Absoluteblack has introduced its first bike wall hanger, combining style with functionality to meet the needs of cyclists seeking an elegant, space-saving storage solution. The design reflects a commitment to aesthetics and practicality, aiming to seamlessly integrate into modern living spaces.
Crafted from FSC-certified laminated beech and oak wood veneer, and accented with genuine Italian suede leather, the hanger is built to blend into contemporary interiors. A spokesperson for Absoluteblack emphasized the choice of materials, noting, “Wood was the natural choice to keep the design timeless and warm, complemented by Italian suede leather padding for a refined finish.”
The bike hanger, designed in the UK and handmade in the EU, uses wood sourced from European forests. The unique grain structure and natural variations in the wood ensure that no two hangers are identical, adding a personalized touch to each piece.
The design prioritizes both simplicity and functionality, catering to cyclists who want to save floor space without compromising the aesthetic of their living area. The hanger is particularly suited for those who want their bike storage to contribute to, rather than detract from, their interior design.
Addressing a common issue with wall-mounted bike storage, Absoluteblack’s research found that many existing hangers do not extend far enough from the wall to comfortably accommodate road bikes. Their design addresses this by accommodating bikes with a maximum handlebar width of 48cm (measured at the widest point) and supporting a maximum weight of 15kg (33lbs).
Each bike hanger comes complete with four bolts, universal plugs, bolt covers, and an Absoluteblack metal sticker for easy installation. Once mounted, the hanger measures approximately 315mm (12.4 inches) in width, 310mm (12.2 inches) in depth, and 140mm (5.5 inches) in height.
The Premium Oak Bicycle Wall Hanger is priced at £99.90 and is distributed in the UK by VeloBrands.
