A stand for supporting at least one bicycle may include a plurality of tubular frame members including a plurality of generally linear portions, a plurality of angled portions and a plurality of U-shaped portions. The stand also may include a foot having a generally planar bottom surface and an upper surface adapted for operatively engaging one of the U-shaped portions, a wall attachment for coupling a top of the stand to a wall, and a plurality of holders slidably coupled to the generally linear portions. Each of the holders may comprise a band surrounding a portion of the generally linear portions, a hook extending downward and outward from the band, and compressible portions that hold the hook at a desired position along the generally linear portion. In addition, the frame members may include swaged ends and spring-loaded pin assemblies for easy assembly and disassembly of the stand.

A stand according to claim 1, further comprising a second foot substantially similar to said foot. 3. A stand according to claim 1, further comprising a wall attachment for coupling a top of said stand to a wall. 4. A stand according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of holders comprise a rubberized coating. 5. A stand according to claim 1, wherein each of said holders comprises a band surrounding a portion of an outer surface of a corresponding one of said generally linear portions and a hook extending from a lower end of said band. 6. A stand according to claim 1, wherein each of said holders comprises a band surrounding a portion of an outer surface of a corresponding one of said generally linear portions, a generally planar portion extending from one end of said band and a second generally planar portion extending from a second end of said band, and further wherein said holder is held at a desired position along said generally linear portion by compressing said generally planar portions. 7. A stand for holding an object, comprising: a plurality of releasably engaged, tubular frame members, including a first plurality of generally linear members, a second plurality of generally linear members, a plurality of angled members and a plurality of U-shaped members having a first end and a second end,wherein a bottom of one of said first plurality of generally linear members directly couples to said first end of a lower U-shaped member and a bottom of one of said second plurality of generally linear members directly couples to said second end of said lower U-shaped member, said lower U-shaped member providing a lateral connection between said first plurality of generally linear members and said second plurality of generally linearly members, said lower U-shaped members being located entirely in a plane passing through all points of said first plurality of generally linear members and said second plurality of generally linear members and,wherein said first plurality of generally linear members are substantially coplanar with said second plurality of generally linear members;wherein a top of one of said first plurality of generally linear members couples to a bottom of a first angled member and a top of one of said second plurality of generally linear members couples to a bottom of a second angled member and,wherein said first end of an upper U-shaped member couples to a top end of said first angled member, and said second end of said upper U-shaped member couples to a top end of said second angled member;a surface-mounting attachment configured to engage said upper U-shaped member and to engage a mounting surface;a first holder configured to hold2 said object in a horizontal configuration, said first holder slidably coupled to at least one of said first plurality of generally linear members; anda second holder configured to hold said object in a horizontal configuration, said second holder slidably coupled to at least one of said second plurality of generally linear members. 8. A stand according to claim 7, further comprising: a foot having a generally planar bottom surface and an upper surface adapted for operatively engaging said lower U-shaped member. 9. A stand according to claim 7, wherein at least one frame member includes a swaged end for engaging the interior of an adjacent frame member. 10. A stand according to claim 7, wherein each member in said first plurality of generally linear members and said second plurality of generally linear members includes a swaged end. 11. A stand according to claim 7, further comprising a plurality of spring loaded pins extending from at least some of said plurality of releasably engaged frame members and a plurality of respective openings in a plurality of adjacent frame members, wherein said plurality of frame members are coupled to said plurality of adjacent frame members by releasably engaging said spring loaded pins with said respective openings. 12. A stand according to claim 7, said surface-mounting attachment including an opening on a rear surface for engaging and surrounding at least a portion of said upper U-shaped member. 13. A stand according to claim 7, wherein said first holder comprises a band surrounding a portion of an outer surface of a generally linear member, a plurality of portions extending rearward of said generally linear member, and a hook extending away from said generally linear member. 14. A stand according to claim 13, said first holder further comprising a fastener extending between said plurality of rearward extending portions and a handle coupled to said fastener, whereby tightening said fastener decreases a distance between said plurality of rearward extending portions. 15. A bicycle stand, comprising: a frame consisting essentially of a plurality of releasably engaged frame portions including a first portion comprising a first plurality of generally linear members, the first portion having an upper end and a lower end, a second portion comprising a second plurality of generally linear members, the second portion having an upper end and a lower end, a third portion comprising a member having a first end and a second end, said third portion coupling to said lower end of said first portion at said first end, said third portion coupling to said lower end of said second portion at said second end, and a fourth portion comprising a member having a first end and a second end, said fourth portion coupling to said upper end of said first portion at said first end, said fourth portion coupling to said upper end of said second portion at said second end,wherein said third portion provides a lateral connection between said first portion and said second portion, said third portion being located entirely in a plane passing through all points of said first and said second portions;wherein said frame has a continuous perimeter that comprises a path along the entire length of said first, second, third, and fourth portions; andwherein said fourth portion extends away from a mounting surface at a fixed angle and said first and second portions are spaced from said mounting surface;the stand further comprising a surface-mounting attachment configured to engage said fourth portion and to engage said mounting surface; andtwo pairs of holders with a first holder from each pair slidably engaging said first portion and a second holder from each pair slidably engaging said second portion, each pair of holders configured to hold a bicycle in a horizontal configuration. 16.
