Default Looking for a truck bike rack

Looking for a used truck bike rack that would fit a Honda Civic. If anyone wants to sell one, let me know.

Oh and if anyone wants to part with some clipless pedals, let me know.

If you mean a trunk mount, I have one you can have. I've had it for a long time, don't even know how I ended up with it. The only catch is that I don't know if it's complete, by that I mean there are no separators on it, I don't know if it s supposed to be that way. All the straps are there though so it is mountable.

In any case it's free if you want it.

Sorry it took me so long to re-post. First off, no one ever learned me how to spoke or reed! I meant TRUNK rack for a Honda Civic sorry. I ended getting some used pedels from Kipper (Shimano 85. I will check the suggested websites for ideas on the rack. I have never used clipless and I suck, so can anyone suggest a shoe to use with a SPD system??

EndoMaster, pretend you are talking to a retard, ok don't pretend. What are seperators?

IMO all shoes are basically the same. When you're cliped on to the bike it doesn't matter what shoe you have expect for the weight factor. Differences are when your off the bike, some shoes handle hiking better than others. The shoes that weigh the least will most likely have more air vents which keeps your feet cool in the summer, but in the winter your feet get really cold (then you start using tricks like putting sandwich bags over your socks to keep rain/wind out)

Again IMO don't brake the bank on shoes, there are a lot of other goodies to spend your money on.

Some of the trunk racks that I've seen have seperators or holders that slide on each of the arms that hold the bike but I've I've also seen some that don't. I don't recall if this rack ever came with any of these seperators.

I'd add on to duke's post that you should try the brand of shoe first, if possible. I tried one brand that many people rave about and found the shoe to be horribly uncomfortable.

In my opinion, when it comes to shoes (and helmets) you should always be looking for last year's model or a close-out deal.
The tech. just doesn't change much from year to year to justify buying new.
My 2 cents - Check out Specialized's website. They sometimes have screaming deals on old models.
If you can find a Specialized Sport model in your size, it is a great beginner shoe.

There's Rock and Road in Laguna Niguel - La Paz and Pacific Park. Performance in Laguna Hills - Alicia at the 5. Laguna Beach there's Laguna Cyclery. Up in Tustin is the Path. All of these shops will likely have the cleats or you can just order online. Jenson, Price Point, etc.

In addition to what Cal and Kipp said:

in south San Juan Capistrano is South County Cycles (a.k.a "BUY MY BIKES!") on Camino Capistrano just off the 5.

In Ladera Ranch is Ladera Cyclery (on corner of Crown Valley and Antonio).

Jax on Walnut and Culver just off 5 in Irvine (this location was heavily road oriented).

And Cycle Werks in front of the Kalidoscope on Crown Valley (one of our users had a bad experience there).
