The handlebar bike mount is pretty cool. The planter and vanity ideas are wack. I wince whenever I see a perfectly good bike that has been 'antiqued' and used in a window display,where it's never going to be ridden again.

This is interesting, although it appears to be a BSO, bicycle shaped object.
Here is how a friend did it, with a real bicycle. Similar, don't you think.

I actually like the bike wheel idea for hanging pots and stuff, or for spinning around dishes on the table for everyone to access. However I would think the pot rack would get pretty unbalanced if any one object was removed, even more so if multiple items were removed. The bike hanging/storage idea is nice, too. Planter and vanity are pretty dumb, I agree.
