My brother gave my older daughter a new bike for Xmas so I needed a solution not to carry it in the boot, spare wheel mounting bike-racks might be easy to get in the UK but not in Portugal and I don't like the "fold up/wrap around the spare tire" type so...
It started with some metal left overs my father had laying around
measure twice, drill once and file to fit; ready for welding
not so bad after much grinding
primer and paint, the black stuff on the round pipes and bolts is electrical shrink wrap
fitted, the sticker is some "bling" from my brother (he is a Mad Down Hill Biker)
the square metal plate with the reflecting stripes is to comply with the road code
300km in the rain to get home and nothing fell off!!!
