Avid cyclists will rejoice to learn that Postfossil has created a sleek set of shelves designed specifically to showcase bicycles. The shelf is simple in appearance, made of plain planks of wood brought together to form a rectangular shape.
The difference between the Shoes, Books and Bike Storage from regular shelves is its gigantic backless rectangular compartment big enough to store a bike. A clamp extends from one of the compartment's sides that grips the bike's back wheel, holding it in place. Three smaller compartments are located just below the bike for anything from books to shoes.
Bike owners who pride themselves on their retro-style or banana-seated cycles will find this shelf the perfect addition to their living area and a great excuse to show off their chic cycles.
