Sure, you聽can haul mountain bikes in a truck by draping the front wheel over the tailgate. But what if you need to run into the store and聽leave them outside? Or what if you don鈥檛 want them bouncing around on a dirt road?
solves that problem with its new . The product is a replacement tailgate that comes with three built-in bike axle shafts that lock down your front fork (it works with regular dropouts and thru-axles),聽plus a heavy-duty chain that threads through the frames to keep them secure. There are also tons of accessories, such as聽a toolbox, a combination-lock safe for keys and cell phones (so you don鈥檛 have to take them on the bike), LED lights for when you鈥檙e changing out of your kit at dusk, and two beer openers.
Built in the U.S.聽and constructed of heavy-duty steel and aluminum, the GearGate is currently available for most full-size pickup trucks, with more options for Toyota and Nissan coming soon. Additional accessories such as an integrated back-up camera are available as well.
