A very convenient device which may be attached to the side of a house or any other support, to hold a bicycle, is shown in the accompanying drawing. It consists of a gate hinge with one leaf secured to a block. The block is nailed to the side of the house. The other leaf of the hinge, which should be a very long one, is bent over at the end to form a hook. This is caught over the upper horizontal bar of the bicycle frame. The bicycle wheels are placed close to the house, so that the upper part leans outward, and is held from falling by engagement with the hook.
