Bringing along a bicycle/truckstop workouts

You seem to have visions of Truck Stops being Hilton's. Why not a massage? LOL

I'm sure a few try to have a gym set up.

As for the bike, I remember seeing a pic of a guys truck, had a bike carrier rigged to the back of the sleeper. Bike would take a beating a would think.

 

Try isometric stomach crunches while driving. They are killer workouts.

 

My neighbor (age 68) keeps his strapped behind his cab. Tie downs and bungee cords work fine.

 

I know a trucker from a blogging website and he has a collapsable bike (I think thats what it was) from Wal Mart and he has his tied down behind the sleeper.

 

how about a bike rack up front ? don't know if it's legal or not but pretty sure DOT can tell you. probably the best place would be to strap it behind the sleeper but make sure you have it locked down since things seem to grow legs and disapear.

 

well I should clarify. I don't know when / where he got his and I worked for WM last year and never saw one in the bicycle area and a quick scan of their webpage doesn't show anything either. Either way, you can get a cheapy mountian bike from WM for a pretty good price though.

Now heres another question regarding putting it behind the sleeper....do companies allow that?

 

My boyfriend just keeps his bike up on the top bunk. I think he pops the front wheel off first just for space.

 

Depends on the company. If you look close you will find that many drivers have bikes strapped to the back of their trucks. I would not take the spendy high dollar bike because of the potential for getting ripped off and it will probably get more weathered if its strapped to the back of the sleeper
