I think my garage is 22' x 22', and we have two Subarus there. The bikes (when there were two): one fit across the front parking spot of one of the cars and the other fit along the passenger side of the right side car. This is the bike that is out more often than the car, so I thought about just parking it behind the car. But one day, you know you will just get in the car and back it out without thinking first!
This does mean you can not let the passenger into the car without first backing the car out of the garage; and letting them out of the car in the driveway, then pulling into the garage. It also means knowing your exact parking margin, since you don't want to pull up too far and hit the bike in front, but if you don't pull up far enough, you can't manuever the other bike, with luggage mounted, around the rear fender of the car. I figure a miss of an inch is as good as a mile.
In the winter, the bike is further into the corner so the 8 hp snowblower can be in the easily-accessed spot, and this means something still blocks the passenger door for the car on the right.
I never keep my riding gear in the garage. Bugs, dirt, cold, etc. It is scattered throughout the house, in various closets, dressers and shelves. The helmets and gloves are in the laundry room, right off the garage.
