Quoted message said:Is it ok to hook bikes over the tailgate of my pickup? I saw a picture
of this being done and wondered whether there's any major draw backs to
it. Normally it's just me in the pickup so the bike gets the whole bed
to itself. But I'm providing transport this weekend and I'm expecting
to try and fit four bikes in the back. I thought if I just strap some
foam over the tailgate edge, some more foam on the bed and drop off the
back wheels, the bikes should fit nicely across the tailgate.There's no REI down here in Trinidad so getting a good bike rack is
unlikely, plus my bike has a 20mm thru axle at the front and so QR type
racks are also a no go.Cheers in advance for any advice.

It's fine. Just don't drive like a "Jack Ass" I haul bikes in my pickup
that way. Usually 3-4 bikes at a time. Sometimes I have 6 bikes. If you
are going long distances tie in the rear wheels.
