Honda CRV's are pretty cool. I have a friend who owned one but had problems with his but they are suppose to be decent cars. The great thing about them for bikers is they have a spare tire which means you can just buy a spare tire bike rack for ...

This is probably the most crafty of bike racks that I have posted on this website. I believe that this is a Toyota Tacoma, but it is possible that it could be the larger Tundra. Anyway, you will probably have to click the image to see this. It is basically ...

Since I'm a real biker I figured I would post about what I eat and drink on a long ride. I don't really ride that far in comparison to some professional bikers but when I do ride I like to not get hungry or be sick.
Here is my list of ...

The Vauxhall Corsa has a bike rack built in. I wish more manufacturers of cars would include bike racks for use. If you purchased a car with a bike rack built in you wouldn't have to make your own bike rack. Anyway here is a video of it in action:
