Ceiling Bike Lift

Anyone have creative ideas to lock up a bicycle?

I recently moved to a building with no bike storage and nothing to lock a bike to. We have a wooden storage cabinet above our parking space. Is there any kind of hook we could screwn into the wooden cabinet to have something to lock the bike to, or is there any sort of "free standing" bike lock type object that anyone has used in a parking garage before? We have the actual chain and lock, just need ideas of what we can create to lock it to. Thank you!

1. i like to keep my bike inside my house.
2. I have got 13,000 dollars worth of bikes, I have a special room with all my bikes in them
3. Well if there are any open studs in the garage you can try using Flip Clip's bike storage tool. It takes about 5 min. to set up and is an easy to store and lock your bike.
4. you can get hooks to bolt into the floor primarily for motocross bikes. but im sure the principle is the same for bicycles. however you do need a concrete or tarmac floor or something similar.
5. To pontificate once again. Do not leave your bicycle outside unattended. Bring it inside with you, no matter what your dwelling is. There. I feel better. Now to you answer: The only thing I would chain my bicycle to is the collar of a trained pet 8 feet tall Grizzly Bear. Anything less will result in the loss of your bicycle eventually.
6. I would get a free standing bike rack and hang the bike on it indoors. http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=3403371
7. If you can't bring it in, remove the seat and front wheel, this makes the bike less appealing to steal. I like McG's bear idea, but it sounds like you have space issues so I'd get a striped kitty cat (ie. a skunk) to keep with the bike. And if it does get stolen it will be easy to trace down.
8. How about getting a bucket and a big chain from the hardware store--put the chain in the bucket with part of it hanging out, then fill the bucket with concrete. Then, when it dries, lock your bike to the chain. It will be very heavy and strong, and it's a pretty cheap solution. Of course, it's not 100% foolproof, but few things are.
