Stiles,
My yorkies, DO NOT ride, they are ABOVE that! HAHAHA, seriously, although some yorkies have the thrill of sitting in mom or dad's bike basket and going for a quiet little ride, well, you would have to meet my yorks. High strung, yep, and I would not trust them for one minute in a bike basket. Even chained down! (JOKE,ok!!
) Bill and Ann, was I hard enough on Stiles?? ha ha ah ha
Bill, we cannot get a bike rack on the hitch, remember we have the Isolator, Al looked long and hard and because of the movement of the Isolator has declared that there is no way a bike rack would work.
Charlie and Nila, the ease of getting the bikes up and down is a consideration, that is why I want to see the photo and show Al. He is not thrilled with the idea of the front bumper mount type of bike rack for truck, did that years ago with a moped, and NO we did not run over it! HA HA, just that he did not like looking through the bike to see the road.
All options are open, but he is not satisfied with the ladder mount idea. He has thought about the addition of a receiver behind and under Montana, but trying to find someone to do that for us around here is a joke. We cannot even get anyone to come look at a repair we need done on our roof on our stick built. Have called like 10 people and none of them ever show up! This has been going on for 2 years now.
So we are exploring all the options again. I really could have enjoyed and used a bike this last year in the Rio Grande, as I was like a mile from the swimming pool. I told Al that bike was going if I had to put it on his bed, well, I actually said the futon, but am rethinking that!
still looking for that someone who had the roof mounted bike rack for truck, just so we can look at the photos again. we need to make some kind of a decision about this in the next TEN years! ARGHHHHHHHH
