Bikes: All the TGMBG mums

Figured this should go in here too.

My friend has made a great rack for the back of his ute (or "pickup truck" if you're that way located) for our bikes. It fits 5 bikes and we can still stow all out junk in the tray, and we're able to drop the tailgate to access it all! We thought 5 was enough, because you can only fit 5 in the ute. It's really effective, and we put a heavy duty occy strap around the wheel on the back end to keep it steady and it holds for a 4 hour road trip, as we found this weekend. It's easy to get bikes on and off for shuttling as well, the occy strap just wraps around. There are some mods to come, and this is the second prototype. Will keep you posted.
