With soaring gas prices we wouldn't be surprised if the bike industry is experiencing a major boom. Because of this, we thought we'd offer up some bike storage (all wooden!) solutions so that you don't have to do what we do: just lay your bike against the wall in your entry way (boooring).
Bicycle Storage Solutions
• Custom molded laminate wood shelf
• Folds down to save space when not in use
• Convenient two point fixing (hardware included)
• Sturdy steel and wood construction finished in silver powdercoat
• Maximum load 50 lbs (22 Kgs)
• Dimensions 17.5" x 14.5" x 10.5" (28" collapsed)
Our favorite part? It's only $29.99! And it folds down! We live in a studio apartment, folding is essential. We also love that it has a little shelf. Multifunctional furniture is also essential. More information here.
This is the Conde, and what we like most is how tiny it is. Again, studio apartment. Space is limited. We also really like the peg. Details:
"The Conde Single-Bike wall mount nails into a stud in your wall to easily display and store your bike while not in use. The Conde wall mount will work for any road, triathlon, mountain,or even a kids bike, and comes with felt padding to protect your bike's finish. A velcro strap is used to better secure the bike to the wall mount. In addition the Conde wall mount has pegs to store helmets, shoes, or air out your training clothing!"
It's $44.95 and available here.
This one's the Conde 2. We like it because it reminds us of an easel (we love seeing easels displayed) and also because we would paint it a different color every week (exaggeration). Details:
"The Conde Wood 2-Bike storage rack is a simple, elegant solution to conveniently store two bikes while not in use. The Conde Wood 2-Bike rack can hold road, mountain, time-trail, as well as kid's bikes, and comes with felt padding to protect your bike's finish. Solid, hardwood Maple construction makes the Conde rack a stable and reliable stand for years of use."
It's $169.99 and available here.

Oh wow. I love the Monet. We live in a small apartment and have had to shuffle around my husband's road bike for too long. While I'd prefer a Cycloc (sigh...so pretty), this price tag is suits our budget. Score!

OR you could buy a bike hook for less than $6, but whatever floats your boat.

Well of course you could simply buy a significantly cheaper bike hook, but that's not really the point is it?
These are all well designed, and as a bike owner and small apartment renter, I like how they're made to hold the frame of the bike which makes it more flush to the wall and not so stuck out into the available space.
The Monet is especially striking, I could see that being a useful little landing for all sorts of things while the bike is out and about.

Well, actually, ignore my first post. I purchased two bike hooks for less than $2 from Lowe's. As a response to the post above, sure, they are well designed, but it's as simple as turning the bike parallel to the wall, which frees up lots of space. I'm also worried that the only thing keeping the bikes on the wall are two thin wires. Overall, I just found it a little funny that this post sounded like "omg the gas prices are way high! Here, buy this expensive piece of equipment even though you could get the same sort of thing elsewhere for 29 times less!"

Does anyone know whether a bike hook could be attached to a wooden door? The bike would hang perpendicular to the floor, and I'd really rather not have my bedroom door ripped from its hinges if it ends up not being able to support the weight.
