A simple way to hang your bike in the cellar away from young hands and cat's tails.
I spent less than $3 and an hour's time getting this done with the "help" of a two year old.

A quick trip to the hardware store:
- 1/4" x 3-3/4" Lag Thread Screw Eye - Qty:2
(Other sizes will do fine, just make sure the
carabiner fits the eye and there is
sufficent thread to hold the bike up)
- 3" Carabiner 150 lbs rated
(Again other sizes are fine, just get one
with enough strength to hold the bike and
perhaps a swinging 2 year old...)
- Webbing
(I had some old webbing on hand, but nearly
any decent webbing will do)

Makes it harder for an adult to move.
I've also hung bikes from the headstock only, after removing the front wheel the handle bar turns 90 degrees either way and takes up less space. The front forks are pokey-outey though.
Pro - I fit another bike against the wall below it taking no extra space. Both are locked to an eyebolt using a long chain and padlock
Con - the damn handlebar sticks out, and since it rests against the wall... well it really hurts banging into it.
