Let’s face it, if you love your bike you probably could look at it all day. Some bikes not only look like fine art but come darn close to costing as much! And yet, many times bikes are leaned against the wall, or hung upside down from hooks that could just as easily be used for a ladder in the garage.
If that’s outrageous, and you know you want to show off your bike, consider the Bike Valet, and over-and-under cantilevered mount that uses gravity to keep the rear end of the bicycle’s top tube resting on the upper surface, which in turn has the front end swing up and press against ht underside of the other arm. The bike is firmly held in place, and while it will work with unique tubing of carbon fiber frames, it does require the traditional diamond design – thus an old-school “girl’s bike” won’t hang so neatly.

Bike Valet, which is currently raising funds via a Kickstarter program, is the brainchild of Sacramento furniture designers Steven Tiler and Stephanie Birch. Apparently if you “kick” in $75 now, you’ll get one when they hit production – selling for $95 later.
