Bike Storage: Wall mounts, stands, lock-ups, sheds, etc.

Right so i have two busybody neighbours who i share the downstairs hallway of my house with.
Neither of them have to commute (one works form home and one is usually away in scotland)

But they both whinge constantly about my skinny bike "making the hallway look messy" and being a "fire hazard"
Yeah right. If you're five feet wide.

Came home today to find this note under my doorway suggesting we club together to buy one of these:

My major problem is the bike mag reviews saying how wonderful they are - so i can't say flat out - "they're no good".

Personally i'm fine with leaving them in the hallway...

If you have the space INSIDE your place, I built something for my home which works beautifully and looks REALLY nice when done. It took about two hours when all was said and done, and cost about twenty bucks: (see attchment)

It's built from regular pipe fittings that thread together. Any hardware store has them... and can cut and thread them for you.

If anyone is interested in detailed plans (like the exact lengths of the pipe - it saves some trial and error) tell me. I'd be glad to measure them tonight and post it up. You'd only have to lengthen or shorten the top pipe to adjust for your ceiling height.

laters.
