Solid, stylish, and simple bike stand. September 1, 2008 We use this bike stand in a rather narrow entryway so that we can have our two bikes at the ready while not taking up too much floor space. This bike stand works perfectly for us to hold two bikes. Like others have said, if you have small children around, I'd recommend anchoring it against the wall as although it is quite sturdy, it could be pushed or pulled over without too much trouble.
Overall, certainly one of the best bike stands for the money.
Easy Space-Saver August 31, 2008 I just recently moved into a very small house (no garage) and have just recently taken up cycling (in addition to bicycle-commuting to work everyday). As such, I needed a place to safely put both bikes (one 15-year-old mountain bike, one glorious new women's road bike) in a small space. I think this bike stand is fabulous. It took me all of 15 minutes to assemble, no tools needed at all (contrary to some other reviews). Since I have solid block walls in my little rental home, I declined bolting the top of the vertical to the wall, and have had no stability issues with either one or two bikes mounted in any configuration. I generally put the road bike on top since I can't quite lift the mountain bike ... The arms are easily-adjustable (again, requiring no tools) and independently adjustable. The vinyl coating on the arms is great for the bike that's too pretty to scuff, but doesn't seem prone to wear-and-tear like a foam piece might be. It takes up very little space in my very little bedroom, and will be quite easy to pack-up and transport elsewhere. Great product.
bike rack August 30, 2008 I am very pleased with the bike rack. It takes up unused space in the corner and is easy to set up. And, it is portable if I want to move it.
works fine for men's bikes, good price August 28, 2008 works, good price, easy assembly. you definetely need to screw the top part to the wall or it will tip over(not free standing). Some Women bikes might not work.
2 bmx bikes, free stands. no wall needed August 18, 2008 Unlike some reviews, my bike rack really does free stand. i don't have to lean it against a wall.
My setup: Hardwood floors, 1 old school GT mach one bmx, and 1 ARES DITA flatland bmx bike. Both are on the rack pointing the same direction simply because if I set them in opposite directions, the wheel from the top bike, will rub against the bottom bike's handlebars.
This looks WAY better than have my bikes just lean against the wall. I give it only 4 stars because it still feels a bit flimsy. Since I'm from california, it will definitely fall down during an mild earthquake.
