Hey there,
I was crusin' through Rona (Canada's home depot) today and I came across something I thought might work as a bike dolly. Now I have seen the one available on cyclegadgets, and harborfreight, but I think the one Feejer222 made is the best......very solid!!! I think you could park your car on it and roll it around. However, if you want something quick and cheap...............what I found was this.......
It's a three wheel unit with a weight rating of 200lbs each. I know they usually make the safe working load half the max load, so with a bike that weighs 500+lbs. I thought two could handle it. The lift is about 1" from the floor, so it's fairly easy to get the bike up onto them with a bit more muscle. I tried it later after rolling the rear wheel onto a 2 by 6 board, and it made it way easier! To get it off I just blocked the one dolly with my foot. It was interesting because the bike did not move forward because the wheels slid backwards. They only cost $25 for the pair and they are small enough to fit anywhere. I was able to move the bike around very easily in the garage. You would probably put a third one under the front wheel once it was up on the centerstand (I'll try that next) and it would roll around even better. It's very stable up on the wheels.
