Front wheel right, front wheel left, front wheel right till you run out of front wheels.
Ratchet Straps - 4 Piece 1" x 15 Ft. Ratcheting Tie Down Strap Set
Try to pull them forward and back not straight down.
Make sure the tires are aired up.

I use the vertical bar as a stabilizer and wrap a piece of foam around it to prevent scratching the bikes

I rebuilt mine to carry my Yeti, my generator and a propane bottle, it didn't seem to be very bike friendly to begin with without some mods

Sorry i can't help on the bike rack, we have never hauled bikes on ours. We use it more for a drying rack at camp.
Love the sabre head cut out too. I'll have to get my father in law to cut some out on his plasma cam.
