Your bike will stand tall even when you're not holding it up

Most bicycles have some pedals to stand upright, or at an angle but still mostly upright, but nothing beats bicycle mounts, so having one is usually essential to every garage, front porch or house hallways.

A new Kickstarter project is trying to raise funds, for the Clug, a wall-mounted bicycle mount you'll be hard-pressed to even see.

The reason for that is simple: the thing is tiny, and will almost meld with your wall if you chose the appropriate color.

Well, only the inside is colored, the part that will clasp around the bike wheel. The outside is white.

Unless you want it all to be done in a single color, which is possible too. 3D printing technology is useful and convenient like that.

Anyway, the Clug is made of two pieces: the Clipper and the Gripper. The former slides into the latter and voila! Instant bike mount.

With the modest funding goal of $32,000 CAD / $29,500 / €2,1464 that the Clug's inventors have set for themselves, it's clear that the project will get off the ground. Pledges have already accumulated past the two thirds mark after all.

Depending on how much money you provide, you'll get anything from an .STL file (for you to 3D print yourself) to one or more already created Clugs (made via injection molding).
