I like bike lifts too but since it’s primarily for pedestrians the bikes are an accessibility feature. My idea is to have hooks where the bike can be clipped in and once the seat raises hang underneath. For the wheelchairs there would be a little platform to drive onto and the lift would stop entirely (based on sensor) until the stall door closed.

In my area everything is on a very steep incline and there is a big park area with a swimming hole at the top of the hill that is only accessible by an unpleasant bus ride (lots of twisting roads) with very limited hours. It would add so much flair to the town if you could ride up in a chair lift and take in the breathtaking views! I would definitely ride it just for fun regularly.
