I don't know what your bike storage area looks like, but I hang mine from hooks attached to a plank itself bolted to the studs of my garage wall. I positioned the hooks so that they hold my longest bike so that the front tire is about 1 foot from the ground. This means that even I, at 66 (and 3/4!! as small children like to say) and without more than average old man upper body strength, can with relative ease hang a ~31 lb bike by its rear wheel even while having to cantilever the upside down bike while standing back from the wall to avoid tangling the bar with those of adjacent bikes. (I find it much easier to hang by rear wheels, and spaced the hooks to accommodate bars side by side.)
Again, I don't know your storage area, but perhaps if you position hooks sufficiently low you can lift the bike to the hook?
