If you have room in the bed, use it. Below is how we haul our bikes. I just put fork mounts on 2x4s. It works great.



An alternative is making a rack out of PVC pipe. I actually made one of these and used it for a season. It cost me about $30. I have a hard toneau cover that I had to take off to use the rack, it was a real drag. So I came up with the other method above.
