I will give GO the video I got in 2003 from Sportware showing how to use the rack and why the need for it, as I have 3 copys of it.
I would think both tired should have locks on them, not just the one end. I don't know if I'd trust those locks on an expensive bike. I'd be paranoid the whole trip.
For anyone worried about the GO bike racks, let it be known that I am currently on the gardiner with the bike on the front of the bus. Full report when I get back to Brampton.
Uh-oh...I don't think he made it back to Brampton.![]()
