CharlV Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 hi ok so i got a nissan np200 bakkie and need to find options to put my bikes on the back... easiet/safest way ect what does everybody use that has a bakkie?? Have a Landcruiser ,and have not used anything in the past but just loaded the bike and strapped it to the "Skaap trallies" ,althoough I bought a Raleigh "Ride On" Carrier this December and beacuse its so lightweight will be using it instead.
Tumbleweed Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Nissan Hardbody double cab, so the load bed isn't the longest. Normally load three bikes standing up with the front wheels removed. The wheels sit between the bikes and keep them upright.

vinylguy Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 ok wow that pricey.... kool rack sounds good... but way to pricey
kosmonooit Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 My bike lies down nicely in my Colt Club, quick and easy. When I am travelling with a load I simply strap it on top of the cover, I have a few of those straps that ratchet. You might think of just standing it upright diagonally, front wheel tucked into a corner and secured with such straps.
rudi-h Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I just bought a new bakkie and will soon have finished building a NICE bike rack for it. 2 bikes only... Will post pics when I'm done. The plan is to bolt a small bracket to the lip of the "front side" of the bed. It's got tapped holes in it, so I won't have to drill / modify the bed in any way
RudoJ Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 My cycling partner has a corsa bakkie.He just welded a piece of square tubing together, with the "brackets" for the skewers and then made sure it fits securely to the sides. Voila, two mtb's fit comfortbly. I've seen bakkies with a Roll bar where the okes just put Holdfast skewer thinga majix on as well...really doesnt have to cost you and arm and a leg
The expat cyclist Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Corsa Utility - size does not matter!I load 2 bikes on the back and hold them into place with an old raod bike tube tied around the front fork. This holds the bikes upright and secure. Takes me 5 seconds to load and affload the bikes. In between the bikes I put a plastic box that holds all our cycling gear!
Jongozi Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I also drive a Colt Club. I use my indoor trainer as a base to keep my bike stable, and then strap around the seat post to each side of my bakkie to make sure it doesn’t tip when taking a corner.
