Still sounds just like the guys who buy a rack for the hitch to haul their deer so they don't get the bed of the truck bloody.....
Sorry to bring back up an old thread... but here is my method for hauling my girlfriend and my bike in the bed of my truck.
How does your girlfriend fasten to one of them things??

Thats a good one!
My preferred method is a ratchet strap, but I'm open to other suggestions!

No, that's not a banana in my pants.
Any good suggestions on a receiver monted bike rack? I need to start riding again (I could use the exercise) and the only way I could transport my bike is to lay the seats down and pile the bikes inside. A Suburban doesnt have a bed, so I'd like a nice receiver mounted bike rack that also wont kill my bank account (which is sadly of life support right now 
). I'll need one to hold at least two bikes.

I always get a kick out people who have bike racks in the receiver hitch on a truck with an open box and nothing in it
Bikes can get fucked up in a truck bed being tossed around. Securely transporting one on a hitch mount makes complete sense, especially when sometimes the bed is full of camping gear, coolers, etc. If he's already got the hitch mount, why wouldn't he use it?
I am actually looking into a bike rack that will mount on top of my camper shell.

Thule and Yakima are 2 of the major brands of racks. I don't have either (seeing how I have a bed) but thousands of people do.

You can see they make all shapes and sizes of them.
Naturally they get more expensive as you add more bikes and more features (hinge down, pivot, etc.)Probably any local sporting goods stores would have something to look at. And I bet Craigslist would have loads of them. Especially guys wanting to dump their old one for a bigger/newer one.

Damn, those arent cheap. I was looking at one at Harbor Freight for like 50 bucks, but it looked like a cheap POS.
You get what you pay for I guess. I'll just keep searching and maybe find a used one on CL or Ebay. If not, I guess I'll just stuff the bikes inside the Burb again. I'd mount em on my roof, but I can't lift a bike up onto my roof with a fucked up back.
