    We Do!

    We have about 7 bikes hanging in our garage and three in a standing rack. It does give room in the garage for working on them (DH likes to piddle with his bikes). They come off the wall about 2 feet so we can't park a car in there. Since the space is smallish (built in the 1940s), we can't get either of our cars in there anyway (too tight).
    I also had a small condo before I got married and mine hung in my office in a corner. It didn't interfere with the space I needed. I guess it depends on how much space you have to work with.

    Is there a spot for you to put a wheel hanger in or near a corner? That way little room is taken up.

    We have 8 bikes in a small 2 bedroom apartment -- 4 in the kitchen, 2 in the hall, and 2 in the living room. We have wall racks that hold two bikes each. As long as you have some wall space they work great. Good luck.

    i was thinking about the wheel hanger in a corner.......hmmm.

    good to hear that it can be done!

    if anyone has photos of bikes hanging inside the house in little spaces...I'd sure like to see them!

    thanks!

    We have an extra whole bathroom where we only need a quarter bath. In winter, two bikes hang over the tub.

    thanks Trek.......what Susan has goin on at TE is one thing that could work in front of a door we don't use....

    BUT I have a friend who said that hanging yr bike by the front wheel will warp it....so is there a way to support the bike close to the middle or bottom? Take some of the weight off the hanging wheel???

    deltacycle has the hanger...

    OR..I JUST WENT TO LOOK AT IT..LAND IT DOESN;T SO MUCH HANG AS HOLD....IS THAT POSSIBLE?
    sorry for the caps
