Bicycle rack from old skis and ski poles

Step 2Drill holes in center cross member

Drill holes in center cross member
Find the middle of the center cross member and make a mark 1 1/2" on either side of the middle. Now make a mark every 3" on both sides. The 3" spacing seems to work well for most bike tires/wheels. Commercial bike racks also have 3" spacing between the vertical supports.

Next, drill a 1" deep hole the same diameter as the ski pole or other vertical support at each mark. We drilled eight holes using a 3/8" bit with a masking tape stop at 1" for our bike rack. You can modify the design for more or less bikes.
