Though more and more city dwellers are taking up bikes as transportation, it's safe to say that few have the luxury of storing them in roomy garages. Luckily, designers have been hard at work developing different solutions for accommodating urban cyclists, especially those who live in small apartments. Here, for example, are 10 innovative products that make biking-while-living-small a convenient and, dare we say, stylish lifestyle.
Cycloc Hero is a new line of minimalist and versatile cycle storage. The three-part system comes in seven different colors. £39.95 (~$61.30), Cycloc.
Available in matte and gloss finishes, these striking but streamlined helmets from Sahn essentially double as pieces of art. $129, Sahn.
The Michelangelo Two-Bike Gravity Stand uses adjustable arms that can accommodate all sorts of bike sizes and styles. $49.99, Amazon.
Bike-handle hunting trophies act as storage racks in this line by Austrian designer Andreas Scheiger. €230 (~$256), at Scheiger's online shop.
