Cool I was wondering about that

I'll be trying this!

I'm a car hauler so I get all my cardio by jogging to get my cars in the yard, I get to the gym at least 3 times a week. but I found that eating healthy while on the road can suck. so I'm using an all natural super food system that gives me all the nutrition I need fills me while driving and it give me a butt load of energy, I lost 62lbs in four month before I started driving. I also prep simple healthy meals to take with me when I'm out for 6 days or so. I also use the tension bands to work out with.

Freightliner, Peterbuilt, and Kenworths are all super easy to strap a bicycle on the back of, Internationals take a bit more work. All you need are a couple of bungee cords and a U-lock. I was able to ride for an hour a day on average while working for May trucking, exploring countless national forests and small towns. Also from a practical standpoint they are really useful, it opened up a world of better restaurants and stores. Just don't get too nice of a bike, mine really got banged up. Also be super careful when coupling since I made a bike sandwich once haha.

Does anybody know how easy it is to strap a bike to the back of a Volvo? I had been wondering if this was a possibility every time I think about exercising OTR.

I saw a husband /wife team on you tube that had folding bikes and were in the top bunk. Don't know how good of a bike they were. A lite weight bike should be easy
