They look really interesting. We were about to buy roof bars and cycle carriers for our holiday next month. I'll get hubby to look at these as a cheaper alternative.

Thanks for the link!

but then i think it would be too big to carry in a caravan!! but works at home, or around the tent!

Hi, we have one of these bike stands for our caravan.  They are ever so easy to use, put your stand in the caravan, put the bikes in the stand, secure with bungee straps and hey presto.  When you arrive at your destination, remove straps, remove bikes, remove stand from caravan, then use stand for bike rack during stay.  Our friends also have one and they use theirs to store their bikes in their awning at night, but we leave ours out at night, just padlock them to the stand.  When leaving the site follow steps 1,2 & 3.  One of the best things we have brought for the van (after the flat screen TV with built in DVD and freeview, of course)

Look ok if you have an empty caravan ours is full of tables and awning.

I would think it would be difficult to get 2 adult bike in some caravans without causing some damage to the woodwork.

I would also want to lock my bikes to something more substantial to combat theft.

Both of them look good!  I could really use them at home too.  Really like the one that you can put in your caravan...

Thanks for sharing...

Ok if you only have two bikes but what do you do when there is six bikes?

 i will just take the kids bikes, haven't got an awning yet not that posh or rich ;) so weight shouldn't be an issue i hope.
