Bike Racks?

08-05-2004, 04:18 PM

We are trying to free up a little room in the house and I want to get the
bikes better organized. I've seen these racks that stack two bikes
vertically but I'm not sure I'm up to lifting the top one on & off
regularly. How are these hooks that let you hang the bikes on the wall by
the wheel. To us untrained people it seems like a lot of strain on the
wheel. Can they cause any damage to the bike?

Thanks in advance... Bob

No problems from hanging bikes by their wheels.

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.
