When I’m driving during a nice summer day where the temperature is nice and not over

bearing I see people riding their bikes for fun.

I then wonder how they transport their bike from point A to point B when the destination

is across town, or even further if they are going on vacation.

I ended up doing some research and I found out that there are a number of different kinds of bike racks that allow drivers to

safely transport their bike from point A to point B.

One of the first things that people should know is how to properly secure their bike.

Drivers needing to secure their bike may purchase or use a public bike parking rack.

All that is needed to use this device is a lock with a proper chain to tie the bike to the

rack.

The first is truck bed racks.

The advantage of a bike rack is the ability to properly transport your bike from point A to

point B.

There are some disadvantages to bike racks.

Page 23: Bike racks

The proper installation of a bike rack can be time consuming.

This is especially true if the rack is taken off one vehicle and put on another.

Another disadvantage of this device is that it takes up space.

This can be a real problem if you are trying to take your vehicle to a car wash.

Even though there are disadvantages to having a bike rack if you are someone that

rides a lot then the advantages may outweigh the cons of using this device.
