Loading into SUV?

[roguedog]

Hey is there a device out there that allows me to load bikes into the back of a 4rnr that keeps them upright?

I've throw my mtn bike and some other folks' bike in the back before but inevitably they fall over and then the pedals get caught. Sorta fine on my mtn bike but I don't want to do that to the road bike.

Tks

I use an old Rhode Gear shuttle mounted to a 2x6, pop off the front wheel and lock the fork in. Works like a charm.

In our Honda Element, we can load the 2 bikes in standing straight, front wheels first, without taking any wheels off. Then we just use a simple webbed luggage strap with adjustable buckle to slip through the side hooks by the ceiling (where one might hang dry cleaning if the back seats were in) and then pass the strap under the top tube and snug it up. That holds the bike against the side of the car and keeps it upright and steady. Really simple.

Queen,

Lisa brings up a good point. How do you make secure the back part of the bikes so they don't skooch around or cause undue tension on the fork of the bikes?

I just slide my gear duffle between the bikes, if the skooch (and they usually don't) they bump into a soft duffle.
