The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    DIY Bike Dolly

    Ordered Monday, arrived today. I'm very happy with them. Like them more than the HF whole-bike dolly. It is fun to spin the bikes around in circles. Pushing forward is better pushing on the dolly with one's foot because sometimes you can push the bike off the center stand.
