Gravity Racks
So I just moved to a new apartment and want/need to get a bike rack for my two bikes. I was looking at the ones that just lean against the wall, since I don't want to put big screws in the wall and the ceiling will not work with a floor ceiling system. I was wondering if anyone had one, especially the wooden ones and know how well they work. I dont really want my bikes falling over or on me. Or slipping across the floor. Thanks

instead of buying, have you considered building? I ended up building one for my apartment because all the ones i could have bought were either flimsy, ugly or overpriced. the total cost of mine was under $30, it was done in two saturdays, and it's bomb-proof. I've got a pic at

That is a nice rack and I do like the idea of building one myself, only I lack the space and tools to build it in. I am looking at the wooden ones online mostly so I have no idea how strudy they actually are. Hence looking for input. They dont look bad in the photos.
