Bike friends! Am I wrong that this is a perfectly okay way to store a bike? I’m assuming the weight of the bike on one tire is no big deal compared to my weight (plus the bike’s weight) on two.

My brother stored his mountain bike like that over a winter and had some issues related to hanging (according to the bike shop). But in terms of weight, don’t give it a secind thought.
