Ceiling Bike Lift/Bike Hoist, RAD Bike Lift

RAD Bike Lift lets you store your bike overhead, so it won't clutter up your home, garage, or storage space. This ceiling-mounted bike hoist is designed for ceilings up to 12 feet.

It keeps your bike safely up and out of the way, and it also makes your bike easy to access when you're ready for your next ride. Built to perform flawlessly, the RAD Easy Bike Hoist is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

Installing the RAD Easy Bike Hoist is fast and easy. You can mount the hoist on a two-by-four and screw the two-by-four to a joist, or you can mount the hoist directly to the joist itself.

Here are some key things we'd like you to know:

It takes some time to get these things mounted right, so just plan on it... you need to string the rope through the 4 pieces and pulleys just so, mount them on joists just so, and ensure the distance between the two pieces is just right for your bike. We recommend at least two people, chips and salsa, and perhaps a coors light ;)

Let’s take a look at the features of the Ceiling Bike Lift

• Hooks are designed with a rubber coating to protect your bicycle from scratches
• Robust engineering allows you to lift heavy bikes--55lbs capacity
• For ceilings up to 12ft
• Safe locking mechanism prevents accidental release
• Thick rope
• Lifetime warranty

The Good

* Works smoothly
* Clever, simple system
* Locking mechanism for rope is nice
* Installation is straightforward

The Bad

* Hooks need a safety strap, depending on where you attach them

Hints:
* You can attached the hooks to a lower location on each bike to have the bike lifted all the way to the ceiling. This gives me enough room to stand beneath the bikes without bending my head.
* You can used some of the extra rope, after cutting to an appropriate length, for safety straps for the hooks. Depending on where the hooks attach, they may not have enough bite to fully trust -- easy way to prevent potential injury (see an earlier post on earthquakes!!)
* I don't recommend using the supplied bracket for excess rope. I just coiled the rope and hung it from one of the quick-release levers on the bike. Works great, and keeps the ropes from getting tangled.

If you want to buy these head phones, I highly recommend you by them through Amazon here. You won’t find them cheaper anywhere else.
