Default Wheel Dollies for Bikes?

Once it snows the bike is going in my basement. I'm looking for a wheel stand on casters that would allow me to roll the bike around easily. I need something that will allow 1 person to move the bike easily in a small space... and I need to be able to get it on said stand without the use of another person. Recommendations?

This one is really nice but how do you get the bike in it?



I've seen these for cars and they're awesome but I haven't been able to find them for a bike. Obviously this won't keep the bike upright.

I found this one, but it's not that great in that you still have to use the sidestand.

I have a decent amount of space but I'd also like something I can use to manuever around in my garage. My garage is pretty tiny and I'd like to get my car and bike in there at least until it snows.

Go get a dirt cheapo roller cab from Sears or Lowes and then hack the base off, chop the tubes stick in a metal plate making sure the bike c/l is over the c/l of the dolly. One side tap or even better weld 1/2" nuts on the back and use another plate to sandwich you rear wheel.

Then ebay the top of the cab or use it for storage.

why not go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy some castors, then mount them onto the bottom of this thing. 1 person could for sure move it around with no prob! to mount the castors you could prob just buy 2 steel plates to attach to ither side of the nifty contraption with small nuts and bolts to give it some extra strength. Next using biger bolts attach the castors.
