I've probably dropped some tens of manufacturer-packaged bicycles 3-6 foot, they were practically all OK. Not that I would advocate such practice, it would be very risky. Each spring 3 of us would haul ~500 bikes into our shop storage over couple of days. The bikes are usually stored stacked up, 3 ontop vertically if you got the ceiling height[1]. Sometimes 3 vertical + 1/2/3 horizontal uptop, then you have to toss the last ones up there. End of a long day you get tired&sloppy, so sometimes one topple over or don't get all the way there... 1. http://www.camdencycles.co.uk/images/uploads/website%20Doc/bike-warehouse-boxes.jpg http://www.camdencycles.co.uk/images/uploads/website%20Doc/b...
