What do people recommend for bike racks? Is it better to get a hitch rather than a roof bike rack? I saw some interior bike rack mods does anyone here have that kind of set up?
I made my own interior bike rack. I'm way too paranoid about theft to leave my bike on a rack outside my vehicle while it might be parked somewhere. (One of my bikes has already been stolen and recovered once).
It is made from aluminum square tube, a couple of rubber isolators, an off the shelf fork mount and some assorted hardware. The front wheel holder is just aluminum flat bar. I always wanted to repalce the bolts with hand knobs so I wouldn't need tools to put it in the truck, but I never got around to it. If you want more pics, I can get some for you.
Note: I made mine offset as far to the passenger side as possible so I could get away with only folding down the smaller of the two seat backs and retain seating for 3 adults or two adults and 2 kids. Adding another bike would reduce seating to 2. So keep that in mind for interior racks.
