New Kitnetik magnetic kit hanger funding on Kickstarter
The Kitnetik has three tiers to give multiple storage options, with space for shoes and gloves on top and bib shorts, jacket and jersey underneath as an example of one combination.

see.sense raises more than twice its Kickstarter goal
It can be mounted to any radiator, and is compact enough to store in most wardrobes while still fully loaded so you don't find yourself fumbling around for kit in the mornings. The inventor Tim Hoyle said of his innovation: "I got the idea for the product because my wife was always asking me to put cycling kit away, and I was always asking here where she’d put my gloves etc. The product is aimed at cyclists and runners, and is a way of drying organising and quickly storing all of the kit required for these sports."
The strong, rubber coated magnets allow quick mounting of the product to most central heating radiators, and there's a nylon strap to pick it up all in one piece. Kitnetik say it's also useful for camping holidays, or as a solution for keeping your kit neatly stored at work or the gym.
There's no RRP yet on Kitnetik's website, but you can get one with a £35 backing on Kickstarter for a December delivery. Check out the campaign page here.

Yeah, it's not a bad idea (there is a genuine problem) but it doesn't offer much more than a radiator mounted airer. Even as something that is more purpose built for cycle kit the price is too prohibitive for me.
I think it does, you can store the whole lot away very quickly. Whilst you're still taking your kit off your traditional airer and putting it on hangers or folding it to put into drawers then storing your airer in the cupboard under the stairs. With this it's just straight to your storage location, job done, sit back down. Over and entire year that's a lot of time saved.
If I am honest, I have absolutely no idea how Husdon dries my clothing when I return from a spin around my county.
Yeah. Bit of a load of cods really.
What's wrong with chucking it on the floor
But.... but.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Radiator-Airer-Adjustable-Drying-Clothes/dp/B007TFPOA0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1508773123&sr=8-2&keywords=clothes+radiator+airers
I sort of like the idea.. but I'll never buy one..
I hope it works for those people with limited space, limited radiators, good interior airflow, no damp, no clothes horse, tumble dryer and aren't partial to a bit of crafting themselves. Yes all best luck to them!
My workplace ticks all those boxes so I am very tempted to to buy one for work. I hate having to cycle home in damp kit from the cycle in because there is no way to hang kit anywhere near the radiator in the changing room.
Concept has a fundamental flaw, relying on the heating to dry the clothes. We ruin our homes drying clothes this way as the evaporated water has to go somewhere, often generating damp. If they take a few more steps, enclosing it in a damp absorbing covering with a simple electric heater then I would be interested.
Good advice there from Graham...
Also remember never to boil a kettle indoors. Cooking pasta, using a steam iron and showering are also big no_no's in my house.
I actually really like the idea, but spending £35+. No thanks
Don't forget about breathing out - there's lots of moisture in outgoing breaths. Personally, I made a full-body moisture reclamation device in preparation for the forth-coming water wars.

Have clothes horses stopped being made then?
They still make them http://www.argos.co.uk/browse/sports-and-leisure/fitness-equipment/exerc...
Yeah, nah.
Hmmm - £35 or make your own with some ordinary hangers, some glue and a couple of magnets.
Yeah but it'll be shit
Well, put a bit of effort into it, then.
