Having grown up in central London, my thoughts on this would be for pedestrians dashing across the road and only looking one way with disastrous results. Even on cycle tracks, people forget about us cyclists coming along.
So far as hanging my bike outside, no way, some little cretin would probably find a way to damage it, especially in London.
Not sure if it happens so much elsewhere but invariably when you walk around central London, more often than not you will come across a bike that has been locked up with it's wheels kicked in!

I agree two-way biking would likely be a problem for pedestrians. I almost got mowed down by a wrong-way biker a few days ago.
As far as vandalism, yes, wheels get kicked in here, too. I'm sure there's a way to damage a hanging bike, and someone would figure it out. Strong winds would be a problem, I would think.
