Isn't that exciting!

So, with the bikes falling off, in a construction zone, at 60 mph - we need to pull over. So, there's a emergency pull off in 1/4 mile, and we make it to that. Bikes still in tact and on the vehicle.

Seems that in the work zone, the bumpy drive caused the bike rack to dent the back of the van, and then get a little loose, and then disconnect all together except for the top two straps.

Tighten that up and we are on our way.

Until about 1 hour later, the rack has failed again. Maybe I don't have it setup right, but I don't think so. I think that it's design with the Enterprise is just a bad combination.

So, we pull off at the next exit available, and Lowes and behold, there's a Home Depot.

In. Buy straps. Out. Bike rack in the car, bikes on top, strapped down.

On our way.

This is getting crazy.

(Editor's note - we've managed to get Internet here @ the house, so I'll be able to get things up to speed sooner. Only problem is that it's in one spot - in the bedroom - not outside, or in the living room/kitchen.)
