I take the bike and hang it on the wall by back wheel, so I don't stretch out the fork. I hang my other bike next to it, so it's not lonely at night. They sing each to each other. Nothing worse than having a lonely bike alone in the hallway or bedroom.

Just like this with my Vitus Carbone:
BTW, that's a Topeak folding stand holding up my bike. It works pretty well indoors or outdoors as you can see. Don't use it as a shop stand though, it's a little bit fragile. Just good for mostly parking purposes IMO.

stole your bike
Sorted. Case closed.
I asked, she said "ok, just put them in the corner by the window" and that was it.

sorry to create a thread taken so unseriously. Would you treat a carbon bike worth $3,000 the same as one worth $600? You would think cyclists are a tight knit group who do anything to help out other cyclists, but tons of times in these forums the cycling "elite" guys have to lash out on the beginners or people who do not know much about cycling. There is so much criticizing and sarcasm when people are legitimately trying to learn or ask questions.

now this may sounds like a dump question, but if you lean your bikes against something can they become untrue? Like can the wheels become untrue and can the handlebars become not as straight?

Absolutely amazing. Someone can do everything right and then, STORE AT 72.3???? Anything over 69.2 is excessive.

Be tender with the stand clamp though, that can do some injustice.
