Was having trouble with bikes all over the house, so I picked up a 3 pack of these neat little pedal hangers and they worked like a charm!

I have this Gravity bike rack and works well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/GearUp-Lean-Machine-Gravity-Bike/dp/B0039KANCI
From a pure aesthetic reason I'm now looking into these from Cycloc:

I love these, I have a super small apartment, and use these to mount my bikes on the wall. take some measuring and planning, but look great once you have them up.
I live in a 750 sqft apartment. here is how i store my 29er and my road bike. http://imgur.com/0O7lJSX
the stand is by a company called "sportrack" but its just a rebranded Thule rack. it keeps the dirty bike off the ground and also looks cool. here is the stand.good luck on your quest. it took me about a year of bike shit all over to break down and finally buy this stand: https://www.amazon.com/SportRack-SR0012-Sportrack-Adjustable-Stand/dp/B00BCLKWYA/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479682590&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=sportrack+two+bike+stand
By the looks of it, He has a custom BMX Y cable splitting the front brake lever into 2. One side goes into his OG brake, the other side has the EZ split you see him screw on. When the lever is pulled, the cargo caliper would stop the bike, but the original caliper would just open and close as if you pressed the brake without a wheel / disc.
It's connected to the bike via the front fork and the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket uses a U-Bracket similar to the ones found on Mid-Drive e-bikes that use the bottom bracket as a large bolt to hold everything in place. once installed it would not hinder the operation and would barely be noticeable. I'm assuming this bracket has some sort of quick release or thru axle to attach the cargo frame.
The front fork mounts to a secondary headset with fork mounts instead of a stem and a cargo steering linkage instead of a fork. All of that connects to the actual front fork with an arm. This causes handling to be nearly identical to the original bike with the exception of wheel base. The only thing that confuses me about this is how does it account for the rake of various forks? There would need to be some sort of rotating hinge in order to prevent binding when the angles don't match
And that's the story about how I spent 4 hours watching a 20 second video instead of sleeping
Nice! I need a kickstand though; is this one compatible?
On a side note. I always had kickstand issues with my first bike till I got a BV Kickstand. Bought another one. They are nice to work on the bike as well.
I didn't have much luck with those styles, I got a double leg off amazon.
BV Bike Kickstand, Center Mount Bicycle Stand - Length Adjustable, Foldable Double Leg for 24"-28" Bikes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LNLXML4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vfmwDb97QR4X5
Highly recommend this guy! Also a chain stay protector hides those wire a bit by the handle bars. Happy riding!
Because then it would slide all over the bed and get scratched, but seeing how he strapped his bike in also made me cringe. Please buy one of these.
I got two Feedback Rakk stands. It has a swing arm that push the bike into. There are a few knock-offs on Amazon. Or vertical arm style. You can also get simple floor racks.
Have seen people post DIY stands in last month: wood and PVC.
Maybe something that mounts on the chainstay. They also have kickstand that mount near the back wheel.
For less messy amazon links you can extract the part after "/dp/" in

Maybe not exactly what you might be looking for but I have a similar stand like this one and it doesn't take too much space when placed in the corner of a room.

I'm in a similar situation, except I'm in my own apartment instead of a super-tiny dorm. I'm thinking a leaning wall rack might work for me as I have two bikes. You may be able to use the top set of hooks and have the space underneath for something else, perhaps?
I'm still trying to find someone who's used a rack like this to get some firsthand experience. Hopefully the thread about storing your bike will provide some insight as well!
Overhang is OK. Without a rack you are probably gonna have to use these, along with ratcheting straps.
Yakima makes a wind fairing that will probably fix some of issues. I have the areo bars, so I can’t say.

How many times have you used it? I’m interested in finding out your thoughts about it. I’ve been eyeballing this one for a while...
As I stated in my original post I need a travel bag. A bag to store my bike in while on a boat or train that folds down and I can tour with while I cycle between traveling on another boat or train. something more like this but portable. https://www.amazon.com/International-Bike-Box-II-96500/dp/B01MRKBJ2R/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1527431500&sr=8-18&keywords=bike+travel+bag
Like this?
Backpack on my rear rack, held on by a cargo net works for me.
I have a Bikehand floor rack that works great. They list the max tire width at 2.4" but it works fine for my 2.8" tires...barely. Smallest I've used it for is 700x32 and it holds everything fine.
I bought them off Amazon. Make sure you get the pedal mount in the center of your joist and pre-drill the holes if you use the included mounting hardware. The screw head stripped pretty easily otherwise.

For $35 you can get one of these for your garage:

It works really well and I use it for washing the bike as well. When I'm out, I lean the bike against a rack, and if I have to leave it somewhere I lock it up.
What happens if these relatively cheap thingers started showing up at schools?
The sane response would point a maintenance person at a spot and say, "install it there, Hodor".
I think I may just prank my community college by ordering a few of these and having them sent directly to the school.
Now I'm curious about the reaction.
I have this one:
5 Bike Bicycle Floor Parking Rack Storage Stand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005IN02V6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_oqLkxbQ1TRZFA
It does a nice job of organizing my bikes but it is really flimsy.
Why couldn't you use this?
These hooks and these grabber claws are ones I've used in the past. The plain hooks are definitely the cheapest. Most recently, I've used a couple pieces of pipe screwed together and they're awesome.
What if you get one of these, and attach/weld it to the BOB. Then all you need to do is remove the front wheel, and clamp down the bike to the mount. If the trailer is low enough, then I don't see you having any issues.
I carried my 17 foot Grumman on my 2003 Elantra all the time.
I did it by using split foam pipe insulation the length of the gunnels --this quiets down paddle on boat noise a lot. Then I installed 4 sturdy wire loops -- 2 front and 2 back to structural elements under the bumper. I had two ropes to the canoe front and back with big ass clips on them. the back ropes were fixed length, I would clip them on and then tie off the front ropes using the same type of big hardware store clip. -- then I would slip a ratchet strap through the open back doors and tighten that down around the boat.
This could be done with the foam blocks that they sell for car top canoe toteing also.

Could I put these on the stock cross bars? Would they work for longer trips?
Edit: Also, don't have a kayak. Looking for canoe stuff.

Not sure if you're set on doing something vertical, but if you can tolerate parking them on the ground I highly recommend the Bike Hand Bike Rack. I believe they make some dual racks as well, but I like the single ones for portability.
The mechanism works well to retain the wheel from front or back and it even works with my 2.4" knobby MTB tires.
Lol.

Either you didn't look, at all. Or you misunderstand what airline luggage policy means when they mention linear inches (height + width + length).
Anyone have experience bringing their bike on Amtrak (specifically in the northeast)? I’m thinking of heading down to NYC from Boston for Grant’s Tomb crit, but don’t a car and don’t know anyone else heading down. Looking at Amtrak, none of the options offer bicycle transport as an option... so- I’m thinking of buying a bike box (specifically this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0D9AMM/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1518398433&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bike+box+for+air+travel&dpPl=1&dpID=41Fem2RUCtL&ref=plSrch) to pack my bike in and carry on. Not sure how the conductors will feel about the large case though.
It's this thingy. It's an over the door mount with a plate for the back wheel to avoid wheel scuffs. I have two of them and like them, the only real problem is they make the door they're on more or less useless since you'll tend to swing the bike into the doorframe before you get it open enough to use (obviously depending on your exact configuration). That's okay because the door pictured is the door to my utility closet which I rarely need access to. I used zip ties to attach the rear wheel plate instead of screws as suggested, on the other door without slats I used a 3m command strip.
There is! The Yakima fairing is just under $100 depending on what size you go with (I’m not entirely too sure which size would work best. Most likely 46” or 52”).
Yakima WindShield, 46" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0171A6KKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ThWcBbVNFNG6S
Wouldn't this do the trick?
I have this one and it SUCKS. Tips over.

This is the one ended up ordering on Amazon . It is a little different than ops but basically the same thing. You also just search 'Single bike stand' and of course you can probably just hit up a bike shop.
Looks similar to this
I got this for my Specialized Camber and it works great. I like how it locks with a quick clamp vs just a spring loaded mechanism like some of the other brands. Plus it is a bit cheaper than the Yakima.
