I generally don't have tie down issues, due to owning an Xtrcycle, when I do have issues where something needs to be tied down, I usually use the camlock straps that Xtracycle sells. If I still need more I have a hank of 550 paracord that I can use.
Unfortunately some people think bungees are the magic solution for everything. Ever see a bungee pop off the top of a minivan on the highway only to see a ladder flying after the bungee cord? And I don't mean some pansy aluminum ladder; this guy had a fiberglass ladder so it was probably 50-60lbs.
