Re: [RBW] hanging bikes on the wall

[Patrick Moore]

I don't know what your bike storage area looks like, but I hang mine from
hooks attached to a plank itself bolted to the studs of my garage wall. I
positioned the hooks so that they hold my longest bike so that the front
tire is about 1 foot from the ground. This means that even I, at 66 (and
3/4!! as small children like to say) and without more than average old man
upper body strength, can with relative ease hang a ~31 lb bike by its rear
wheel even while having to cantilever the upside down bike while standing
back from the wall to avoid tangling the bar with those of adjacent bikes.
(I find it much easier to hang by rear wheels, and spaced the hooks to
accommodate bars side by side.)

Again, I don't know your storage area, but perhaps if you position hooks
sufficiently low you can lift the bike to the hook?

[RBW] hanging bikes on the wall

[Minh]

hi all, hope everyone is adjusting to winter, at least for us in the 
northeast! 
as its getting colder, i'm dealing with some bike maint. and one of them is 
solving the bike storage for my lone QB.  i've settled on hanging on the 
wall, but next challenge, how do people lift the bike up high enough?  
currently i can only get it up to about chest high, any tricks to get 
higher?  step ladder? 

this is inside our apt, so i can't ropes over the rafters.   

would appreciate any other ideas people have, only constraint is that i'd 
like to get it off the floor, and it needs to hang parallel to the wall--so 
no hanging by front wheel.  thanks for any ideas!
