Pop Up Camper 92 Rendezvous self made Bicycle Rack

Every time I think of riding our bikes  I think of the lyrics to a song by  Queen “Bicycle race”! I don’t know about you but bringing our bikes camping adds to the  fun and is  great exercise. It also provides a quick way to get to any of the facilities at a camping park.  I like the basket on it too so I can pack a picnic and all my camera gear. This rack was made by my husband after he saw different examples on the web.  Thanks for all the previous posts it helps. We loaded our 2 bikes on this last weekend and it worked great. It was sturdy and didn’t bump or rattle our bikes around at all. It rode well for the total of about  12 hours round trip.  My husband was a journey man line man so he knows how to tie those knots too. 🙂 I watched and “assisted” him with this and there is minimum tools needed. Just the basics like a drill, bits, crescent wrench and

I have gotten great shots of wildlife when we ride too. EX: deer coming out of the woods lots and lots of birds. Sometimes our moon shots are the best when we ride at night and can get the perfect angle we couldn’t get in our vehicle. It cost about $60.00 total and it is easy to use. This is a lot cheaper than buyer those ready made ones online or at the store. Just drop it down after getting the bikes off. It can actually hold several bikes on this rack.  It took about an hour to put this all together and it was ready to use. We thought about using pins but felt it was more secure with the lock nuts etc. That way if we stop anywhere on the way it would be harder to steal and get them down.  Make it take it and have some fun.  Let me know how yours turns out.
