In car single bike rack

this only cost me about $25 to make and about 2 hours. i totally brain farted and forgot to take pictures while i was doing it for the step by step instructions so here's a diagram of what it looks like with the dimensions.


the middle bar is 2 feet long. you can pick up the supplies at any metal supply store, i used 1/8" thick aluminum and it feels quite sturdy. to hold the pieces together i used 5/32" pop-rivets, but im pretty sure most any size would work just make sure it is long enough to grip both pieces of aluminum.



if you want more detailed pictures just let me know

should be in fit ice... im retarded

Is it possible to put two bikes in there? It doesn't seem like it since the tire has to stick through in between the seats.
