Everything starts from a problem: my workshop is running out of space because of the many bikes i own
To save space, i thought about placing bicycles in height
To achieve this support it will be necessary to weld
I used 2mm welding electrodes
Supplies
- 150 cm steel bar
- 1 long screw
- plastic wall plug
- bicycle inner tube (optional)
- steel paint (optional)
Step 1 : Cut the Pieces to the Right Size for the "U" Part

I chose to make the angles this way to make it look nicer
Step 2 : Weld

Step 3 : Paint
I chose an anti-rust black paint
Step 4 : Finishing

Once the paint is dry, I wrapped bicycle inner tube around the support so it wouldn't damage the frame of my bike
Also you need to dril a hole to put the screw on
To fix it on the wall i used a wall plug in the concrete
Step 5 : the End
