[Shop-talk] hanging bicycles

[Brian Kemp]

Tim - If your hanging area is 8-9 feet high, the low tech method is to 
just put up a pair of hooks and hang the bikes from the rims. Measure 
the distance from hub to hub and space the hooks that far apart. If the 
joists don't line up, put the hooks in a 2x4 and attach it to the 
ceiling joists. I normally hook the back wheel then hook the front one. 
If you alternate the direction of the bikes, you can put them closer 
together.
