Abstract

See full text

A mounting system for mounting a bicycle to the tailgate of a truck bed. The mounting system includes at least a frame pad and a fork pad. The frame pad is directly attached to the bicycle's down tube and includes a handlebar strap that captures the handlebar in a positioning that renders the bicycle unridable. A fork pad for direct attachment to the bicycle's fork. The frame pad and fork pad include multiple layers of textile materials and multiple layers of cushioning materials. The multilayer frame pad and multilayer fork pad provide durability and protection for both the bicycle and the truck. The mounting system allows for easy attachment and detachment directly to the bicycle. By attaching to the bicycle rather than the truck itself, the mounting system avoids damage to the truck's parts and paint. The mounting system's direct attachment to the bicycle rather than to the truck also provides for a much greater ease of use, as compared to the mounting systems of the prior art. The mounting system may also include leashes for added horizontal bicycle stability.
