Urban Problem-Solver / Bike Shelf
I've heard lots of my bike-riding friends complain about the impossibility of storing a bike (there's no room in the hallway, landlords won't let you leave it on the landing, and nobody in NYC has any closet space whatsoever), and this Bike Shelf from Knife & Saw solves the problem perfectly...and elegantly.
