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

Does anyone have any experience of stand alone bike stands? I can't attach to the wall due to landlord issues.

We have this Wiggle | Topeak Dual Touch Bike Stand Stands (we picked ours up cheap off ebay with 4 brackets) Hasn't left a mark on the ceilings - When our landlady saw it she was impressed by it too!

I'm after a pedal parker (or similar) for my girlsfriends hallway - I'm looking for a solution to raise the bike up out the way in a narrow hallway and the idea that the bike will lean against the wall at an angle should give us more room than something that makes the bike simply hang down vertically, taking up just as much space as if it was on the floor.

Anyone got a pic of the pedal parker in usage?

Further back in the thread I think.

Or not.

I built one of the IKEA stands quite easily... Worth a punt.

Got this in the hallway. Have to remember to have the drive side pedal in the "up" position

Good stuff^.

I have some Point hooks. They're really useful, but I've found they're a bit intrusive (the upper parts of the bike leaning away from the wall) if ceiling height prevents you from hoiking them up high. I'm thinking of adapting them to make the lean angle less - something on the hooks to push the resting point of the pedal nearer the wall.

I've got a pretty elegant solution going involving the space between the sofa and the living room wall and a bit of tarpaulin for the carpet.

I'm thinking of placing an order for one of these

• I only need one but happy to order more to save on postage costs.
  
  

(or Has anyone found a UK supplier)

I've just ordered a couple of these, I only need 1 but got a second that I'll pass on for half the extortionate postage cost they are charging.

guys,

I moved into my flat today. and my block even spoils us with bike
storage now. But its already packed with bikes in there so I intend to create
a prime spot for myself on the wall
Does anyone know where I can pick one of these / or similar up in London?

In Germany they are called 'pedal parker'. to me they are the most
functional wall mount. They are just brilliant !

Thanks

Anyone got any idea where I can find these?

I bought my last set of amazon, but can't find them there now.

Cheers.

Would those work with Speedplay Zero does anyone know?

I have some in the post Neil, will let you know when they arrive. I really hope they do.

They work with spd's, I'll post a picture of them in use when I get home.

good news

This may or may not be useful to someone's diy wall mount:

Can I humble suggest you don't?

^ What he said.

In other news, I was chatting to the Cycloc chap this afternoon and was having a look at some of his new stuff, quite nice!

Also, it happened to look like an Irish Tricolour, which always nice.

See awesome technical drawing from Shinscar

Decided to order a couple. Hopefully they turn up at my work address...

It's been at the back of my mind to buy a big box and sell these on eBay in order to make some cash on the side to fund bike parts.

What would people think would be an acceptable amount of cash- £20 including postage?

Much less than that and the faff isn't worth it, but equally it needs to be priced at the point that people (not LFGSS members, the general public) would buy them.

I'd probably consider one for £15 (if I was Joe Public). I'd assume you could get a box of 20 for the same DHL shipping cost (9 euros) as buying one or two?

Bit more, shipping is based on weight.

But then you might be able to get the units cheaper in bulk, I would imagine.

Happy to sell for half the price of Wittons...
