Nice idea, but how would you stop the bike turning whilst it's being dragged up the walls. I suspect it might cause lot of scratched paintwork and broken brake levers.

the following review off that page says it all....


Blimey! It's sad to say but if conker trees are chopped down and hanging baskets removed to ensure pedestrian "safety" the Health and Safety inspectors will have a field day on this one!

That's if the Health and Safety nuts don't fall straight into a coma at the 'horror of it all'! H&S bods laying in the streets twitching, froth from the corners of their mouths, pointing and making strange, strangulated sputtering noises.

fancy walking under a row of Powabykes !!! pretty frightening thought

Great idea, and if you find salad on the wheel rim in the morning you know that the drunk with the kebab last night had a good throwing arm.

I would like it as my house is set back from the road and it wouldn't be dangerous, I'd be a bit worried in high wind though as it could cause a lot of damage!

I think it's a great idea!
Lots of people in cities dont' have bikes because they don't have anywhere to put them. I know many people who carry their bikes up one or more flights of stairs to store in their flat every night. If it enables some more people to get bikes who otherwise wouldn't, then great.
However I think they will be a target for vandals, until they become commonplace. Also there's no protection from the rain. Maybe a big sack would do the trick...!

Lawyers lips on the forks will definately prove their moneys worth there, QR skewers can pop out under heavy braking so I'd expect a few to drop from the sky.

Hmm an interesting form of storage. Of course it assumes that bike thieves don't own step ladders!

Or just a boat hook for most lightweight cycles.

I guess theres a pulley and chain system thats open to attack?I can see them as targets for drunken vandals in an expensive after closing hours game.

Great target for basketballs. How many points for knocking a bike down.

I prefer the idea of folders taken inside but I am just a cynic!!!

The handlebars would make a nice perch for the pidgeons but let's be honest it's not really going to happen is it.

No, the town planning departments would have a fit at the very idea.
