We have had six bikes hanging that way since about 1980. No problems.

In fact: One evening my brother brought his two kids over. They were
about 10 or 12, I'd say. We were upstairs, the boys were bored playing
in the basement, and I heard one say "Nick, you'd better cut it out!"

I went downstairs to find Nick using one of the bikes as a swing!
_Still_ no problems.
