I made these up from a couple of trailer jockey wheels, they can be wound up or down and swivel to allow bikes on board for easier removal.

 

Took them off after several months of not using bikes

 

Worked well though

Five words actualy " Lifes too short for pushbikes ".............

Our cruiser stern has a steel platform bolted to the stern - it was fitted when we bought it. It's a seriously industrial bit of kit - you could put a motorbike on and it wouldn't flinch! Two pushbikes are easy. Word of warning, we got caught out in our very early days when trying to turn back on ourselves in high wind. The stern was pushed back into the bank as we turned and the rear wheel of the bike, which was lokced on, caught. Next thing - snap! The bike frame snapped clean in two reducing my 1980s road racer into a handy folded brompton. Just worth less. Moral of story is remember the bike rack when cruising.
