Now a clever person would.....
Now being a person who has travelled through big long bits of desert and fallen off his lardy 230kg all laden bike 20-30 times a day and got through a good 8 litres of water to do this...
I was thinking...
The biggest problem with picking up a heavy bike is finding a good place to get hold of it ( I have bent handlebars on pick ups before). usually you have to undress the bike to make grip points available and the weight of the bike more manageable.
It is a total horror, total sweat out.
How about if some clever person found a point on the majority of popular bikes used for travel where a small attachment could be bolted on. Then an extendable lightweight pole could be slotted on to make righting the bike dead easy using leverage. reduce the effort to 20% of the original with no more than 2 metres of length.
I'm not interested in trying to make money out of it, but if you can do it and you can make it work, go for it. However, please mention my name for coming up with the idea, because it is recorded here and I would hate to embarrass you.
I think it is bleeding brilliant.
Cheers
Dave
