Panniers can be used on both the front and rear racks to balance the load. Heavier items should be placed lower to the ground to lower the center of gravity and enhance stability.

  2. May 10, 2017 · One advantage to having weight on the front wheel is that as you turn, it will turn with you--unlike weight over the back wheel. However, too much weight on the front, especially if the center of gravity is too high, will cause you to over steer, or have to steer very rigidly.

    John Perlmanalso made an interesting point. He wrote, “I keep my bikes in exactly the manner described, hanging from one wheel in the back of the garage. I realized after driving all over town one hot summer day that I was parking this hot engine right under the bikes. It takes hours to cool off and a lot of that heat is escaping through the radiat...

    Ed Downey shared this cool tip: “For under $9 each, I went to Harbor Freight and purchased four of their Bicycle Lifts. They work great in my garage, and with them hung on the ceiling I still have six feet of head clearance below the bikes.” Ed’s bike lift solution hangs bikes right-side-up, by the seat and handlebars, not the wheels. I like the co...

    Since last week, I was able to get a few more photos to show bikes hanging with hooks in various configurations. The description is below each photo. You can see in this one how bicycles hang nicely with hooks screwed into a wall. These hooks are in a wood wall.
