Bicycle Hoist or "How to get the wife's bike out of my way"

Step 8 Hoist Away

Now give it a try. The bike should go up pretty evenly. One end or the other may get ahead but gravity and tension should even it out. If one side does not go up well, make sure that the rope is riding on the pulleys correctly and not hitting the bike or anything else.

Once the bike is up, tie off the rope and move on the the project that you were trying to do before the bike got in the way.

And I take no responsibility for people who try to make this hoist and don't apply common sense or safety to the project. If you are that guy, go buy it from LL Bean.
