Wall-hanging bicycle storage that you can stick your lock through
 

7.2
Editors' Score

What you need to know: Cycloc

Tags: bike
We like:
The simplicity of the look; ability to hang bike in mid-air; space for bike helmet/gloves etc.
We don't like:
That it's difficult to install; that you need a lot of space; how easily it could be unbolted; the size of the hole for locks
SmartPlanet judgement:
If your need for bicycle storage and your space and aesthetic taste all match up with the Cycloc, then it's a very stylish way of de-cluttering the hall. But for many, it's not the right buy. If you've got an odd-shaped bicycle, if you're planning on storing multiple bicycles and don't have loads of room or if you need your bike to be held securely, then absolutely avoid this product. Plus, if you don't want to hoist your bike over your head in a narrow hall, don't like messy DIY jobs or your brickwork's in a poor state, you probably won't find it to be the right fix.

If you've got a minimalist loft apartment and have enough wall space to store your bicycle on the wall -- and you have a 'normal' bike -- then the Cycloc will be great for you. Deviate from any of the above, and problems arise. Continue reading...

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Brompton M3L Folding Bike
This British-made folding bike has small wheels but goes for big money -- and is built for practicality
Dahon Jack 2008 Folding Bike
Bigger wheels do mean better speed and stability -- but a bigger, more awkward folded form, too
