Transport Bikes In Truck Bed

Found this. Looks like it will fit the bill for what I need...Don't you just love what you can do with PVC?

I have 4 bikes. Hmmm, $10-15 on PVC or $20 per bike on stands. Which will I choose?

Personally, I lay my bike down on the rare occasion I transport by truck, although I do have a set of rec-racs. I would use the PVC stand for inhouse storage.

I still like my Thule Bedrider. Secure & stable, no question about its durability. Sure, it cost me ($75 on CL) but it was money well spent IMO.

True, but this is the first time I have seen this design. I like it more than the other designs I have seen. Although, "PVC bike stand" isnt something I actively search on the Googles.
