Coffee,

Two questions for you: how do you store your 4 bikes in a studio?? Is it best to just place them against the wall? Are there thingamagies that you can put into the wall that won't damage the plaster that will allow you to hang the bikes up?? Or are their portable versions that you can take from place to place?

Second, I noticed that you're from Chicago: I just joined the Chicagoland bike club because they have a series of interesting rides planned. Do you recommend any good clubs to join for both touriing and training. What's the best place to train--the Lake Shore bike path?? North Branch of Chicago River path (from Devon/Caldwell to Botanical Gardens) Any other options??

I just got serious about biking in the last year, so I'm not totally up on what's up. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
