This would also allow one or more bikes to be easily lifted by forklift for mezzanine storage.

There are rear axle stands that work for storing bikes upright. But he has built a nice piece. Robert Wichert P.Eng.

I am riding to work these days. Last Friday it was 30 F (actually 30.2 F using my digital thermometer) and I rode proudly to work. Had to use the head sock, but other than that, no worries.

Hi Norm,That is a dandy little contraption. Does this skid only have two castors in the rear and it just drags the front tire?or are there castors hid inside the front wood work? Much of the front is obscured, out of focus and plain off screen as I tried to watch this. Could you ask him to post some up close pictures of the front chock? I don't face book martinearl.
