Well I am currently carrying around my Secteur Comp but I am nervous about going anywhere with it because I possess the most rudimentary of bicycle retention systems.
There is one pole coming up that bolts into the ball part of the bumper and it comes to a T at the top, where there are just two poles coming out with very shallow dips and no kind of straps or stabilizing system on the bars.
What’s worse is I was tying it to the bars with these little ropes which are basically shoelaces, although my dad claims that they "came with the rack" and that they "work really well" until it almost scared me by almost falling off on the freeway.
I went to Home Depot and got 12 feet of Industrial, All-Weather Velcro which I cut into 3-inch strips and wrapped many times in an X around the bars and also used all of the little ropes and a stretch cord, but it’s still kind of scary.
I crawled into the 2-door chevy blazer (the twin to the GMC Jimmy) which I use and measured all of the space, but it really wouldn’t work unless I lowered the seat and took off the front wheel. Especially because the spare tire is mounted prominently inside of the rear of the vehicle and is supremely in the way.
I understand a lot of people do this, but I’m a bit wary of it and I don’t want to wear out the seat post or the front wheel’s quick-release by constantly adjusting them.
The other options are to get a bigger vehicle or a better bike rack. The second one would be feasible except that the Blazer does not possess a real trailer hitch to which most new bike racks would be attached, but has only the ball mount on the rear bumper.
And the idea of a window-mounted bike rack is just silly because even when the bikes are firmly secured to the rack, the rack itself could fall off, which happened to a couple who came into the bike shop.
Also on the way to the Debaets-Devos Criterium the other day I noticed a couple who were forced to make a stop on the side of the freeway. They had a roof mounted rack on top of their van, and one of the bikes’ front wheel had come loose and it was dangling over the rear of the vehicle by its rear wheel. Not fun and not something I desire.
I meant 3 foot strips. Three inch strips would be useless.
I also noticed someone carry their bike in the trunk of their 2004 Monte Carlo so I figured it was possible.
