Hanging My Bike With Drop In Ceiling?
Hey guys I have a 2005 Cannondale and I would like to bring it back to school with me, but at school we have drop in ceilings throughout our whole place, and I wanted to see if there was anyway for me to hang my bike from the drop in ceiling. I've googled it already but I had no luck I was wondering if you guys had any idea of what I could do?

You'll want to get above the drop-ceiling and tie on to something(s) substantial. Wire hangers used judiciously have usually worked for me. You can route your hangars down where a junction is, so the damage to tiles is easier to hide

you shouldn't directly from the drop ceiling, but remove one of the tiles and see whats up there. mount a hook up there in the actual ceiling. or maybe make any extension from the actual to drop ceiling?

look up in the ceiling
go buy whatever type of binder or bolt and make your own hanger
note
it is illegal to attach to any electric, fire alarm wire hanger, sprinkler pipe, or ceiling hanger already in place
if you get busted by facilities expect to lose your room

I thought about hanging my bike off the wall but I swear our walls at school are not drywall and also we do not have wood studs in our walls.

Plenty of non-intrusive ways to hang a bike.
For example:
Performance has many options - you can probably find them cheaper elsewhere too.
