Someone requested pics of my lockable tension rod bike rack with two quick release mounts. You could add more mounts if needed. Even with the bikes attached to the mounts, you can access the trunk by slightly loosening the quick release.

I have a Giant TCR as well.... how do you like the bike.
I bought mine 2 years ago, havn't moved her out of the hall in over a year though - thinking now that weather is picking up I should get back into riding.....
Like the rack.
I thought I would be able to shove her behind the seat, but I was wrong.

That is a nice bike rack, what is the brand of the bike rack that you have and how did you connect or bolt that to your cleats. I'm in the market of getting something similar. Thanks for the pictures.

The rack is sold by Performance Bicycles (http://www.performancebike.com/). It's called the Xport Xpress Truck Rack. It sells for $80.
It mounts by pressing against the side rails. We used two pieces of 2x4 so the pressure went against the side of the cleat as oppposed to the thin edge. We can also mount that on the rails of the truck and have the bikes with the forks in the back for easier access to the trunk if desired.
I really like it and have it in the bed all the time. I carry a long lock on it as well in case I ever need to lock something in the bed.
Hope that helps.

I love My Giant TCR Aero, I will never ride anything other than a Giant. It is the fastest frame I have ever ridden. Plus it corners like no other!! I started with the 105 shimano group that it came with and love the frame so much that I upgraded to 10speed Dura Ace and Mavic wheels. I have done three half Ironmans and 2 full Ironmans on it and it has never let me down. I won't change the frame until I decide to by the Carbon Aero frame from giant but the bike is so freakin fast that I can't justify spending the money.
Have fun this season on your Aero.
