Cheers,
I bought 4 closet rod hangers. They are triangular braces with a curved end to hold a closet rod. That curved end is perfect for a top tube of a bicycle to rest in and the flat part of the top of the brace is a great place to put a shelf to hold your bicycling accessories. i put up 2 strips of wood 1" by 2" and mounted 2 of the braces to each strip. i drilled a 3/16" hole in the top of each wood strip and in the ceiling. i then screwed in a cut off bolt into the top ends of the wood strips. That bolt protruded an inch or two and fitted into the hole in the ceiling. This allowed the strips to be supported without having to drill holes into the wall. I hung two bicycles on that setup. Here's what one of the bicycles looked like on the upper pair of braces.

You could use a router to chamfer the edges of those strips of wood and stain or paint them to make them look better.
