DIY: How To Build a Fork Mount Bike Rack for $20 in 30 Minutes

Do you need a way to transport your bike but don't feel like shelling out hundreds of dollars for a hitch rack? Well, look no further because I've got a solution for you that's quick and requires only a few common tools. This rack can be used in any pickup truck bed and in most SUVs. See this project on Singletracks: https://tinyurl.com/build-a-bike-rack For this project you'll need: 1 piece of wood (ideally a 2x6 or bigger) 1 1/2" floor flange (per mount) 1 1/2" tee fitting (per mount) 1 1/2" nipple fitting (per mount) 2 Close PVC risers (per mount) 4 wood screws (per mount) Tools required: A saw (if the wood is not pre cut) A drill A tape measure and a writing utensil Pliers (optional) The rack I built with two mounts cost a total of $21.37 for the finished product. If you have common materials laying around the house (like wood and screws) and only need a single mount you can easily get away with building this setup for $10.
