I live in a 600 square foot apartment in NYC. I have two bikes that take up about 1/2 the apartment. Anydoy know of an efficient way to store the bikes in my apartment? Is there such a thing is a wall mount for my bike? So I can store the bike on my wall and open up some floor space?

You can find several racks that allow you to store two bikes against a wall on www.performancebike.com or www.nashbar.com. The particu;ar model I have leans against the wall and lets you stack one bike on top of the other. Other models extend to the ceiling and let you mount two or even four bikes.
Stay away from the Delta Michaelangelo, though -- I bought one and junked it because it was a piece of junk.

I actually just got one of these a couple weeks ago, and I JUST got it to work two days ago. The problem I see with this rack is that at a minimum, it holds the bikes 18 inches away from the wall. In my case, I was putting it near a dorway, and the bikes ended up blocking over half of the doorway. What to do?
I ended up putting on some old fork mounts instead of the wire bike holders, and now I have one bike on each side held vertically, in plane with the wall, and the handlebars are only 1/2" away from the wall (instead of a good 12" or more).
I'm not saying that this rack won't work for you. But it's just something to think about before shelling out $90.
