When designing my van, there were a few things that were really important to me:
- sleep space
-cook space
-bike space!!
Today we are taking a look at the amazing solution that I found for handling my bike space in a neat and organized way all while having them stored safely inside the van and with easy access for rides. I got this idea from a blog called Far Out Ride in which the owners created a sliding tray for 2 bikes leaving plenty of room on the tray for wheels and riding gear. Although I chose to modify the build, linked above are their awesome detailed instructions.
I couldn't be happier with how this build came out, and much of that is thanks to Johnny over at the Crafted Workshop channel, so if you enjoy making things, definitely give his channel a look.
LFRHGS!

p.s. Did I hear someone say shuttlecock? Stay tuned for the next update of the van build coming next Tuesday as I make the van more "shuttle friendly!" :P
So, so happy with the way this came out! Seriously functional and just so dialed. Can't wait to join you on the road at some point!
It was SUPER convenient when we were on the road last weekend! Got back to the van after riding and we were packed up ready to roll in under 10 min.
Mr Tonka nice man!
Looks good. Did you blue loctite the fasteners holding the slides on? Especially with wood, those will vibrate loose fairly easily
Gifford Holmquist thanks! I used lock washers.
Crafted Workshop based on past experience you might be better served with a fender washer and a nylok nut or blue loctite
I've never been so emotionally invested in a vehicle that isn't mine. This build is turning out so dope!
Believe it or not, we are not quite done with the bike storage solution yet, stay tuned for the second part coming next Tuesday as we improve the shuttle capabilities of this bad boy!! #shuttlecock
The Singletrack Sampler ❤
we're happy for you to be happy man
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Can't wait to get on the road and keep making fun content for you all :D
I predict a rear end swinging 6 bike vertical rack system
Am stoked for ya bro! \M/
I used to work in at a mechanic shop and one of the old timers said something that has stuck with me for years, "sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!" haha van looks great! Keep up the great work!
Jesse Shea that applies when you are poor 😂😂like me lucky without money 😒
Obviously luck is part of it. I'm an old timer. There's no substitute for being good. You can't control luck,but you can control being good
i bet that sometimes you have to remind yourself that the van is actually yours
I love it when Alex and Seth drop videos the same day at roughly the same time
Johnny could start a second channel called "Cramped Workshop" and specialize in Van fitting. Killer content as always from you guys. I love how excited you get-- your excitement makes it worthwhile alone.
For a married man with 2 daughters who keep me and the wife super busy it’s awesome to see this. Craftsmanship is awesome guys. Inspiring. Love bikes and riding. Hope to return to it one day. Much love.
That rack is amazing! Just went 20 mins over my lunch break to watch how good this turned out!
Yo thanks Jeff, I'm super stoked on it. I don't think it could have turned out any better tbh!
THAT is a thing of beauty. Your van build has been a pleasure to watch! Don't you want a handle on the "bike slider rack" as well?
I have been using the fork mounts as handles and it works pretty well
Gotcha! BTW, props to Johnny, he's a true craftsman!!
Ricky Downhill
I was going to reply the same because the tray's bottom seems like a nice way to break a few fingers bones while closing up Betty before a ride while talking w other riders.... At least a handle attracks the subconscious and avoid placing the fingers in the slicer
[] AL [] I agree.
I’d never consider living in a van but maaaan... You van makes me question my stance! That bike rack is one of the coolest bike related contraptions that I’ve ever seen. Amazing work guys!
Gotta make that bed to couch set up capable of facing the back so you can put a magnetic bug net on the back and enjoy the view with the doors open and some nice air flow :)
Your van build rules plenty of ideas for my van now thanks mate
This van build business has been awesome to watch!
Alex bro, you got me inspired to ride the tracks again. After 12 months of not riding I threw up and almost collapsed when I got home but I still feel great! Stoked!
Right when my day was heading south, Singletrack Sampler comes out with another can build video and totally redeems my day!
Yo Danny I got you covered bro! Hope the day continues on the up and up man :D
Lots of expedition/overland vehicles have used these slides for years. Great use of space.
Gold! Cool, it looks like we don’t need to go to the store now... So, we’re at Lowe’s!!! Classic 😂
It has become a DREAM VAN
The dream is a reality!!
By far one of the best van builds i have ever seen!!!! Are you going to do a full van tour once it's complete? Love the van man 🤘🤘🤘🤘
When I get my van... I want this guy to help me out (For expenses). This is a great video, one of the best I have seen and encourages me, thank you very much. My only caveat is to stop whining about the Heat, take your shirt off dummy hahaha
need not doubt Johnny. dude is good. i follow all the woodwork channels and his is top notch! it’s even better he’s into biking!
That's exactly what I had in mind 4 years ago to build a sliding bike tray holder or even an arm extender . Nice job!!!
All the projects on your van came out awesome, Alex. If he can, you need to take Johnny out on one of your road trips to ride and camp to get the whole experience!! Fantastic work, Johnny !!
Oh I absolutely plan on getting Johnny out for a weekend or so in the van out in the woods
Love the change in video style
Nice work,now rest like a king.
You should also stain the wood. Bring out some of the character of the wood
Yeah buddy, those trays turned out great and you still have mad storage spice above the wheel wells. So much closer to hitting the road. The can she looking mighty fine.
Thanks for letting all of us take the journey with you Alex....happy to support you man!
Yo thanks Dominick!! Stoked to have you in the Patreon Family man!
Ok.... No man bund!!!!! Lol, deal with the heat man!!!! Awesome build by the way!!!!
3 Floyd's is life!
Only thing I would add would be a TV to watch all my MTB videos on lol
Alex you should put cup holders next to the bed so when you have a drink you can put the cup in the cup holders so you don’t have to hold the drinks
The singletrack van is turning in to a masterpiece, awesome work guys! 😊
this van build was probably my favorite thing ive seen on youtube ever
Anyone else get stoked for that insane high five at 7:23
You should take a tour of upper Michigan. There are trails everywhere. Places to go are ishpeming, Marquette, and copper harbor.
Johnny has mad skills and a nice ass shop.
Favourite series on youtube by far for me!
JoeDPettit agreed!!
You all did an amazing job
Awesome how the slides turned out. You might want to stain/waterproof them, especially on the bike side.
That build is a van life game changer my dude! Stoked
I highly recommend you getting the wood slide out shelving truck bed linner sprayed. When it becomes muddy from a day of schredding you can clean it out with a hose and protect that wood. Just a thought. Looks great though. Love watching the videos of this build
So much gold in this video! I Never wear pants. I only have so much wood.
That was amazing! The looks sick! You should a wall mounted bike repair stand to the inside of the door. When you open the door you can put the bike in the stand to do any repairs.
You should get a length of Steel dowel that is the same inner diameter as the thru-axle so you can stack a couple wheels on to the wall without worrying about brake rotors being bent.
Mario tennis is soooooo fun gets really heated with lots of people and the van build is looking Grade A amazing
A good idea for shuttling is installing some seat belts on the couch
You should put a handle at the end of the tray to make it easier to push in. Might save your fingers from getting smushed too. :)
That van looks amazing you are so lucky to be able to do what you do 🤘🤘
Truly blessed dude, and you better believe i know it!
It's so cool to see how yours and BCPOV's vans have been coming along. Serious engineering going on! Looking forward to seeing that thing in person one day. Cheers bro!
Thanks man! It's definitely been fun for me to watch what route Eric goes as well. Can't wait to get this bad boy out on the road soon!!
You are the best bike bloggers💪👍😉
its just nice to see you so happy =)
Johnny is defensibly a talented guy !! Super slick build out .
You had me at 3 Floyd’s. Killer stuff guys.
Looks like she's coming along nicely man, can't wait to see the adventures she takes you on.
I know this is kind of beside the point but I love how it is registered to Florida still. Granted, I don't know what else I expected, but still.
Loving the van build! So much function in such a small area!
Can’t wait for the full van tour edit upon completion!!!
You have the most amazing bike van!
🙌
Your buddy has good taste! 3 Floyd’s has been rated as one of the best micro’s in the country!
good god what a build mate...so stoked!!!!!
I commonly loosen the handlebar bolts and spin the bars parallel to the top tube---very easy to do before and after storing and makes the bikes super narrow.
Freakin sweet!!! Who would dislike this video??
When I’m a grown man, I Will build that Van! It’s so inspiring!
I suggest adding a washer between the brass handle and plyboard to distribute the weight, like you did with your axle mounts. It's tight now but over time the brass handle will dig into the soft plyboard and get wobbly.
These van builds have been my favorite mountain bike videos on TH-cam! Keep up the good work ✊!
Nice work on the bike tray and storage. Looks super functional.
Alex rigth on dude it’s coming out sweet your almost ready to go full time. Your hard work 😓 is paying off.
Super jealous man. Awesome job
Easy to use and no scratches
Fantastic idea chaps. Could you publish measurements to help us other chaps including the sliders and brands as this would be great to put into my trailer. Thanks for the idea Karl.
3 Floyd’s man!! Try Space Station Middle Finger and Gumball Head. Your van is freakin’ awesome!!
You should make a medal or wooden bar so when you shut the back doors you can climb through the back and put the bar up to lock the doors up at night so you don’t have to worry about anybody breaking in or install a bike lock inside cause if you travel a lot and you pack expensive stuff like bikes you need to be protected
well done lads, great job
Are any of those bikes 29'ers? Not a lot of handlebar clearance, and I'm sure at some point you're going to have 29'ers in there. It shouldn't be a huge difference, but they will likely sit a little higher.
One other thing might be nice. You might try to find some rubber flooring, maybe like a truck bed liner, and cut it to fit those trays. That way you can just pull them out, hose them off and let them dry, and they're good as new without having to expose the wood to moisture.
Beyond that one concern about height...looks amazing man! It's nice to have a guy helping who really knows what he's doing!
Johnny and Seth brought me here.....SUBSCRIBED !!
Nice work fellas!
Awesome work man. NOW, you're living THE dream.
Finally a new video
I wish i had an van like you
Awesome job guys.
DEYM!! I couldn't describe a van life until I meet TSS
#stoked
Cool van congratulations
Every time you come to Johnny's and do something? You mean when you go to Johnny's and he does cool stuff! Great video Alex! Cheers!
Alex, looking into coating all bare wooden surfaces with some type of polyurethane to seal out any moisture. Even surfaces you don't expect to get wet will still pull in moisture from humidity. Van looks awesome so far and keep living the dream.
Done and done!
Yo, just bought some of those fork mounts for my van, replacing simple pipe mounts. Thanks for posting the link, I've been looking for them for ages!
Johnny dropping the snow crash reference
I swear, every time I watch a video like this I just wanna go home and organize stuff.
Bro I’ve never comment on your videos. But I’ve been watching for a long time. I’m super excited for you Alex. The van looks awesome dude.
some string type led lighting around the upright bedframe would look great if you're going to use the background filled with your stickers and van plaque when you live stream outside the van at campsites. looks great man! keep at it.
Super slick
Great work guys
Boy do you owe Johnny a lot of beers,and tacos.Great workmanship.The van looks great also.Stay stocked.:}
