  1. Anybody banged together a home made bike rack for apt or garage, and got a
    suggestion as to what to do? My landlord's complaining about too many bikes
    in the hallway, and I need to do something, like putting a hanging rack in
    the basement. It needs to hang four bikes. Rather than dole out cash for
    Minoura bike tree or something (I'll need two), I can see getting some 2 x
    4s and some rubberized bike hooks I saw, but that's about where I am
    stumped.

    Thanks.

    Yeah these are great , ya dont even need a 2x4 if you screw them into the
    studs (use a studfinder)

    16 inch on center is just about right to put a few bikes next to each other

    I hung a 2x4 with 4 hooks in the wall in my garage. Then the first bike
    hangs by the rear wheel, second by front, and so on. Works well, except
    that I bought some cheapo hooks at OSH that bend way to easy. I need to get
    some heavy duty ones.

    Here is a novel idea! ( In my most smart assed tone) To your landlord....of
    course.... How about having he/she build you one. Takes the ball out of
    your hands. Or park a car in the hallway. Get an xtra cycle.
