In that case I would go to the hardware store and buy a bar of aluminum. Drill two screw holes for stud attachment and holes for your mount. Just paint the bar the same color as the wall, screw the bar to the wall and bolt on your mount. Make sure your bike mount bolts are on the aluminum bar pointing out to attach to your bike mount when you screw the bar to the studs. Use 3" deck screws to attach the aluminum bar to the studs and you could hang your body weight on it.
