    Awesome. The monkey is breaking out snarky praeteritio over a bike rack. I sure hope there's some political news today.

      I don't want to have to pull my car out one time let alone one hundred times that I would need to throughout the year.

        I agree it wouldn’t be worth it for the daily ride. This is for the tandem, though, which isn’t ridden nearly as often.
        PLesa excuse the tpyos.

          Just on the off chance that any one cares, the company responded promptly to my email and said they do make tandem lifts on a custom basis. He sent me a drawing. Longer tray, two gas struts and support arms. They also will customize it for my ceiling height and bike length and weight. I will give them the info and then see how much that is going to cost but, if it is affordable, it is a pretty nice solution.

                Your structure is very nice and looks very well-built but it isn’t what I was looking for.

                Doesn't count - it's mounted to the wall, not the ceiling.

                  You obviously have confused me for a welder.

                    eh, if you were a welder, you'd hire a guy like pelado to do it for you.

                      This would not work very well for a Tandem. Too narrow. Plus, as that master ceiling rack builder Pelado points out, it must be mounted on a wall. The advantage of the Italian system is that it can be built for a tandem and can be mounted in the field of the ceiling leaving walls free for something worthwhile, like Pelado's shelving system (not kidding about this last one, btw).

                        You thought the original was “a bit pricey” but you are hoping that a custom one, built to fit twice the bike, will be affordable? I like you thinking.

                          My thinking is usually what gets me in trouble.

                          My first comment meant that among the choices of ceiling racks for bikes it was expensive. But it was the only one that did everything I wanted it to do, so it might be worth it. Any rack suitable for a tandem will be more expensive than one suitable for a single, so the question is whether the price for what is essentially a custom rack will be along the lines of 2x the normal prive or will it be some outrageous number?
