Carrot Posted July 17, 2012 Share This probably isn't much to do with technical, but I've seen a few creative ways of storing a bicycle indoors and my hands are itching to build something. So if you've got a cool/creative way of keeping your bike out of the way in the house,post a pic or description here please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Ride Posted July 17, 2012 Share A bike hanger but in the house not in the garage? Keeps it of the ground and high up out of harms way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted July 17, 2012 Share A bike hanger but in the house not in the garage? Keeps it of the ground and high up out of harms way. Easy to break into a garage more diffucult to get it out of your house ... well mostly, I have a seperate room for my bikes and all other bike crap. Works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted July 17, 2012 Share I have a workshop/bikeroom with all the bikes hanging from hooks. Only possible to get lots of bikes fitted in because of the sloping ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrot Posted July 17, 2012 Share I can't link fotos from my phone, but here is a link to what got me thinking: http://gizmodo.com/5...ash-your-wheelshttp://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17szz7c20hyrxpng/medium.png Edited July 18, 2012 by Carrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBguy Posted July 17, 2012 Share If you like *really* simple - put one of these hooks in the wall, about 150cm above the floor. Turn the hook so it's sideways, then put the nose of your saddle in the hook, bike pointing towards the floor. Your brake-hoods provide the lower contact points, and keep the bike stable. If you've got several bikes, more hooks but alternating heights so they hang closer together. Cheap and effective. Doesn't damage either the saddle or the brake-hoods (I've been using this method for years).Edit: also means you can hang up your bike without the wheels - can be useful.

Carrot Posted July 17, 2012 Share Err, I'm blaming the time of night... But I'm not sure what you mean, draw me a picture please? ;-) Is it something like this:http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bikes-as-decor-Freshome04.jpgBut with the bike hanging from the seat/seat post? This also looks cool: http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bikes-as-decor-Freshome10.jpg Edited July 18, 2012 by Carrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenWilson Posted July 18, 2012 Share I like it! Have often thought that some bikes look like works of art and so then you can display them suitably! not sure if i want my frequently muddy, wide-bar, scratched and lurid green dirt jumper in my lounge as a conversation peice however.

mikeMT Posted July 18, 2012 Share ask that dealer in Cape Town who keeps selling stolen bikes, he seems to be quite creative at storing bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBguy Posted July 18, 2012 Share okay, this falls into the category of "economical" - in both price and space - rather than "functional art". All it involves is a hook, twisted sideways. The front wheels of the bikes don't touch the ground, so the only points of contact are saddle and hoods. Apart from one hole in the wall, there's no damage or marking to wall or bike - and you can take the wheels off, if you want to.

Carrot Posted July 18, 2012 Share Ah now I see what you mean, thanks. It's an cool idea, but it'll take up too much space in my place, so i'll be looking at something a little more horizontal and closer to the wall. Those wooden designs look sweet, and I like working with wood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
