Cheap Bike Rack

For about $10 the truck is a Frontier with a bed divider. Used 1/2 EMT and a bender. Poly pipe insulation was then used to cover the EMT. The end product has black duct tape as a final skin.

Are you already carrying it in the bed of the truck? All you need is (2) ratchet straps. Hook one end on the handle bars, the other to the truck and ratchet it down. Hit all the pot holes you want, its not goin anywhere!
