Excellent idea as long as you put a hook on the end of it so the bike doesn't slide off.

Another thing I forgot to mention about my setup is that you do have to be a bit careful when taking the bike off my hooks because once I was in a bit of a rush and the spoke got hooked in the hook and broke the spoke fitting by twisting the spoke, and I spent awhile with no bike trying to fix it. I have 2000 vintage Mavic Cosmic rims which are somewhat aero and great wheels, but parts are a tad expensive, so I was in a pickle till someone suggested using a washer as a spoke fitting. worked perfect.

My ceiling is quite high so it makes a nice little stretch at the end of the ride to put the bike up. : )
