Bikes in Pickup Truck Bed

[Nanci]

Where does the 2x4 go? Right on the floor, or up on something? Both our bikes have aero bars.

Thanks,

Our 2x4 just lays on the floor of the truck bed up next to the cab. I'll try to take a pic when hubby gets home from work.

you can set the 2x4 towards the truck gate and that will allow the room for the aero bars.

Here is the pic. Hope it gives you a general idea. There are 2 small pieces of wood that brace the 2x4 so that the handle bars don't touch the window. This is something you could do for the aerobars.

Jeni here to weigh in on the subject. If you angle the mounts on the 2x4, you can get more bikes in. If they are straight, you're limited by the amount of space your handlebars take up. Ours 2x4 isn't secured to anything but we have a locking truck cap.

We put the 2 x 4 closest to the back of the truck (opposite of your pic) because of the topper.
