Cold Weather DIY for cycling
I finally got tired of leaning my bike against the wall of my office/man cave and put together a wall mounted bike rack. Now I have one place for my bike and accessories, shoes, etc. I know I could have purchased something but what's the fun in that when you own tools? I used ladder hangers for the bike and added a 24 inch shelf on top for accessories. Everything came from Home Depot for less than $30.00.

Nothing I've made comes close to being so elegant, but I've found that closet shelf brackets are cheap and handy for hanging bikes. These are like a shelf bracket, but with a hook on the end that's usually for a clothes rod. You can slip a piece of innertube over the hook to protect your paint.

Thanks and yes, the bike is far enough from the wall that I can do basic things, lube chain, etc. I am going to run power up the wall so I can put a USB charger for the lights there one day.
