I'm gonna estimate it's about 4.5 feet wide by 7 or a bit more tall.  I 
agree with the 5 bike estimate (I might be the one who said it too) 
based on the tons of bike hooks up here on the walls at Instructables. 
Note that 5 bikes assumes a staggered arrangement so the handles don't 
interfere.

No idea what kind of backing is inside the wall there.  Anyone have a 
stud finder?  I have several sheets of plywood I could donate to this 
cause (attach plywood to studs, attach bike hooks to plywood).
