Tension crossbar needed for bike rack

Today I decided to try out the new bike rack and things didn't go like they did at Summit Bicycles when I practiced putting a bike on the bike rack.  The bike I practiced with had a cross bar and mine does not.  A quick search of Amazon.com informed me that what I needed was a tension cross bar to mount on the bike so the bike could be secured on the bike rack.  Summit was going to have to special order it, so I just went with the one on Amazon, that had over 200 very positive reviews, and had a video on their Amazon page about how to install it:

So I should be able to solve that problem for under $20 bucks and within a few days.

I think I should have named this blog:  Clueless and trying to ride a bicycle!  :-)
