Bike racks
As bicycling has become a nation-wide competitive sport,
companies have begun manufacturing a diverse range of bike racks to
help with the ease of transporting bicycles from one location to the
next. This comes in handy in competitive racing and for long distance
bicycling clubs where transporting frames and gear safely from one location
to another is vital.
Bike racks are also great for families or leisure cycling clubs, where
multiple cyclists get together to enjoy biking through remote or new
locations. Racks that safely attach to most sedans or light SUVs are
generally inexpensive and discrete. They can accommodate both adult
and youth sized bicycles so that everyone can enjoy a weekend bike getaway.
Bike racks come in two general designs. Some car manufacturers offer
their own bike racks, while multiple online retailers provide multiple
options for any vehicle. Some bicyclists prefer to purchase a roof rack
which generally can hold up to three bicycle frames. Bike racks that
attach to a vehicle’s trunk can accommodate additional bicycle
frames, depending on the weight and size of the car.
