Review on DeltCycle Bike Storage Hoist: Auto-Locking Ceiling Rack & Hooks for Garage, 50 lb Capacity, Kayak Option, Hangers for Garage Ceiling up to 12 Ft by Vicki Lane

To make the bike big enough to walk under I had to secure it to the top of the roof and didn't have room to mount it. along the ridge. Since I had two mounting heights, I cut the pair of 2x4s I had left over to make relatively even mounting points. I assembled everything on the floor and attached it to the roof beam. It took a few hours to install but works great! My daughter can easily raise and lower the bike. (I think that's a quarter of the bike's weight, but I'm not entirely sure.) If you thread the cord through the locking mechanism as shown in the instructions, the cord snaps like a blind cord. You can always raise the bike, but you pull in a certain direction to "unlock" the rope and lower the bike. It seems like a really good system.
