Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

The weight of your bike on the spokes is way less than the force applied to them by hanging your weight off of the spokes when you ride the bike. There is no way hanging a bike could damage your wheel.
