MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just bought a 110 utility wagon, gonna be carting a bike/bikes around a lot and they can stand upright so what are my options for securing them? Anyone done this?
A. Strapping from the roof? What should I mount to the roof to secure the strapping from?
Or
B. Strapping from the van sides. Should I look at mounting some plywood to attach fittings to or direct to the inside of the bodywork?
Any insight or experiences would be appreciated!
first off - good choice
I bought a 110 utility last year, loving it so far
I take front wheel off, and use a bungy from front floor tie down upto a grab handle
Ye cheers, lookin forward to makin the most of it!
Ye that's a good shout, with the seats folded up against the drivers/passengers I can get a bike stood up in there with wheel on like a van so I might ditch one of the seats and use the bungy method you suggested.
I have a ply lining in the back of mine. I have then fastened an elasticated cargo net to the one side into which I can throw loose stuff like jackets and helmet. The best way I fine to fix the bile is on the same side as the net using a short bungy cord hooked into the net, through the bike frame and back to the net so that the whole lot is under elastic tension. It never moves or rattles. I can get a picture later
Hi, a picture would be great! I like the idea of a net for shoes/helmets etc. I plan to keep a full set of riding gear in there for that day you forget your shorts/helmet!
I've always fancied one of those bike racks where the front forks are locked in by a QR. You could set that up easily enough.
Screw a pedal cleat to the box on each side. Clip the bike in. Works.

Looks good welsh farmer. Where did you get the bungy netting from if you don't mind me asking?
