Tow Hitch Bike Rack

I made this bike rack in order to carry our bikes and to prevent soiling the interior with chain oil.  Now I don't have break our bikes down in order to prepare them for transport.  I made it at Techshop San Jose (http:\\www.techshop.ws).

Step 1: Cut 1 1/4" mild steel tubing and angle iron

Made one just like that. It fails at the joints from off roading. SO, if you go off the asphalt, gusset the thing. Leave a hole in the gusset to run your choice of chain/cable through it. If you weld a washer on the vertical, you can cable tie your bike so it doesnt swing each time you brake.

Well done !
Why spend 100$ for a fancy one in a shop,
if you can do it yourself with some "gardening "tools !
