I have a basement in my place, accessed by a hatch in the hallway that is roughly 80cm square. bikes fit through that easily, but it's a two-person job getting them in and out as you have to access the (6ft high) basement via ladders. anyone got any ideas on how I could make it easier to get bikes in and out?
I was thinking perhaps e.g. add a channel/runnel up the middle of the ladder so you can still walk in and out in the usual manner, but if you were putting a bike in or out, you could feed it in/pull it out with the wheels along the channel... this might make a one-person job... edit: could just put a scaffolding board down one side of the ladders, I guess. should be easy to pull it out/roll it down via one of those.... maybe...
