Bike Racks

A bike rack is a device or structure designed to securely hold and transport bicycles. It is commonly used on vehicles, such as cars, trucks, SUVs, or on public transportation systems, to allow cyclists to transport their bikes conveniently and safely.

Here are a few common types of bike racks:

  • Hitch-mounted Bike Rack:  This type of rack attaches to a vehicle's hitch receiver, which is typically located at the rear.  Hitch-mounted racks can accommodate multiple bikes and are available in different configurations, such as platform-style racks that support the bikes by their wheels or hanging-style racks that hang the bikes from their frames.
  • Roof-mounted Bike Rack:  Roof racks are installed on the roof of a vehicle and can hold one or more bicycles.  These racks typically require additional crossbars or a base rack system on the vehicle's roof.  Roof racks are popular for their versatility and ability to carry other types of gear, such as skis or kayaks, in addition to bikes.
  • Trunk-mounted Bike Rack:  Trunk racks use straps and hooks to secure the rack to the rear trunk or hatch of a vehicle.  They are generally lightweight and easy to install, making them a popular choice for occasional bike transportation.  Trunk racks can accommodate multiple bikes but may have limitations on weight and accessibility.
  • Spare Tire-mounted Bike Rack:  Some vehicles with an exterior spare tire on the rear hatch or trunk can utilize spare tire-mounted racks.  These racks attach to the spare tire and provide a stable platform for carrying one or more bikes.
  • Truck Bed Bike Rack:  Designed for pickup trucks, truck bed racks secure the bikes in the bed of the truck.  They can be mounted using clamps, brackets, or fork mounts, providing a secure and stable transport option.
