Garn ya wusses, use your reverse to back into the garage.  Tipsy's already got one, eh Harie?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Even easier. Just move the car out, ride right in and then just do a U-turn :rofl

I wonder what the freight is on one of those things...

I'm going to have to find a local engineering joint around here to knock me up one, pretty sure it'll be cheap then that

Maybe it's just me, but I can't say I have ever needed one of those things.  OK, maybe if space is tight it could be useful to store a bike up against the wall, but from my experience even when I had 2 bikes and a load of stuff in a single garage I managed fine. 

Now if we were talking bike lifts, that would be different...

It would save me doing a 200,000 point turn in my garage

Why not just back it out - or back it in if there is an incline outside the garage?  Just asking...

My driveway is on a decline too, so I just sit on the bike and let gravity reverse me out - job done!
