What do you guys think of this sort of solution for your bike? I think it is pretty wife friendly.

Whose wife are you talking about?

It doesn't matter what you think; what counts is what she thinks.

Me too!!! Wall art!!!

I dig the wall art solution, but I always wonder how they handle bikes coming in from the rain and snow.

We have my wife's Ti Road Bike hanging in the living rm. I had four bikes on the LR wall in my former house. I learned that it's best to have the hook through the back wheel, as the stress on the headset and/or shock fork (on an MTB) is not good.

I'm sorry, that just sounds like one of those myths. Think about it, how much stress are you putting on the fork/headset while riding? Easily 10 times more than a 17lb bike puts on itself.

I'm pretty sure that if this were actually an issue every shop I've ever been in would use a different solution for the temporary storage of bikes. The suggestion that hanging a bike from its front wheel as a storage solution, as far as I can tell, serves only one purpose; selling more wall mounted bike racks.

Moderators. Why can't I see the posted picture?

I used a regular bracket to hang a bicycle [high] on a wall... sorta like art. I hung it in my basement office... and the wife is very cool with the appearance. I also leaned another old bicycle against the wall below it. I like the look!

Both bikes are over 25-30 years old but clean and polished-up like new. I plan on using one on a trainer this winter.
