Bicycle Transport

We are doing more towing with our Expedition, and less with the F150. Wondering if anyone had any ideas for bike transport inside the RV. We do not have a reinforced bumper, and would be reluctant to do a bumper tow. I also don't want to put additional weight on the rear end by using a trailer frame mount over the propane tanks. And getting bikes to the roof of the Expedition seems as if it would be a daunting task. I have heard of some mods where bikes are secured to the dining benches. Wondering if anyone has had any success in that capacity and would be willing to share any information.
  • rear bumper mounted bike racks always brings this to mind

  • ajriding; as for locks to secure the bikes, it does not matter what lock you use because anyone with an portable angle angel grinder will cut any lock in less than 30 seconds.
  • Anytime we carried bikes inside the camper instead of the back of the truck I'd just lean them at an angle against the end of the bed and they'd never shift at all. K.I.S.S. :B
