Bikes: Some silver ones, a red one, a black and orange one, and a few titanium ones

I keep forgetting to take pictures of my bike on the car but I use a Hollywood Trailrider like the one below. I removed the outer wheel mounts and moved the remaining mounts outboard to the wheelbase I need. I have a Nissan Frontier and the bike sticks out just a bit to the sides of the truck but it’s not past the mirrors.

I did take this picture of the Lincoln Highway in Nebraska that shows how the front wheel fits.



The rack is relatively cheap but is stable. I’ve used it to drive across the country a couple of times without issues.

I have also carried my tandem in the back of my truck. The truck only has a 5’ bed so the tandem has to be partially disassembled to fit. We drove to Florida last December and it was a better way of carrying the tandem on that trip due to the weather we encountered.
