Here's something I ran across. I learned this technique in one of Woodguy's classes. Heck.. everyone may already know how to do this, but someone may find it useful... Folding a Bandsaw blade

This is really good. I have several blades hanging in my shop and often run into them and loose a bit of skin or knock them off the hanger. My old hide is tough enough, but someone visiting might take exception to the experience.
Having them folded will keep them up higher and help idiot proof my shop.

David If I idiot proofed my shop, where would I work- outside? | |

LOL, I said 'Helped'
To get the ol' shop fool-proof, you'd have to take this ol' fool out of the shop.

Don't forget there is another great reference out there, too...and it is from one of our own. Tom Hintz, who is a member of NCWoodworker.net runs a website with reviews/tips/tricks/etc. He is also recently published by Fox Hill, I believe.... If you are not familiar with NewWoodworker.com, you should check it out...
Also...here is his video of the same concept :0) Coiling A Bandsaw Blade - NewWoodworker.com LLC

Now, the Debbie Downer side to folding your bandsaw blades 
You must unfold them before you can use them- OUCH!!!!!!

I'm with you Alan, the biger ones can be like coiled up rattle snakes, lay it on the grund pick up one coil and pray to God you don't become hamburger meat when it springs open.

Uncoiling is easy if you take the blade outside and toss it on the lawn. It will spring open all by itself and your hands are no where near the "event". If you are lacking grass, it works on leaves that you didn't rake. Can't remember where I read about this, but it works.

wondering why bother folding in the first place.... wouldn't that invite self-injury??? Having a relationship with 'stupid' recently myself, I try to avoid such when possible.

Hanging on a peg will put a 'bump' in the blade. I have a friend who hangs his over a bicycle wheel. | |
