Have you ever wanted to go cycling at a place so far away it would be impossible to make the trip by bicycle alone?
You can use your car and try to jam-pack that bike of your inside it or you can get yourself a bike rack.
Bike racks are utilized to carry bicycles on the exterior of your car when you're
restricted on space.
There are three varieties of bike racks offered a trunk bike rack, a hitch bike rack, and a roof bike rack each with their own pro's and con's.
Using a roof mounted bike rack enables you to still use your trunk without having
anything in the way.
Also, once you have a roof mount mounted you can even interchange the racks to hold
other various cargo holders.
While carrying bikes on the roof the air resistance can produce a lot of sound in addition to affecting your fuel economy.
Your bikes are also carried on the rear of the car so they are mostly protected against any flying debris that could damage your bike.
Unlike the roof mounted bike rack the trunk mounted bike rack takes away the use of
your trunk while it is attached.
The hitch mounted bike rack can also carry a lot of weight, meaning additional bicycles
depending on which brand you buy.
In order to be able to use your trunk you will either have to uninstall your rack each time or spend more money or buy a rack that swings.
