Hey,
I've been trying to figure a more secure way to carry my bike in my pickup. I was wondering what others have done. I don't want to mount anything permanently to my bed, so I was thinking of mounting some chocks to a piece of 3/4" plywood cut to fit my bed in front of the wheel wells. How do you think this would work? I figured the bike would have enough weight to hold the plywood down and that it really couldn't pivot if I cut it to fit exactly in the bed. I just don't like cranking down on tiedowns to keep the wheel from turning. Plus, I could just remove the plywood with the wheel chocks when I wasn't carrying a bike.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
