Planning to load up your mountain bike to head to the trail, transport your roadie to a race, or take your entire family to a ride along the scenic route?
A bike rack is an essential piece of equipment for any cyclist.
Being able to securely carry your bike with you wherever you go truly opens up the possibilities of where and when you can ride. For that reason alone, having a bike rack at your disposal proves very handy.
Having loaded and unloaded our fair share of just about every style of the bike onto sedans, vans, trucks, and everything in between, we’ve learned many times that one bike rack does not fit all.
Depending on your needs, expect to choose between these three styles of bike rack:
A hitch rack connects to your vehicle's trailer hitch for easy loading and unloading. However, this style of rack tends to limit rear visibility and weighs more than others, but it provides excellent carrying capacity and stability. Tray hitch racks are generally better than hanging hitch racks because they're easier to load and don't grip the bike frame, which is important if you're concerned about scratching your paint job.
This style connects to the trunk or hatch of your car using straps, buckles, and hooks. When firmly secured in place, they are surprisingly stable, although they do hinder rear visibility and make it difficult to access the trunk. On the plus side, these racks are lightweight, affordable, and easy to use.
Roof racks mount on top of your vehicle, meaning they don't inhibit sight lines nor do they prevent you from accessing the back. They can also be fairly versatile, making it easy to transport things like kayaks or stand-up paddle boards, too. The downside of a roof rack is that they tend to be expensive and loading bikes all the way up onto the rack can be a challenge, particularly for a solo rider.
