Hey all, BF superstar Tom Stormcrowe also built a DIY roof rack, for a recumbent trike. I found many pics on his blog, in three, blog, posts. I wonder if he could have gotten away with my QR fork-mount in the front, and something more secure in the back (a couple smaller/longer round U-bolts and some padding for the rims)? Then again, my system depends on being able to place the load bars at precisely the right distance between the front fork and rear tire -- probably a recumbent trike would require load-bar spacing too long for most vehicles.
