Bicycle rack help
I am researching truck bed bike racks. The Yakima Beddy Jo looks possible, but I have a real concern. The rack is secured by straps that hook under the bed under the rear door (I assume in the flat down possition.) I checked that area of the car and see no real space for the strap hook to grab hold of. Is there sufficient space for the hook or do I need a different securing system?
Thanks, John |

Road bike set up. Thule truck bed rack fits nice on the rear lip of the Ridgeline. No drilling required because this rack is a spread bar. Just adjust to the proper widths, lock into place and your done. 120$. I drove my tuck from Florida to Wisconsin with my bike in the back with this set up and had no problems at all. Hope this helps.

Re: Bicycle rack help
Performance bikes have racks that are around $79 which I installed. I took the clamps off and used the bolts to fit the the back anchors in the bed. At the time it was on sale for $49 so I bought one and a spare mount kit. I can fit 3 bikes in the back near the window and this weekend will look at working on two more bikes in the back near the tail gate. I will try and post pictures once it is all set up.

Re: Bicycle rack help
I went with the easy route by getting a bike hitch.
