Wall-mountable bicycle holder: options and description

Residents of large cities increasingly prefer such an environmentally friendly and healthy transport, like a bicycle. However, the real problem here may be finding a place for the convenient storage of an iron horse. In order to save valuable living space engineers have developed a special holder for the bicycle wall, which is a simple and elegant bracket.

Types of holders

The bracket can be presented in the following variants:

• Attachment for holding by the frame;
• Wall-mounted hook-holder for bicycle for wheel;
• Folding fastening;
• Ceiling bracket;
• Rack in the form of a wooden frame.

Next, consider each solution separately, try to disclose the advantages and disadvantages of holders for a bicycle.

Wall mount for frame

Such a holder for a wall-mounted bicycle is most often used by owners of modest living space, owners of small apartments. In this case, the bike becomes an original element of the interior.

The holder for the bicycle is mounted on the wall in the form of hooks, which are fixed on a smooth surface by suction cups or fasteners. The latter are mounted behind the bicycle frame in several places, providing it with a horizontal position during storage.

To this option it is recommended to resort to the owners of housing, which is not overloaded with furniture. Only in this case, the bicycle suspended from the brackets will not cause unnecessary discomfort and spoil the appearance of the room.

Fasteners per wheel

The wall-mounted bicycle carrier with the fixation behind the wheel is not as convenient as the previous version, since it does not allow the vehicle to be stored in a position parallel to the wall. In this case, there is enough free space to accommodate a bike that hangs vertically.

The optimal solution is to mount it for installation in narrow pantries, on balconies. One of the most reliable options here is the wall hook for the Cyclotech bicycle, the photo of which is presented in this section.

In general, the placement of such brackets in living rooms is not a very sensible idea, because you will have to constantly walk around a bicycle suspended perpendicular to the wall.

Folding Mount

The presented version of the bracket is more thoughtful than the above solutions. Folding holder for bicycle wall has the form of a frame with protruding elements. To the latter, hooks attached to the flexible elastic material are attached to the pivoting mechanism. This design allows you to bend the holders in the event of placing the bike for storage and quickly remove them for the first time.

Ceiling brackets

One of the most perfect solutions is a tool for storing a bike under the ceiling. Such devices have a complex structure: they contain several fasteners fixed to the ceiling, a system of cables and block mechanisms, a set of fixators with hooks.

To hang a bicycle to the ceiling with this bracket, it is enough to lower the cables, fix the frame with hooks and clamps, tighten the bike upward, activate the block mechanisms. In the presence of high ceilings, the presented mounting option will save an impressive amount of free space in the room.

Wooden frame

If desired, you can make a rectangular frame for bicycle storage. If you place a bicycle in a wooden frame, there is no need to lift it and descend from a height. Also there is no risk of accidental falling of a bike on a head that quite often happens in case of operation of standard wall fastenings. When making a wall frame on request, the design can provide shelves for convenient storage of spare parts and accessories.

Manufacturers

Among the manufacturers that manufacture the bicycle storage brackets, the following companies deserve attention:

1. Trophy - the company produces attractive and easy-to-use fixtures. The choice here is rather limited, but the cost of production is available to a wide mass of consumers.
2. Cyclos is an authoritative British manufacturer of bicycle accessories. The products of this brand are distinguished from the general series primarily by a bright, non-standard design.
3. Knife & Saw - a company that specializes in the production of copyright wooden bikes for bicycles.
4. RAD Cycle Products is a well-known American manufacturer that develops complex mechanisms, thought out brackets and supports for storage of two-wheeled vehicles.
5. Cyclotech is one of the most popular brands. Products from the manufacturer are of moderate value. The Cyclotech wall-mounted bicycle carrier is able to secure a secure bike in a static position. This eliminates the risk of accidental falling.

Bike holder for wall mounting

The opportunity to invest in the purchase of an expensive bracket is not available to every bike enthusiast. In the absence of such a desire, one should resort to the following solutions:

1. Two wooden corners with a winding in the form of a thick layer of electrical tape, fixed on the wall - and the holder for the bike is ready.
2. In the standard wall shelf , the grooves are cut with the help of a jig saw, which correspond to the parameters of the frame of the bike.
3. Metal hooks - as in the case with wooden corners, the fasteners are wrapped with a material that avoids scratches on the surface of the bicycle. In this case, attention is paid to fixing the hooks to the wall.

Finally

As you can see, wall holders for bicycles are accessible and extremely practical devices. Such devices make it possible to place a bike even in the tightest apartment. A wide range of brackets, the possibility of their independent manufacture on the basis of existing analogues - all this creates convenience for amateurs.
