I have a 94 rodeo with a sports rack on top. I have never set my bikes up on top and was wondering if anyone had some helpful advice as to what the correct procedure is to straping them to the rack. Thanks in advance…

if the rack is not made specifically for bikes, then you will have to either lay them down and tie them down,
or add a front fork clamp so you can secure them by the front fork (example: Hollywood fork clamp can be bolted to the rack rails)

they have reasonable rates
good luck!
Hi, the best and safe way is to purchase an aftermarket bike rack that attaches to your factory rack. Manufactures like THULE and YAKIMA make direct bolt on bike racks that will fit your Rodeo factory sport rack.
The crazy/unsafe way is that you can turn your bike upside down and adjust/slide your cross bars, so they are directly under your seat and your handlebar. Place the handlebar directly on top of the front crossbar and use tie downs to sure it on each end of the handlebar. Then take your rear crossbar and adjust it, so your bike seat is directly over your rear crossbar and use another tie down to secure the seat to the rear crossbar. I had a friend do this and it worked until one day he forgot and drove his SUV into his garage with his bike still strapped on. Ouch!
