I think one of the reasons I find myself kind of obsessed with the various ways of storing bicycles that seem to be proliferating the scene is that they mostly cater to the idea of living in smaller, more urban spaces. And, they underscore the idea of the bicycle being right at hand as you head out the door of your apartment or home to run errands, head to work, etc.
With that in mind this is a pretty nifty design if you have a smaller space that you're living in that requires a more vertical storage solution. I particularly like the cubbies on the right side. But before you get out that credit card it is probably a good idea to go get some wood or ask that friend of yours who is a carpenter to help you build your own. Apparently this is supposed to run over $3000.

I've seen stuff like this - I guess it looks ok, but I wonder, if you really did have a small apartment, wouldn't the bike sticking out like that still block the hallway? It would make it pretty tight getting through mine, at least. Since my apartment is so small, I actually have a folding bike, so I don't need to worry about this kind of contraption. (A full-size bike that costs way less than $3000 and can be stored inside in winter? I'll take that over a hallway blocking bike cubby any day. But to each their own...)
Interesting concept. If one can afford it, I suppose it would be alright. Personally, I would go for something cheaper or get a folder.
Paz :)
