I use a mix of webbing straps and bungees to secure my bike in the back of the Landrover.

If there’s a couple of bikes we use old sheets/blankets and sometimes off cuts from old foam sleeping mats to keep them from rubbing.

Chucking it in the van was supposed to less faff than the bike rack. I CBA taking a wheel off (not quick release) to secure it. I’ll experiment with straps/bungees.

I tried using bungees (2 for a pound from poundland) and wheeling it into the back of the campervan last week. Worked a treat.

I've only got seats in the front Gobi. I'll have a play when I pick the van up on Friday. I'm sure I'll work it out.

I used to just bungee it to the side of the van. More than one bike: blanket and or old sleepingbag between, tie both of them to the side.

Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
