Biking up steps...

[Chalky.]

How do

Live in a crap area, so can't leave my bike outside. It can fit in the hallway of my place, only problem is, there are two steps to get in.

Now, there's a hole in the pavement just down the road, and it's covered with a plastic board so nick that as a ramp. It's fine for going down, but going up, as soon at the front wheel comes off the board, the rear wheel spit it out and bottoms me out!

Have tried putting a brieze block at the bottom, but that didnt work.

Any suggestions as to what to do? It's just me by myself most the time.

Ta.

How the fuck do you get pictures to display

Can you push the bike up instead of riding up?

Use blocks of woods to reduce the height of the steps. If you want to be fancy, cut them into triangles to make a sort of ramp.

Get on to the council for a longer board !

Not sure they'll appreciate me nicking their board in the first place

Aye monkeykuckle, my bird was here when i first got it and said i should push it up, I let her try first

[bencav]

Can you not mount some sort of bracket on the floor infront of the step to locate the trailing edge of the board in so it isnt spat out when the rear wheel hits it?

i live a house with 2 steps to door and i have a exercise stepper to get in the door i have use it loads of times works well for it

The 3rd paint drawing is class.
Amazing how you caught the look of horror as it grounds out

[salty21]

i have to get up 5 steps just to get near house and there long steps so i have to use 3 seperate planks , i then have to traverse a narrow corridor and a steep grassy garden but thats another story.

The best way to tackle planks on steps is making sure you pick up enough speed before you hit the ramp, then use the momentum to take you up, doing it slow will always result in board spitting.

Can you not wheelie it in there?

Nail some bird wire on the board. A piece of 1" x 1/2" mesh works for me even in the wet. My ramp has to go up a 13" step into the yard. And go up the ramp smoothly. Having the rear wheel hurl the ramp backwards aint no fun.

I cant help you more than what everyone else has said, but did want to say you drawings are fantastic

[ollieholt]

+1 for the look of horror dude very very funny!

a longer board should sort it. best idea on this thread is the blocks cut diagonally though by far. i would go down that route.

Cheers for the drawing love, as you can see it took me ages! I am thinking of going pro, if any of you want pictures doing, i'll sort you out cheap

The steps are going to be too steep just to put diagonally cut blocks in, I'd ground out.

Can't really get much speed up, the drawing aren't quite to scale but the edge of the pavement isn't far away.

Putting the wire across is a good idea, and reckon I might try bodging it a bit more.

Just had an amazing idea... if it put nails in the pavement! YES! I am a genious.

Otherwise, with your suggestions I'll wheelie it in, at full pelt, whilst tossing off my semi

You have to hit the board with enough momentum that you can be off the throttle by the time the backwheel is on there solo.

Alternatively make your own ramp out of decking planks etc, with a lip to hook over the door frame.

Cement the steps into a slope - easier to walk up a slope than riding up steps (if you live in a shared house tell them it's for your disabled relative who visits now / again - hey may be able to get the landlord to pay for it too ).

As we're on paint diagrams

Don't bother with a ramp, it's just a pain in the arse and will get nicked / in the way / lost / broken / etc.

Just get some bricks and put them in between the steps to act as 'intermediate' steps, if you catch my flo'

Stick em down with silicone (don't laugh) or cement if you can be bothered so they don't budge.

Don't need a longer ramp or anything.

You just need more speed.

It's shooting out because you're still driving with the rear wheel as the front wheel comes off the ramp.

To get around this hit it with a bit more speed and coast up it. Then you'll have no problems. (Or hit it with more speed and whip the clutch in just before the front wheel leaves the ramp.)
