itself is very well made, like all Concept 2 products. I used to NOT bike or run in the winter, so the ski ERG was a very nice complement to the rower. One mostly leg driven opening the hips, the other mostly upper body and hips closing. I am not a fan of weight training, so the rower is a great alternative because of the lower cadence. But now with 4 machines (rower, ski ERG, bike, treadmill), the ski ERG is the one I use the least.

I don’t have another screen yet, the setup is not final. At the moment, I use my phone on the treadmill to run on zwift. To be honest, I don’t care a lot about what is happening on zwift when I am running ATM. Biking yes as there is more happening and I do structured workout, but I do my thigs when I run. It is really a shame that I cannot use the 10in TV on the treadmill itself using a HDMI cable (Nordictrack C1750)!
But screen wise, I use my 13in laptop on the ground when I bike or row and use the TV as a second screen (TV series or Zwift). If I do an intense workout, I put zwift on the TV and nothing on the computer, if it is just some time to exercise/low intensity I put Zwift on the computer and Netflix on the TV.
I use Jabra elite sport for headphone and the Bluetooth HR is pretty good. I don’t like having a watch or belt… this is perfect.

I'm sure we've all been spending a good amount of time in our Pain Caves recently. I love seeing everybody else's setup!
Here's my budget Pain Cave/Crevice that's just in the corner of my bedroom.
- Used Kickr Snap I purchased from another member on the forum
- Monitor from my WFH days (before everybody was doing it) to display Zwift
- iPad that was just laying around my room, for watching Youtube videos
- Bluetooth speaker I won in a White Elephant
- Little mini desk fan. And I can reach the ceiling fan dial from the saddle for some extra breeze if needed
- Yoga mat that's not quite wide enough, so I had to lay a towel down under one of the trainer legs
The trainer and the fan are really the only things I purchased specifically for indoor riding. Everything else I was able to scavenge from around the apartment.
Once my current lease is up, I'm highly considering moving into another place that would have more room for an improved setup. But this does the job for now!

Rubber flooring was already starting to come up so I drove 2 hours round trip to the closes Tractor Supply Co with horse stall mats. Much sturdier and don't feel bad about dropping weights on the 3/4" thick rubber.

I'll just have to make sure there's an air conditioner in the room, unless I want it to literally become a pain cave in summer.

I made my pain cave out of an extra bedroom / office and I just drop the A/C in the whole place to the max and start to put on sweats and 2 jackets (and a beanie) when it starts getting really cold to prep.
Then I have 4 shots of espresso (and dark chocolate almond milk) and my preworkout and get on the bike and strip layers on the bike during my bike warmup, down to just tri shorts no shirt at the end. It gets pretty icy in there. I just don’t want to be sweating insane amounts in there and I generally heat up and sweat a lot. I have to raise the AC immediately after getting off my bike as it’s pretty cold.
My fan is by the door pulling the cold air into the pain cave as I have heated up that whole room by physical exertion.

They are mock-shoji screens with paper that's a bit more durable than real rice paper. And in Boston, not Japan. A previous occupant put the screens in and they're lovely, I re-papered them about 6 years ago and they've held up well since. Nice for dividing a space without real doors and hiding storage behind.

thats really cool, but how the hell do you swim on the vasa with so little room? i swim on a vasa and to me that seems so super narrow of a space.[/quote]
Works OK, but it does demand good technique to prevent a flailing arm from hitting the wall. Probably helps I'm a short scrawny runner type so my legs don't stick out too far out the back. I think I measured 12x3 needed for the vasa, but only that wide for the front portion arms forward so I was able to cheat at the legs where it overlaps with the treadmill.
Still working out the HVAC though - the room is too small for a mini split so considering just fans in the summer and a small electric garage heater for the cold Iowa winters.

Garage treadmill people,
I’m in Chicago with a 2 car detached un-insulated garage. Short of the complete build out/drywall any suggestions for heating the garage enough to (comfortably) run through winter, ideally 50-60 degrees when it’s 10 degrees outside.
Any set ups you have that get the job done? Thanks!

I use the basic editor (firewall blocks some of the advanced editor features), so i manually input the img tags.
it will look somehting like {img}https://imgur.com/yourphoto.jpg{/img} (replace the curly brackets with square ones) Sometimes imgur puts spaces in between the {img} and the https:// so those spaces need to come out.

6 bikes, but not a pair of dumbbells over 8 pounds. Such a cyclists room ;) Looks pretty sweet though!!

Wow! Excellent setup. Love that bike storage. At first I thought mirrors were kind of weird but recently I've been kind of wanting one. Once we get a permanent setup it's definitely something I'll add.
I find it interesting how both yours and the JerseyDragon's above are nearly polar opposites. One is a basement with no natural light and wood floors, the other a sunlit room with gym mat floors. Both clearly get the job done well though.

The weights portion there is my wife's HIIT workout location. I have another location for my weight training, but might need to add extra weights for next time I post a picture ;). Cheers!

I'm a big fan of the blower fans on a smart outlet. I can warm up and then just ask Siri to 'turn on the fan' to keep temps manageable. Likely will be selling the buffet workbench thing and doing something else with that wall shortly.

Still trying to figure out what my next Tri bike is going to be, but for now the setup is strong. 33 weeks to IMWI. Yes...the garage is messy. Jeep parts and kids toys taking over.
Nice Woodway!

Re: Let see your Pain Cave [JackStraw13]

Thanks buddy. I've had it about six months now. This particular unit was one of two 4Front models which Woodway were going to use on the 2020 trade show circuit, but became available when all the trade shows went away. I think it had something like 27 miles on it when I got it - got a decent discount because it wasn't "brand new," even though there was no way I could tell (there was still some factory plastic to peel off).
I had a Sole treadmill I'd bought new about 10 years ago - the WW is obviously next-level. I'm not that fast, but even intervals at 12 mph are, other than the effort, basically unnoticeable by sound and any bouncing.

Just had to give props. Trucker. Races Crits and Cx. So took out his passenger seat and jammed his Kickr into his cab to train while on the road.

Wow! Not sure how anyone can beat that. That might be more hardcore than the guy training in a damp cool basement. I can't imagine driving all day or night, then sitting on a bike for a workout, in that tight cramped space. Yikes.

Updates, fresh paint, rearranged, vinyl plank flooring, etc.

Looks great. I love the SL7. Great paint combo.

This is probably the cheapest pain cave of all, but I love it :)

What flooring did you go with there? I am in the middle of new construction project and the builder is leaving this one up to me. Leaning toward 1/2" Regupol from Rogue. Got a quote from Plae for 12mm floor but it was more expensive. Read the other thread on flooring and want something cleaner than stall mats and more gym-focused than vinyl tile. Open to other suggestions and interested in opinions folks have on Regupol or Plae.

Nice pain cave. I like the shoe boxes, but vote no to the Leads for them. Also, it looks like you stole your shirt from your little brother! Haha.

New house, new pain cave....
Bumping this thread back up after a week or so of DIY improvements to the basement bike cave and 3d printing workspace.
Electrical, sound dampening insulation, drywall hang, tape, finish, primed, paint, and moved some things around. Last up is to get the storage area in the back situated and hang some shelves for larger holiday decorations.
Overall, really happy with the space. Will decide on a floor and ceiling in the future.

What bike racks are those? My wife would be even angrier at me for my tri gear scattered everywhere after seeing your storage/organization...

Replying to no one in particular.
How is everyone storing wheels? I have a stack of spare wheels (which some need to be tossed/donated/etc), but a handful of race wheels and seconds sets that I would like to be able to store and pull out without just stacking them in wheel bags. Any ideas or reccomendations?

Good problem to have.
Start making clocks from the wheels and sell on etsy.
Or figure out lights and make it ceiling light
Rudy racks makes a 4 wheel tower.

I kind of have the same issue...Right now, mine are just lined up tire edge down on the floor(vertically)...but I've thought of building something for them out of pvc piping and foam insulation to store them horizontally...
