Stumbled across this and thought it looked interesting:



With several bikes stuffed in the garage, I'm thinking it might make it easier to shuffle them around when need be.

Anyone got one?

Nope, but I wish I would've thought of that first. Looks quite handy! Who makes it?

I have a buddy that made a couple of them kind of like that but he built them up a lot higher so he could work on them too. He used a channel beam and the bike sits about 3 feet off the floor.

Where could I buy tubing already bent like that? The pieces under the tires...

Anyone know??

It could use some beefier wheels to prevent from getting stuck in cracks. Pretty cool though.

Don't they make bike shoes already made up for enclosed trailers like that?

Stainless.....yep, that's priced right...!


I've gotta build 7-8 of the things, what with me and two sons riding. And another soon to be.


The shoes aren't that heavy of tubing.

Primm Museum just welds casters onto a Pro Circuit stand. Get the same function for half the price.

Hate to post with a shameless plug but SPYGUY started it : )
Moto-cart has been recently upgraded to 2 1/2" casters mounted on the side for a lower profile. She will now roll over any crack, tie strip, or small animals in it's way.
The web site will be updated with new pics as soon as we sober up the webmaster.
Oil changes, maintenance, washing, and storage have never been easier.
Starting tomorrow they will be on sale for $ 180.00 free shipping.

My motorcycles have wheels that just roll anywhere I want.

I think they are a great idea.
