I had a 4-bike stand similar to this -- worked really well, although I think 4 bikes is a little much for a living room, so now we've moved them all. :)

It's also available on Amazon for $59.99.

I have one of these on my (enclosed) balcony and it works very well.

Anyone know who makes these bikes??

@venicebeach: They kind of look like urban outfitters bikes: http://bikes.urbanoutfitters.com/build.asp

I got this stand about....1.5 years ago at target. I use the higher part as a coatrack, and the bottom as my bike stand. It's great.

The bikes are also made by Public.

Very cool, but not if you have kids!

I checked out the Amazon link, and yes, the same thing is available there for less than it is from Public.

The post itself is a bit misleading in that it is made by another company that has been around for 20 years and is not a new design from Public Bikes.

Thanks Jose!

They sell something just like this at Target for about $40.

My husband and I have had a stand just like this for more than 5 years. We got it from either amazon or one of our many favorite online bike shops (maybe bike nashbar?). It cost only $40 when we bought it and ours looks exactly like the pic but a different brand. It is fantastic for apartment dwellers and even now that we finally have a place to put the bikes outside of our living space we still use it in our garage because it is so easy to use and supports the bikes so well. This definitely is not for family's with kids or large pets as it is not secured to the wall though it is very stable as long as you don't pull on it. Friends always thought it was cool looking and the best looking solution to having bikes inside one's home.

We bought one like this from Target for $50. We had to take it back though; it wouldn't hold up my partner's and my bikes. It could be because it was a cheaper version (maybe?) or just an issue with our bikes. Just a warning though! It would have been awesome had it worked.

I'm curious as to why when I click or try to cut and paste the Amazon link, I'm automatically redirected back to Apartment Therapy. But when I click on the Urban Outfitters or Seattle architects links, they work just fine.

Is Apartment Therapy being paid to promote Public's product?

I have this stand. What you don't see in the picture are the accessories hooks. We hang our shoes and gloves on the hooks. (Our helmets hang on the bike hook- that way, we need to touch our helmets in order to get the bike off, so we can't forget them.) It is indeed the simplest, slimmest solution we found for keeping our bikes indoors (in our living room, actually. It's the only place!).

We have cats and a toddling nephew who visits. It's quite stable, and despite the pets, kid, and clumsy me knocking into it multiple times with myself, my books, or the vacuum cleaner, it has remained perched solidly upright. Not sure how I'd feel with a large dog or a full time kid, though.

The rubber bits don't mark the wall in any way.

Definitely one of our "keeper" items. (Now if I could only figure out a solution as elegant for the keeping of the REST of my bikes which currently rotate in the scary basement...)

Like many others, we got this stand about 1.5 years ago from Target in the $40-50 range. It's compact, which was important in our little apartment, and quite stable, especially if you put the heavier of your bikes on the bottom, but that should be a given for this sort of thing. Really pleased with the stand and would definitely buy again.
