Bike racks for your vehicle

If you’re planning on a cycling trip, you’ll need a bike rack that fits to your vehicle. The proper rack will secure your bicycle(s), properly balance your car and evenly distribute the weight, mount and dismount your equipment with ease, and, of course, be very secure. Most racks are customized to your particular vehicle year, make and model. Unless noted, racks are made of galvanized steel with a protective coating to prevent rust and corrosion from the outside elements.

Hitch Racks

A hitch rack attaches to the towing hitch of your vehicle. Newer ones swing away to allow easy access to your vehicle. These racks consist of draw bars to connect to your vehicle, arms to carry the bike, lock systems on the arms to secure your bike and prevent them from hitting one another, and stabilizers to prevent the rack from smashing into your vehicle during bumpy rides. Varieties of hitch racks can carry from 1 to 4 bicycles, depending on the model.
