More on choosing a bike rack..

There's more to think about than you might think?
Here are some starting points to consider:

  • How often will you be using it?
  • How many bikes will youneed to carry at once?
  • Will you be wanting to swap the rack between different vehicles (say, for example you will need to switch one rack between two family cars)?
  • Is the security of the bikes and rack a high priority?
  • Are you able to reach up to a high rack to load a bike onto it?
  • Is your bike standard in its design or something unusual such as recumbent bike or a tandem?
  • Do you have a towing hitch fitted to your vehicle?
  • Is your vehicle an off-road type with a spare wheel mounted on the rear?
  • How much money are you prepared to spend?
