I picked up an old Schwinn bumper mount bike rack at a garage sale a few
years ago. It works great on the front bumper of my '85 Westy.

It's about 1" dia. round, chrome, with room for two bikes. Don't know how
old it is.

Later,
Ken

Sounds like a good idea. Couldn't see if there was a brand name on the
rack or how it was mounted. Anyone?

Here is one way to mount bikes on the front of a vanagon.

Front or back, each has it's advantages and drawbacks.
