I wanted to make a beautiful bicyle rack which flushes the bicycle against a wall and would hold any.1.bike

  I looked at suspending the bike from things that they all share, wheels. The last issue to conquer was that bikes have varying wheelbases (the distance between.)
  This rack solves the issue by flexing downward on the leaf spring suspension until the wheels' uppermost points have reached equilibrium with the weight of the bicycle.

  When the rack flexes, items like gloves or helmet straps can be secured between the sandwiched metal. A storage location for a simple amount of equipment.

  The cold rolled steel has been embedded in solid walnut and the entire piece is secured to any 2x4 wall stud with 2 hidden screws. A flat white wall in a loft apartment goes from where a bike used to lean to a place where a bike becomes a piece of art.
