Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Why not use compliant mechanism design and make it all carbon?

Hmmm... perhaps I could sell these...

I found a solution for in the garage. I don't have anything to hang my bike from so i rubber banded 2 2x4s together and leaned my pedal on them. Holds it pretty steady. You just have to make sure that you backpedal your pedal onto the blocks so that your pedal doesn't just turn and let your bike fall over.
