Bike Storage?

Will it negatively impact the rims/wheels if I hang my bike on a ceiling hook from the rear or front wheel?

If so, what's the best way to store bicycles with an eye for making most of the space?

Thanks.

No you will not negatively impact the wheels of the bike. I have a road bike and a mountain bike which I have been hanging for years. If you think about it a bike ways about 30 pounds on average, and an average male weighs 160 pounds. At any given time when you are riding the bike the 2 wheels are approximately carrying 80 pounds each. So it goes to reason that when you are hanging the bike the wheel is only bearing a load of 30 pounds instead of its regular 80, which is not very much.
