This year at interbike Yakima showed a new fork mount bike mount/tray that looks promising for a dirrect mount to our VX roof racks. I figured all us bike riding types might be interested in this.

Yakima’s Fork Lift roof rack trays require no additional crossbars; they mount directly to the factory rack’s crossbars. The clamp’s tool-free installation feature is easy to use; it opens wide to click into any of three settings in order for it to fit on crossbars of different sizes and shapes. A single-knob adjuster of the locking skewer speeds installation of the fork onto the mount. Each unit (that holds one bike) sells for $139. | Photo: Lennard Zinn
