Tonneau Cover/Bike Rack

Does anyone know where I can get a bike rack that mounts to the bed rails while allowing the tonneau cover to stay in place? This is for a 2001 Supercrew.

Thanks

you're saying to be able to lay your bike on it's side, right? Mountain bike? I found one I was going to buy at Cabela's that clamped to the bed rail, but stood the bike up. And now that I've got a tonneau I'll probably either just lay my bike in the bed or get a bike rack and reciever hitch...

It doesn't matter how they are mounted (standing up or on their side). The receiver hitch racks that I have seen only hold 2 bikes (I need to carry 3), and they don't seem to do anything to keep the bikes from making contact with each other (or the truck) so that they would tend to rub the paint off whatever they were in contact. Also, if you put the bikes in the bed, then you lose the storage space under the tonneau cover that was out of the weather. Getting a cap is not an option, as I had a cap on my last truck and did not like it.

great link W1. If you also need your hitch, you can get an adapter that fits on the bumper ball hole.

the Thule racks hold the bikes tight without pinching over-frame cables.
