These are on sale right now at Princess Auto. 2 for $6.00

Best thing I've found for tying the bike to my rack. Bungee cords let things slop around.

Tyler Morland gave me some Rock Shox tie downs.

Tie downs have been used for many years to tie down motor bikes.

Two undeveloped brains, a shitty bike rack, some zap straps, and like 10 bungies can do anything!

make sure that the straps at strong. we bought a bunch of them, not from princess auto, and they were crap, the straps self destructed. THis was on dirtbikes so probably a bit more tension on them, but dont just buy them because they are cheep, make sure they are quality, the thickewr the strap the better

this being said I am probably going to go out and but a few packs of them

I've bought these from Princess Auto before. They are hella strong. That's why I went back with this sale, bought more and have recommended them.

Go for it.
