A single pole aerial tramway apparatus carries multiple cycles in an upright position along the path of overhead cables from an aerial tramway. A single, bowed pole supports a multi-cycle support assembly on which multiple cycles are mounted. The bowed pole has a medial region that arcs distally from the cycles, so as to create additional space for loading and carrying the cycles. A bracket forms a junction point that detachably connects a pole cable end of the bowed pole to a cable extension member from the cable. The bracket may be hinged to enable the pole to sway to reduce mechanical stress. A multi-cycle support assembly attaches to the pole cycle end. A primary stabilization bar and a secondary stabilization bar carry and balance the multi-cycle support assembly. Cycle racks set on the stabilization bars receive the cycles in a front tire depression and a rear tire brace.

An overhead storage unit is disclosed. The storage unit has an elongated guide member with a first horizontal segment mountable within an overhead storage area, a second vertical segment mountable below the overhead storage area, and a curved segment extending between the first and second segments. The storage unit also has a storage container with at least a first wall mounted to the guide member and displaceable therealong to be raised and lowered between a stored position and an accessible position. The first wall is disposed within the storage area and has a first orientation to define a bottom surface of the storage container in the stored position. The first wall is disposed below the storage area and has a second orientation different from the first orientation in the accessible position. A residential living unit and method are also disclosed.

A tie down strap system is provided. The system includes a first flexible strap, a first hook disposed on the first flexible strap, a pair of adjusters disposed on the first flexible strap on each side of the first hook, a first connector attached to a first end of the first flexible strap, and a second connector attached to a second end of the first flexible strap. The system may be used to secure an item, such as a two-wheeled vehicle, to an object, such as a bed of a tow vehicle.

A bicycle workstation that is removably suspended in a doorway when in use includes several elongate members that collectively provide at least three contact surfaces, and an additional elongate member that, in the illustrative embodiment, couples to a clamp suitable for clamping to a part of a bicycle. The contact surfaces are arranged such that the weight of the bicycle forces them against a wall, door frame, and moulding on both sides of the doorway, thereby securely suspending the bicycle workstation, and the bicycle clamped to it.

The present invention is directed to a motorcycle axle holder assembly device for use with a motorcycle stand. The assembly device includes a plate and a cylindrical section positioned on the plate. The cylindrical section has an opening configured to be

attached to a cylindrical member extending from the motorcycle stand. The device has a generally C shaped longitudinal opening with a base adjacent to the cylindrical section and a pair of arcuate arms extending from the base. The C shaped longitudinal opening is configured to suspend an end of the motorcycle axle off the surface when inserted therethrough.

A locking mechanism includes a locking receptacle, a movable member, and a locking member. The locking receptacle has an opening with sloped walls leading into a slot configured to receive a connecting member. The connecting member includes sloped walls that converge along the direction of docking. The movable member is positioned in the locking receptacle and configured to rotate from an unlockable position to a lockable position to secure the connecting member. The locking member is configured to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position, and further configured to secure the movable member while the movable member is in the lockable position and while the locking member is in the locked position.
