Bicycle on rig guard?

I should ask Santa for that. Especially when I'm stuck in West Memphis on a reset.

 

I stick those in the side box.

 

When I pull doubles and drop the dolly I hide my pigtail those freight haulers are crooks!

I'd have to lose a little flab first. The weight rating on that citizen is 220lbs. Unfortunately I have gained a little weight in the trucking industry. I've always been big at 6' 210lbs, but I'm pushing 250lbs now.

Gotta hit the gym and meet some swoll goals.

 

I was thinking of something like this !

just plug it up to the inverter and charge it while driving.

 

If you carry it outside you have to bag it or somehow protect it from the elements. It will be junk in no time otherwise. Been carrying a bike for 5 years on my headache rack covered with a tarp.
It is worth the effort.

 

That's right. If you don't protect it with bag or tarp,don't waste your time.

 

I figure it'd get awfully dirty on the nose. Depending on what kind of air-deflector you have I'd put it up there. (I had a 9400 with a huge hollow space up there, the Cascadia's I've driven since are twin bunks so the roof is solid.) Mounted to the catwalk is probably ideal. I saw a guy with a Harley in a plexiglass box back there, had an amazing 'tip and slid' loading system he'd engineered too! Very impressive.

 

Tarping is a good idea and I considered that but there was no way that was working out on a company truck, where I could do few modifications. As such I bought a cheep bike just for trucking. 7 years with this bike and all I have had replaced was the typical tires, tubes, seat, and grips. All other parts are original cheep bike. Occasionally I will have to fuss with a derailleur cable but not much more than the bikes that I baby and live life in a insulated garage. Almost all bikes and components are made in China and line between expensive quality and cheep is not what it was years ago. Not saying that protecting the bike is a good idea, but for 4 years this cheep bike was doused with road salt and grime on the back of a sleeper and it is still worth every penny I paid for it.
