I have one a tower leaner bike rack in my 3 ft wide covered breezeway, where I store my bikes parallel to the wall, one bike on top hooks, one sitting on the floor. The bottom handlebar sticks out, so I've learned to turn sideways to pass it. The issue is there just isn't enough room or strength for me to pick up a bike and raise it to the top hooks. I'm working on the strength part.
I was thinking of getting a bike hoist system for the top bike to replace the leaner rack. I'm not keen on the ones that hook on the saddle. I could just see it poking holes thru my Brooks B68. Another option is to just use the hoist system to get the bike to the hooks on the rack and then release the pressure on the saddle. Does anyone have recommendations for a hoist that doesn't hook to the saddle? I do not have any other room other than parallel to the wall to put the bikes. I am not strong enough to lift the bikes to a ceiling hook. Not enough room to have them perpendicular to the wall with hooks. Bikes are anywhere from 28-35 pounds loaded and each gets ridden at least once a week. Budget is $50-100, but would spend more for a great solution. (Right now, my "top" bike is parked in my living room.). I have one A Homer Hilsen (most likely for top position since its a diamond frame) Platypus mixte and another grocery getter/commuter mixte.
