CYCLOC

This looks interesting. A vertical bike rack that looks good and is perhaps, unobtrusive. Looking like a plastic flower pot designed by Phillippe Starck, the Cycloc Bicycle Storage is made of 100% post industrial plastic and retails for $135 from Zwello or my Amazon Store. According to the site, it "mounts your favorite vehicle to an interior wall space. The sound construction fits a wide range of bike frames. Additional storage located within the cup-shaped storage unit."

Remember to mount your rack on a stud! I have purchased and installed quite a number of bike racks available out there and quite frankly many of them cannot withstand the weight of a mountain bike or the constant 'on/off' action which causes the rack to shift (just STEER CLEAR of the tension pole variety - bike racks must and should be mounted on the wall or ceiling).

As for Cycloc, I have not tried it but am interested. If it's made of the same sturdy and tough plastic that bed-risers are made of, it might just, if I may, hold up. Measures Dia 9.8" D 11.8"

+ Bike sharing in Denver Colorado, see if it'll work in B-Cycle.
