Here's how you do it. Don't. Honestly, it's not worth potentially damaging the walls, as University Housing regulations usually have explicit rules about these things. Some even go as far as to say how you can affix posters and such.
Look into something like this or this if you're looking for something that won't take up space. Even though both can handle two bikes, you could always use the top rack and utilize the space below, or allow your roommate to use it as well.
You'll save yourself the time, potential repairs, possible fines, and be able to take this with you when you move into an apartment.
Dude... https://www.amazon.com/CLUG-Bike-Clip-Bicycle-Storage/dp/B015EBXOAC
​
3M strips are your friend if you can't put anything into the walls.
Just buy a Clug. We use it for all our bikes and they work great.
Edit-Just make sure your tires are nice and inflated this is the only safety issue.
You can get 3 kayaks (maybe 4) on a properly setup "Stacker" system - Malone, Rhino, Thule and others make such systems (basically two poles that mount ontop crossbars that can fold down when not in use) Example
​
Prerequisites - you'll need a good set of crossbars & mounts that can bear the weight of 3-4 kayaks. Then get the stackers, good cam straps (6), some minicell foam blocks (6) ( two sets usually come with the stackers) and bow stern ties (6) and you'll be set! Tip - if you get Crossbars that extend past your roof by 6"+ or so inches, you may be able to fit 4 kayaks on your roof...just be sure to be careful on your turns ;-)
​
This is the stacker we used and carried 4 kayaks for a while, until we moved onto a KariTek system
This looks very similar!

If your bike is valuable, it needs a valuable case.
Buy for 500$ and then sell locally once you have finished flying with the bike. (confirm the dimensions are OK with AirCanada)

Otherwise, go to a bike store and get a bike box that matches yours - giant rectangular thing but AirCanada does not look highly on these.

It is like this one: https://www.amazon.com/BIKEHAND-Mount-Bicycle-Stand-Storage/dp/B00BW4TP7C/ They hold the bike up between the rear hub and dropout. A small downside is that the front wheel is free to move.

What about somthing like this the wife and I use it in our apt. Takes up zero space and no holes!

Or you can get something like this.
An adapter like this that creates a top tube for carrying purposes is probably your best bet.
Keep her inside with something like this.

Those are cool, I really like the look of them.
But I went with these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002BLMIQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mainly because 1) They don't require any screws or drilling into the wall. As a renter who wants his security back, I like to keep holes to a minimum. 2) Like the the Cycloc, they keep the bikes parallel to the wall rather than perpendicular. This makes getting down that hall much easier. 3) They were relatively inexpensive.
I've got two of these, and they're great... but I'll be closely monitoring this thread bc I've got 5 bikes in a 1 bedroom and am fresh out of ideas on what to do w/ the other three.
Just don't waste money on the Feedback Velo Wall Mount https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00H96DA00/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EsDsDbV7J657Z I was sucked in by the marketing spiel on this one, let me tell you, what a load of crap, it actually protrudes from the wall more when using this mount than just placing it on the ground against a wall and it doesn't leave you with any more usable floor space.
I normally like Ikea hacks for several reasons, one of the most prominent being savings/value.
I use this rack and it's been great so far, and fantastically inexpensive.
I love the Velo Hinge.
I have a row of 3 (soon to be 4) in my very small laundry room.
This is what I use
I use this one for $30: BIKEHAND Rear Hub Mount Bike Bicycle Stand Storage Rack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW4TP7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KZggzb0WQYVHY
It looks good without a bike and is surprisingly solid and sturdy; I thought it was going to be a flimsy sheet of metal, but it's rigid as anything, even when I lean against my bike doing some light maintenance/repairs.
I guess the question is whether your time to build one is worth the $10 extra you'd spend on one like this 😆

It's a surprisingly sturdy pole for the price.

If you're going Trans-Atlantic and have a nice bike it's worth it to buy/rent a hard case like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FNSS6PA/. That one will last for 10+ years with a couple flights per year. Mine has a few holes in it now (I'm not really sure how) but it's still protecting the bike and I've got black duct tape over the holes. Imagine how bummed you would be if you got a hole in your frame instead of the case.
I don't think you should get a soft case for a long flight where the baggage handlers will be doing whatever they do with your bike when it's out of your sight.
Here's the link
Photo of the room or similar space would help people give suggestions. Otherwise, for basic upright-storage I use this stand in my office.
Here you go. It was fairly simple to put together too. Also now that I am doing the math again it may closer to $45.00, I wasn't adding the tax up. Either way I am pretty happy with the turn out. At least the bikes aren't laying on top of each other when we go riding now.

I love this bike storage clip called the Clug for my small apartment. It hold the bikes securely and you barely notice the clip when not in use. It's cheap too!
Bronson and Somerset is a hot neighbourhood for bike theft, and theft in general. I've had parts stolen off of bikes locked to my front porch. Don't take chances, find room in your apartment. I suggest a Clug , or a pair of Ikea Ekby Valter shelf brackets that you can hang it up on.
Optional, you can actually use a ruler if you want. But it makes the job a bit easier and more foolproof.
When it's time to replace your chain you'll need the "punch-style" chain tool to size the new one correctly, regardless of the type of chain you currently have. But you won't need one until then, so it's up to you if you want to buy it now or later. The "plier-style" is for removing quick links, but that's mostly a matter of convenience: I just recently got one myself, until now I've just used my fingers, or maybe a bit of wire if it's stuck.
I've used these, but I'm not a big fan. For regular chain maintenance, just some degreaser on a rag is enough. For deeper cleaning there's lots and lots of ways to clean a chain, including these cleaning tools. Other options: remove and shake in a bottle, use an ultrasonic cleaner, use two nail brushes pressed together ... or just not bothering with deep cleaning. It's really up to you.
I use Simple Green for most jobs. There's bike-specific degreaser, though, if you want.
This one is definitely bike specific! There's lots of options out there, but cleaning and lubing regularly is more important than which one you use. If you ride in the rain a lot, get a wet lube. I like wax-based lubes, for what it's worth.
I use an old toothbrush. I've never bothered with the "sickle-shaped cog scrapey thing," but that's because I remove the cassette completely if it gets dirty enough to need that.
Meh, if you want. I've never needed it.
I recommend finding something that lets you work on the bike at a more manageable height. Official bike stands are expensive, but work very well. There are cheaper options that get the job done, though.
For a long time I just mounted a bike hanger like this to the wall. The bike just sits in it, not overly secure, but it's enough to get the bike to a working height, and you can pedal to work on the chain. Enough to do basic maintenance. It also doubles as bike storage. I found this works best with road bikes (narrower handlebars).
More recently, though, I made a bike stand. It's still a work in progress, but I'll post pictures of it here eventually. It's made from sawhorse brackets and 2x4's as the base, and then I use this bracket for my road bike and this bracket for my mountain bike to secure it. The front wheel comes off and clamps down, and the bottom bracket rests on the top of the saw horse, with the wheel hanging off the back. It's secure, I can work in my yard and clean the bike on it, and it was pretty inexpensive to make. And I don't have to worry about clamping to carbon, or where I'm going to clamp with the suspension in the way, etc. The only downside is you can't work on the front wheel or brakes very conveniently. My design doesn't store very compactly, though I'm sure you can find a better way if that's a concern.
Most other tools can be picked up on an as-needed bases. Cable cutters when you replace cables. Lockring tool and chain whip when you want to remove the cassette. Bottom bracket wrench when it's time to service the bottom bracket. Cone wrenches when you service the hubs. A torque wrench if you have a carbon fiber bike. Etc.
I can't help with phone mounts, so I'll let someone else make a suggestion there.
You can demount the front-wheel and rotate the handlebar and store it in a large bag (or better a designated bike-bag like this). This way it doesn't count as bike but just as "normal" luggage.
This is the one I have:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047THVIO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm very happy with it.
I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004UDLVC4/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1422072021&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&dpPl=1&dpID=41CIdJH5gVL&ref=plSrch
They are easy to install, great quality, and the two holders can vertically be adjusted, so that the bike can be parallel to the floor, regardless of the angle of the top tube. I paid 20$ three years ago.
PCS 9 from park looks solid and cheap.
This floor parking station is smaller and cheaper
Thule
I've just disassembled the bike, packed it in a couple of generic boxes and shipped it UPS. Assembled it when I got to my destination (this of course assumes you have a ship to point, a friend, an LBS, a hotel your staying at.
One of these: BIKEHAND Rear Hub Mount Bike Bicycle Stand Storage Rack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW4TP7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rleJxb1PR3226
These exist, but will be more expensive than just a few ceiling hooks.
A variety of stands and racks exist in various shapes, sizes, and heights. Google around and see what fits your space.
ANY bike lock can be busted fairly quickly with the right tools. For example this battery powered angle grinder would make quick work out of anything but the strongest U-locks or chains (Kryptonite NY Fahgettaboutit).
You aren't trying to make your bike perfectly secure; the trick is to make your bike more annoying to steal than the next bike down the row. When you lock up your bike on the go your goal should be to lock it better than another, preferably more expensive, bike also locked to the rack. At home, store it inside.
You can either get one of those crossbars that grabs the seatpost and the stem/steerer to create a horizontal holding point for the rack. Not the biggest fan of these because it's another thing to come loose and drop your bike on the highway, but it's the cheaper option.
http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Tension-Bicycle-Cross-Bar/dp/B000ELSSZE
Or you can get a new rack that holds the bike up like a platform. If you're still married to the idea of a rack that attaches to your car with straps, then this:
http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/rear-door-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-raceway-platform-2-bike-9003-_-16002
Otherwise, consider investing in a hitch mount. They're really not that expensive, most of the time are easy to install, and very stable/safe mounting point for a rack. You can also find hitch mount platform racks for cheaper than that Thule. I don't know of any cheaper strap attachment ones.
Just bolt some of these near the front of the bed: https://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Bike-Fork-Mount-Carrier/dp/B00IFW3LD8/
Use stainless hardware.
Just use one of these - https://www.amazon.com/Stoneman-Sports-DBR-9161-BK-Freestanding-Adjustable/dp/B000B91L6W
That way you don't have to put second-rate pedals and handlebars on your bike.
Got a yakima 3 bike trunk rack for 70 on nashbar. Truck rack plus an adapter bar for your frame is the cheapest option. get on the googles
https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Tension-Bicycle-Cross-Bar/dp/B000ELSSZE
A very inexpensive method for transporting your bike in the bed of your Tacoma is to purchase something this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AO7GRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_05dszbQ8H30KX
I bought 2 to transport friends bikes for a big event 4 of us went to. Screwed them to a piece of plywood and set it in the back of my F-150. Worked very very well. These are for traditional quick release axles. Amazon (and I'm sure your LBS) sells a version for through axle.
I definitely recommend a pair of shorts or bibs. For me personally it's bibs 100%. Since I got a set last summer, I haven't rode anything else.
Lock is nice if you plan to leave the bike unattended.
Waterbottles are a must.
A minimal set of tools so you can repair a flat and make adjustments on the road.
You do NOT absolutely need shoes or pedals right now. You can enjoy the bike as is and buy pedals/shoes when you are ready. Some shops will sell the bike with no pedals, others will include them. You can probably get them to throw in some cheap pedals with the sale to get you by for a while.
I also highly suggest a blinking head and tail light - as bright as possible. For day or night riding it'll help others see you.
Which bike did you end up deciding on? Your list in the other post was quite extensive and a very good list. Good luck!
I use this in a garage with tight space. Works well enough for me. You might want some that stack vertically like this if you're really tight on space. You may be able to come up with a 3d printable design of a rack like this
I have a shiny car that i don;t want to scratch too bad, and I'm just too lazy to lift my boat over my head when i load it alone, so i use one of these. Makes life a little easier.

I do this with road bikes. This was one of the main reasons I bought an HRV.
I bought a couple of fork mounts, mounted them on a 2 x 4 and used velcro strips to secure the assembly to the carpet in the HRV. Works great since the bikes don't move around in the back.
Hooks were this kind of thing. I can't find the exact ones — mine were 1/4" by 4" with machine threads so I could put wing nuts on them.
Fork mount was this one, but there are a ton of options.
In a bicycle sack!
I have two bikes, one I bought from Century Cycles, and another I got off craigslist for super cheap. The one from craigslist is my favorite, and there were a ton more on there that I loved. The one I got on craigslist goes for around $700 brand new, but I got it from the guy for I think around $280ish.
I also live in an apartment, and I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UUEF7E/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 holds both bikes just fine, and they are both large sizes (for someone around my height - 6' 2")

shit...you can even get them cheaper and STILL be better off than this guy.
I’ve also seen things like this Cross Bar adapter at my local bike shop. Could be helpful?
There are storage solutions that doesn't require drilling anything into the wall (e.g. gravity racks that simply leans on the wall, poles that extend to the ceiling, etc).

What do you guys think of this style bike rack?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000AO7GRG/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
I'm using the Malone Stax Pro 2 and love it! It comes with the foam pads, straps (4 for the kayak, and 2 for front/rear tie down (not pictured here)).
Yesterday was actually the first time using it and it all worked way better than I expected. The kayaks didn't budge at all while tightened down. I also considered the J-cradles but decided on the Malone because it is about 40 bucks cheaper, not to mention for 2 kayaks, I would have needed 2 sets of the J-cradles, which would have been around $330 total.
Feedback Velo Wall Rack
This is just an update to this thread, where a lot of us were looking for a way to store a bike in a small apartment.
I bought these for $6.25 from Amazon.
Used a stud finder to locate the joists, and drilled pilot holes into them. Screwed the hooks into place directly into the joists, made sure there was enough clearance to easily hang the bike, then locked the hooks in place with gorilla glue. Spackle, paint, and we're in business.
It turned out to be a minor pain in the ass because I had to drill twice to find each joist, and my first attempt left too much space between the bike and the wall (lots 'o ceiling holes to repair). The joists turned out to be metal instead of wood, and thus required another trip to the hardware store to get the proper tools to deal with metal joists. Overall took something like 2 hours?
e: here's a pic of the hook. the lumpiness around the hook is actually dried gorilla glue, which took longer than expected to harden and ended up getting real drippy out of the ceiling hole. I painted a bit of the hook as well so it blends in with the ceiling.
I have two bikes on this, it works OK.
Edit: It might be made by aliens, though.
Depending on whether you are just throwing your boat in the back of your trick or onto a rack there are a few different options. For the rack there are the expensive Thule and Yakima side loaders, and some cheaper Malone options that include suction rollers and extension bars.
One of the simplest items is just the simple pole with a bracket on top. Something you could easily make yourself. An example of one would be: https://www.amazon.com/Rhino-Rack-Universal-Loader-Kayaks/dp/B00C2Q3I72
With the pole you just need to get the front of your boat up onto the pole bracket and then you pick the back up and slide it over.
Oh totally man. I use the Malone Stax Pro 2. I got it on sale at a Dunham's back when I first got my kayaks so it wasn't as much as it is on Amazon. But it's definitely worth the money.
I mostly use it around town but once or twice a year, I go on a five hour trip to Virginia and get up to highway speeds with no problems.
Here's a couple more pics. 1 2
I also picked up two of these Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor at $16.96 a piece for the bikes without crossbars.
They worked very well and required zero effort to put them on or take off. There's a big spring inside that comes under tension when you stretch them in order to hook the seat post, which holds them securely.
Super simple. Takes less then 20 seconds to put them on or off.
I want to mount a bike mount on my wall and I’m concerned whether it’ll be too heavy for the wall / screws to hold it. Can anyone help please? Details are:
Seems the bike + mount will be a bit heavier than the guitars are, but given this has 3 screws I’m thinking maybe it’ll be ok.
Do you have any advice please?
Thanks
really depends on how your dorm is setup. i could just put mine under my bed w/o turning handlebars or anything. i could have put it vertically to the wall with one of these but the mtb sized one
If you're gonna drill, I can't recommend these guys enough. I use them now, but bought the free standing rack since I just got a set of carbon wheels and figure it's probably not safe to hang the bike by them.
If you're gonna hang multiple bikes, you need to be 2 stud lengths apart from each other so there's room for overlap, and you'll need probably around 40" of wall real estate per bike. I'd def. recommend drilling into studs.

Bikes you are asking is a bread-and-butter bike @ any LBS. I think you should visit your favorite LBS.
My current "go-to" bike is Momentum bikes (aka Giant.) It's designed for urban/suburban use, relatively inexpensive, and quite useful. Any LBS that sells Giant should be able to get one for you.

If the bike is step-through, you'd need a cross bar.

Lots of cheap options on Amazon. If you don't want the bar you can get a couple of these t-nuts that fit inside the track and screw the fork mount into that for an out of the way semi permanent options.

These Allen racks are pretty decent for the price. We used the 3 bike version on my wife's car for a while and it worked well. Eventually we upgraded to a 5 bike Thule rack when my wife got a new car with a 2" receiver. The Thule is nicer, but also more expensive. If you are set at the $150 price range the Allen rack is a good option. If you have a 2" receiver I would recommend going with the 4 or 5 bike version just to give you more room on the rack. The 3 bike version is a bit cramped with 3 bikes but it does work. With this hanging style rack you will probably need the cross bar adapters for full suspension bikes. Or any bike that does not have a straight top tube. Any brand will work but I linked the Allen one below since it is only $15. Also we used a bungee cord to keep the bikes from swinging.

J'ai trois vélos dans mon appart, mes deux vtt sont accrochés là dessus pour éviter de faire des trous et permettre de les changer de place facilement. Pour mon vélo de route j'ai un clug fixé sur une grosse étagère, je suis pas convaincu à 100% mais ça reste pas cher et minimaliste.
You’ll have to get an adapter. Thule and Yakima sell them.

I would advise against a roof rack for bikes though. Pain in the ass to use and everyone who’s had one runs into their garage or something else eventually destroying their bikes.
I don't know specifically of any car rack that would work, but there is an adapter you can buy for bikes without a top frame post. It's an expanding metal tube that you attach to the seat post and the fork stem, and it allows for mounting of step thru bikes onto traditional bike racks.

get to the gym and start doing shoulder presses!!
depends on the person, and what vehicle. if you can do it on the grass, you won't scratch the kayak too much if you prop up one end on the vehicle and then lift the back up.
watch out for windy days though...yikes, that will mess you up.
there are roof loaders of different types that would help:

Companies like Thule have universal adapters to go in all different sorts of aero bars. Factory or aftermarket cross bars. They tend to be a clamp style. you don’t put anything in the slots. All your accessories mount to a clamp. The clamp goes around the aero bars.
For example, I have all different type of accessories from my WRX when I had round cross bars. My CRV and I plan to get aero bars for my 19 Forester can handle all the old accessories by simply replacing the mounting adapter.
Does this help at all?

I have a 2013 Exile Comp and an Allen hitch mount rack. It works, but just barely so. I ride a large frame which is long enough so that one of the arms just fits through the space between the shock and top tube, a size medium or small would probably not work without a top tube adapter.
With a heaver bike (compared to a road bike) I would definitely recommend a hitch mount. I almost lost two bikes on the highway with a trunk mount rack as one of the straps failed. A hitch receiver for a Civic should be ~$125-200 and if you get the three bike Allen hitch rack (a great rack) for ~$150 you are looking at around ~$300, but it's a solution that will work quite well.
Did you search at all? Took me mere minutes to find these.

Clug would allow you to "hang" your bike vertically.

Take a look at something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H96DA00/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
that one even tilts into the wall for more space savings.
Two bikes fit under the bed, which I wanted for when we're visiting cities or leaving the van for an extended period of time. Having them sit on the outside is too tempting for opportunistic passers-by ;)
This particular case is a Thule "Round Trip Sport Bike Travel Case"
Looks cool. I was using these Clug mounts before, and, while they worked great, I couldn't stagger my bikes. Keeping them side by side took up way too much space.
Felt the same way, but it proved a little too challenging 12 feet up on our tiny patio :P They're on a bike hook tho so the nest is probably about two inches in diameter.
Get the real deal for $40 and avoid scratching your paint:
