Okay, so since this thing exists, it must be extremely common everywhere, and you’re going to deny the experiences of anyone who isn’t you. Way to be a closed-minded jackass. I don’t mountain bike a ton anymore, but I used to a ton as a kid. I can tell you my dad would have grounded me for a month if I just tried to throw my bike halfway over the tailgate because it would scratch the shit out of the truck without one of these, and I don’t see why this would be necessary when you can just throw the bike in the bed.
