Default Anyone carry a bicycle on board?

I know there are foldup bicycles, etc .. but .. what about an old banger ..

How can one attach? Or store?

Any thoughts?


Something else to think about . . . unlike most things in your boat
which are corrossion resistant (note I did not say corrossion proof)
to some degree or another . . . bicycles begin to rust almost
immediately unless you really stay after them. I grew up a few blocks
for the ocean and had more than a few friends riding "solid rust"
bicycles. Even such things as the springs beneath the seat (saddle?)
would rust. Nowadays with composite frames, small or no fenders, and
a lot less chrome, this might be less of an issue.

Happy trails.
