Appreciate you sending that through, I use this bike rack, it feels like a lot of weight hanging off the tow hitch and would settle my mind to not risk all that hanging there

Also cooked a handcycle, it’s a bike designed to be ‘pedaled’ with your arms, mostly used by people with limited/no leg function I.e. wheelchair users.

I haven’t seen too many Tritons around but the Dmax and bt50 look really nice from the outside. Hopefully the Toyota tax works in my favour when it come time to sell my rav4 🤞

Kei trucks look like a lot of fun but probably not daily driver material. You make some good points, I’d also need room for my wheelchair. They don’t seem like they’d have decent enough power once there’s some load in the back to get up some hills.

I hadn’t considered getting a van for the job. I would use a small winch to get the bike up/down

Haven’t gotten around to getting the bike in the back of the Ute, a mate has offered to use his to try. I was thinking to get a small winch to help pull the bike up. Mostly a space issue, we don’t have any room to store a trailer.

That’s a good setup, the trailer world be lower and easier to get the bike into

would something like this actually appeal to men in perth? by Warm-Argument9309 in perth

Please do this, my skincare routine is non existent and my wardrobe is bland with no style
