Boyink! - Spring Forward on the Web

This was a car-top bike rack.  It was a bit wide for the Bantam, so I cut a few inches out of it and used some strap steel to join it back together:

The rack is held in using chain tensioners connected to the tie downs:

It sits just high enough that the pedals on our adult bikes will clear the trailer sides.  The smaller kids bikes fit inside, but I might need to modify the rack arms as their bikes get bigger.

   I’M LOOKING AT A BANTAM AS WE SPEAK AND MY QUESTION IS. ARE THE TIE DOWNS IN THE FLOOR OF THE BED ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ? OR WAS THIS SOMETHING YOU HAVE ADDED? IF SO IT’S A NICE ADD ON. THANKS

   They’re an add-on.

   It was painful to cut the holes in a new expensive floor to put them in, but I use them *all* the time.  Hands down one of the best modifications I made.
