Abstract
A ceiling-mounted bicycle storage hoist including a first elongated structural member (36) and a second elongated structural member (38). The first elongated structural member is connected to the second elongated structural member, forming a V-shaped structural assembly spanning at least 1220 mm in one direction, to enable attachment to ceilings comprising wooden joists spaced at 305 mm, 406 mm, 488 mm, or 610 mm intervals. A first, second, and third rope and pulley system are attached to the first and second elongated structural members. The first, second, and third rope and pulley systems converge at a location near the connection between the first and second elongated structural members, enabling a user to control the first, second, and third rope and pulley systems simultaneously. A bicycle may be attached to the first, second, and third rope and pulley systems and hoisted in a horizontal orientation.
