Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

There was an article written somewhere a while back about this. Apparently because a wheel is a stressed system it doesn't hurt it, even with a heavier bike. FWIW my heavier bikes sit on the floor or are on low frame racks...I am not about to throw my back out trying to get something the size of a DL-1 on an overhead hook!
