Mattmattpedals@mastodon.onlineOct 11, 2026, 3:47 PM@wlukewindsor @jerzone Particularly when you’re expected to hang it upside down. GWR imagines its tiny cupboard will accommodate two bikes hanging side by side, one handlebars up and the other handlebars down. Lifting the heavier back end of a bike while the front wheel turns all over the place is really difficult. And probably pointless because the hook is too small for all but the skinniest tyres anyway.

@mattpedals @wlukewindsor I am getting better at stripping bags off and removing front wheel, but should have removed bottom bracket instead of lifting bike over.
