How would you tie bikes onto these?

As far as I know, I do not believe there are any attachments to hold a bike

There is a vertical support to connect the center post of the bike. Connect to the ladder on the other end. Velcro ties from Amazon work well

I don't know your specific bike. You should need nothing else to mount them to your bike. I personally would recommend getting mounting brackets. This would assure bags and bike be protected from rubbing against each other.

Pull a single pin and it folds down. Catch is that it won't fold down with the bikes in place.

Goooooood question!!!! No instructions on "how to attach". I used zip ties through one of the holes to attach to hanger. Not especially pleased with result.

Go to youtube and enter rope ratchet hangers, a few videos to choose from. Like you, I had no idea about these, but they do look useful.

Topeak also makes a rack that fastens in the pre-threaded holes on the bike frame near the rear wheel hub. Reply back if you have any questions and I'll get you a link to the other type of rack

That pump mounts using zip ties for the bit that stays on the bike. The pump secures to that mount with pressure clamps and a Velcro strap.

I am sure you could drill them and zip tie them. They definately need something like that if used on a deck. Keep in mind that they have metal rods between each section to hold them together. I was going to use them on my deck, but, decided to go get PVC fence section from Lowes instead. They were just too short for my use.

Any rack will do... These are the best! The only thing to keep in mind is that they need to hook onto something at the bottom of the rack where the wheel and frame meet. I angle the quick release lever at a 90 degree angle so that I can use this.... Or i use the triangle that the rack makes when it meets the bike frame.Hope that answers it.... AND GO FOR IT! these are the easiest bags i've ever used.

no really.. it uses zip ties so when you are going to put them on the next bike.. just cut the zip ties and get some new ones from home depot.. the kit brings a pair of metal ties.. i didnt use them

I have used similar desk bikes before and hooked a strap (spare shoelace) around a wheel (on the chair) and on the bar of the bike. Worked wonderfully, though was a bit strange to get on at first.

We did not connect them in any way. we have them arranged as a sectional on our deck, but not "fastened" together. They seem to do well that way. But I like your suggestion of zip ties. Maybe around the feet/legs. I'm going to try that myself.

I would make a template of cardboard first then punch holes for mounting points. beauty is you waste nothing and find the best mount points for your bike and like before it has been said use zip ties.

There is a metal ring in each corner. So it's certainly possible to simply tie directly to those; however a fastener kits with clips and a tensioner makes it a much much easier install. It's all about convenience. If you're putting it up in a permanent location, with never an intention to move it or take it down and put back up (and you're good with knots), then I might just tie off directly, but if it's seasonal or you'll want to take it down on occasion, I'd invest $10-20 in the fasteners.

You just tie them to a rail, but if you want to mount them or remove them quickly, I recommend buying the rail mounts as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MJKKKO/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1374115827&sr;=8-7π=SL75

While you can place the two pulleys as close together as possible, the way the pulleys and the hooks are oriented might not be optimal for hooking to a wheel -- unless you had bars running through the spokes.I wouldn't do this if I were you -- the hooks are very narrow and the bike almost certainly will fall off and kill your face.Cheers.
