On them and to suspend the bicycle for frame. It is easy to buy such fastenings from specialized shops. It is possible to choose it at which fastening of wheel is weakened and turn wheel by 90 degrees. So the bicycle is hung up most close to wall. If not to do it, quite long hooks or fixtures will be necessary. The design option is to make such hanger of very thick shelf for books.
