Bike rack for pickup trucks?

Hi there --

Does anyone know of a good bike rack that holds at least two bikes securely in the bed of a
pickup truck?

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!

Please post any info you get. I've been wondering about something that hangs over the front bed rail
and has some sort of slot setup to hold the front tire reasonably secure ... then rope and bungie
from there.

If you're not *too* worried about looks, a pallet standing on it's side will give you a decent bike
rack. Just secure it to the front of the bed and insert the bicycle tire in one of the slots or you
can build a similar design from your own wood. You can even lay the pallet down in the bed and set
your wheel in it.

That should help.
