When we go on rides together that we have to haul our bikes we take the truck which is equipped with a camper shell and that enables us to put all our stuff back there and not worry about anything blowing away. DH has made a holder out of a piece of wood that enables us to take the front wheels off and put front forks down on and tighten down.

I have a Honda civic and a bike rack that I can take on and off on days when I want to haul it somewhere and it's just me.
