Someone takes a Strida, some ducks in a Chinatown restaurant window, and some ingenuity and creates an ultra-cheap way of storing their bike. Both the Strida's greaseless drivetrain and its low weight make this an easier task; if I were to try hanging anything else I'd be be hung up (har har, yes I went there) on the idea of getting grease on my clothes, and whether or not the clothes rod were sturdy enough.

It's definitely folder-related though, so there you have it.

I just use a $2 vinyl-coated bike screw hook in my garage. I hang it from the stem instead of the ball joint (a delicate a location?). Still it's a nice idea for hanging the Strida in a clothes closet. There aren't many folding bikes that can do that.

Those tasty ducks remind me that I have to visit Chinatown again soon!
