|   MTBs in Aussie Utes | HaroBloke
Nov 1, 2001 10:35 PM | | Rather than just tossing my bikes into the back of my ute, does anyone have any good ideas and/or products for carrying bikes upright in back of utes (pickups for the non-Australians)
I know Thule make a good product called the Bed Rider, but at $150 US I think it is too expensive and I would prefer a product that you don't have to remove the front wheel.
Any tips or photos would be appreciated. |

Once you've entered the site, click on Racks up the top, then click on Rear and then from the left hand menu, click on Unique. They have a setup that might suit you perfectly.

Whack the front wheel of your bike in then use a couple of tie down straps to secure it. You could even put a bit of hose or foam around the rack so as not to damage the front wheel.
