How to Make a Cheap and Reliable Suction-Based Bike Rack for Your Car

Aug 1, 2012 06:31 PM
Bicycle mounted on a car roof rack.

A bike rack that's lightweight, small enough to store in your car, easy to build at home, and only costs 50 dollars sounds to good to be true, right? It's not. This guy built a suction-based bike rack in just two hours with only his jigsaw and a drill.

He built the contraption using off-the-shelf suction handles, plastic cutting boards, and a commercial fork mount. All-in-all, it cost him just $44 for one mount and less than $100 to add in a second mount and a rear holder.
