Any advice on how to hang a bicycle on plasterboard wall. Help please!

[Tea]

My husband has given me the task of finding something that will hold/store his bicycle on the wall - its current home, the hallway, bothers me more than him. Unfortunately, our walls are thin dry wall/plasterboard. Please, any advice, pointers on gadgets, hooks etc gratefully received. Many thanks!

Check if you have wooden studs in your walls, if so it should be a relatively simple matter to fix hooks etc into them (if you look on any bike website like Wiggle or Evans you'll find a multitude of hanger options - my neighbour uses one of these, pricey but looks very funky: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/cycloc-solo-wall-mounted-bike-holder-1/?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=101003883&kpid=101003883&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+All+Products&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mckv|sfSiwTQ1G_dc|mcrid|295292024608|mkw||mmt||mrd|101003883uk|mslid||&mkwid=sfSiwTQ1G_dc&pcrid=295292024608&prd=101003883uk&pgrid=60972124962&ptaid=pla-521465611169&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkMDiBRDNARIsACKP1FFWsi0cwdDIda77JdFqg__dgOouPyKmb1s2mbpj0_AtBHBCEDhJZmYaAtYIEALw_wcB).

If you have metal studs then something like this should be sufficient for fixing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heavy-Duty-Plasterboard-Fixings-Brackets/dp/B01315VZ9U.

Take a look at GripIt - you can buy them from ToolStation up the top end of Lordship Lane near South Circular.

If I remember correctly I think the guy that invented them was on Dragons Den.

ETA - obviously you'll need a rack of some sort as well - these are for fixing said rack to the plasterboard wall.

Does it need to be in the wall?

These types of things: http://www.minoura.jp/english/storage/unavailable/biketower10.html

Have a spring in them which lodges them between the floor and the ceiling, and hold x2 bikes easily.

Thank you all!

I'll have a look at all of the suggestions.

Much appreciated!

Or similar from Minoura. I had one of these and it worked fine.

Tea - I?ve one like that ^^^ but better quality that I?m not using anymore if you want to buy it? Not looking for much ? and it?s in good condition.

Give Cycloc a try. As others have said, find a stud to mount it to, otherwise you can mount it to another panel of wood mounted to the wall which will spread the load more.
