I made a rail system on the cieling of my garage that allows me to tuck the family bicycles out of the way, up on the cieling all the way by the wall. It's not really a big deal for a family's bicycles to be hanging in the corner of the garage cieling, usually. In this case however, there is a pile of junk, and a toolbox and filing cabinet under where the bikes are supposed to hang. Then it's a hassle. So I made up this rail system. Hook up a bike, pull the steel cable to raise it, clip the cable to something on the bike, and push the bike to the wall. Works great, less filling.
If you have bikes you want to hang, and the floor is actually free of clutter, this right here is THE ticket. Jam the bike up into it and it grabs. No more trying to hold the wheel straight while you try to wrestle it onto a hook. The, when you want the bike back down, jam it up again and it lets go.

Brilliant. Hat tip to the Toolmonger.
