OMG I have made the most amazing thing for my bike. I got sick and tired to keep pushing my bike in and out of my garage asmy drive is on an incline..I had to push it out backwards and often my bike would go out of control and I would drop it. Now I ride it into my garage, spin it around with one hand and ride it out already in the forward position. Genius and I now don't have the dread of getting it in and out which became more of a chore than a pleasure. Cost me £20 to make and just shows how fantastic an engineer I am.

Dragons den next, can you post a pic
ha ha yes, I will post a pic when I get back. I bet people would pay for this. I know I would. It has cost me hundreds in repairs from dropping it on my drive. £20 and I could have avoided all this time
 
This turn table was installed more than 30 years ago to avoid having to reverse along a narrow drive way;.

There’s one of those near me for a house that has off street parking in a small front garden that fronts into a busy main road. I suppose the owner got fed up trying to reverse out onto the road. Drive in, turn car round, drive out.

Nobel peace prize?
 
Here is the damage caused by dropping the bike before I made this ingenious device from a road sign.
