Just visited Lidl today and picked up this for £7.99.

Looks pretty decent if you have ceilings high enough to allow you to walk underneath..

4 meters is the maximum height. I am devising a cunning plan to hoist my cycle up into the rafters which are 3 meters to the roof rafters giving me adequate headroom underneath.
Here’s the contents of the box photo.

Is it for using on Sustrans routes?

Amazing. Repackage a bondage rig in a different box, double the price, and they fly off the shelves!

You can get bondage gear for £3.99? Bargain! Don't go telling us your safeword. Again...

After a day in the garage I have knocked up the framework for the cycle hoist. Just needs now to thread the cord through then a dummy run.

Just a daft question, but 4m is the maximum height? I guess that's dictated by the 'rope' and no other factor..... so if you fitted a longer rope the err sky's the limit!

I would be thinking of something slightly more secure than hooks under the handlebar and saddle for a bike suspended 2+ metres above my head! (At the very least, I would use a bungee cord or two to make sure that the bike didn't free itself from the hooks.)

Leather toe straps surely
