You should be right with a ratchet tie down on each side of the steering head/clipons, and one through the back wheel.

Have a look about for a way to get hold of a foldable bike trailer unless you want to have the option of carrying other things in it. Neighbour has one (as does someone else here, unsure who) and they look tidy and fold up super compactly.

Hey HP, I have a three bike trailer with tie downs and ramp, which you are more than welcome to borrow if you would like! All I would ever ask in return, is a night with one of your girlfriends hot little friends!!! :lol:

As long as you have a Vic Registered car, the trailer is sorted and ready to go. Let me know when you wanna come pick it up mate? :)

hahah thanks, i'll take that as a compliment......(to our friends)..... :D

unfortunately, my car is sml, i will order one of the foldable ones from easytrailer, as they also come with the bike front wheel lock thingy and eye bolts for the rear wheel....and ...i can put fences on to make it a box trailer......and best of all........it's only 140kg total...... :D
