CyclingDeal Upright Bike Stand Floor - Vertical & Horizontal Bicycle Stand Bicycle Storage - Safe & Secure Bike Storage Rack - for Wheels Sizes up to 29" - Bike Rack Garage Bicycle Rack - Classic

I live in a small apartment in New York City. My bike isn't super fancy or anything but I'll be damned if I trust anything of mine being safe while locked up outside on the street. That's why I got this.My building is really old and the walls seem to be made of plaster/cynder blocks so drilling a wall mount isn't the most ideal in this rental apartment. Because this bike stand is freestanding, I can move it anywhere in the apartment without it needing to be near a wall.There are other vertical stands that support the bike by resting the seat post on a yoke, whereas this one has an extension that comes up to hook the front wheel while the back wheel is nestled between adjustable rollers. My seat post is so down low that it's basically nonexistent so those vertical stands are out for me. But the added benefit of the front wheel hook makes it so I don't need a velcro strap to keep the handlebar from turning around while vertical. Also with the bottom part of the mount, I can use it to hold my bike in place horizontally as it holds my back wheel in place. So in a way it's like 2 bike stands in one!All in all I am very happy with this bike stand. It's definitely my best investment for my bike in my small apartment situation. Holds my bike vertical or horizontal without needing to drill or be near a wall. Super sturdy and made of metal, so easy to build, and comes in a surprisingly small package. Fully assembled, the base itself takes up like 2 feet x 1.3 feet.

Easy to assemble, adjustable to any bike, stable, and with a minimal footprint. Short of hanging a bike from the ceiling this is the best way to minimize the space a bike takes in a confined space. It's easy to get bikes on and off as well, you don't have to have the strength to lift the bike, you just have to be able to keep the bike in a vertical position and roll it on the back tire on/off the rack. It's a thoughtful and efficient, minimal design and works well.

Got this as a Father’s Day gift for my husband to store the bike I had gotten for him as a previous Father’s Day gift. Sturdy, easy to assemble, and saves a good amount of space on our patio.

The rack is fairly lightweight so is easy to move, and it can accommodate a range of tire sizes. Although it does flex when you put the bike on or off, it feels sturdy and stable enough, and there is a counterforce set of feet to avoiding tipping back once a bike is attached. (Those feet are coated to reduce scraping, but that didn’t feel like enough floor protection, so I adhered rubber bumpers to be safe.) I would avoid using it in an area of heavy foot traffic where it could be knocked over.Assembly was simple, and the instructions very clear. Just note that bag G is packed in bag C, and bag D was inside bag A — initially, I thought they were missing. And the screws sometimes are hard to align; the oval openings can get you slightly offset, though they allow for greater fit tolerance.All in all, the stand saved 2 feet of floor space, though you need to keep that saved space open to wheel the bike in — you can’t really slide a bike in from the side. If your bike is much longer than 70”, it may not fit onto the wheel hook, FYI. Do note that the wheel guides keep your wheels straight, which means you can’t turn the front wheel so the handlebars don’t stick out so much. That’s not a design flaw, just the reality of using a mount you might not anticipate.Mounting a bike vertically requires strength to lift the bike up onto the frame’s guide rollers. Those rollers ensure proper alignment but also limit your own torque. And getting the front wheel into the retaining hook can be tricky. After a few times, your muscle memory will kick in.I don’t see the point of using this as a horizontal mount — just get a kickstand!Overall, this rack does its job. It should work nicely for most people.

This bike stand is awesome! It’s very stable and super simple to adjust to the size of your bike. I live in a small college town apartment with limited space so this storing my bike upright has been amazing. It fit exactly along the wall I thought it would and was easy to put together and build.

It is surprisingly easier to assemble when you figure out the instructions. After I figured out how to adjust it properly, it worked just fine. My apartment manager *does not* like having holes in the wall, so this solves that problem and helps free up space in my unit.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Easy to assemble. Holds bike firmly in either the horizontal ot upright positions.

Exactly what I needed. Solid, stable and sturdy upright bike stand that fits in my small apartment
