Bike Racks: Best For You And Your Bike
Written by Brian Tim on April 6, 2010 – 7:44 am -Bicycling is one of the most popular recreational activities. Most of the bikers wish to carry their bikes along wherever they go and because of this various systems have come up in the market which is designed for mounting and carrying these bicycles on automobiles. These bike racks can easily be attached to any automobile or bus for transporting the bicycle.
These racks can be attached at different places depending on the type of the vehicle in use. For buses these racks are mounted on the front portions whereas for smaller automobiles these are attached over the roof, rear trunk or rear tow hitch of the vehicle. In automobile like the auto, pickup truck, RV, SUV or a camper these racks make it very easy to take the bikes along.
The roof racks are mainly used over cars and pickup trucks and they also require a vertical support for supporting these bikes over the roofs of the vehicles.
Carriers also come in a design by which you can carry the bike at the front or rear end of the vehicles. The rear bumper mounted carrier has been popular because of its smaller size and their low lift height. These carriers can easily be mounted and removed from the car and save space when stored.

Written by Gary Lindsey on November 23, 2009 – 11:17 pm -There are many companies that produce trunk mount bicycle rack systems for different autos. Among these bicycle rack companies are Hollywood Racks, Saris, Allen, Thule, Yakima and a couple others.
All the various trunk bicycle rack work almost the same way. Most of them strap onto the trunk of a auto and secure your cycle to your car for secure transport. Nothing else to it.

Some models that I would recommend are the Yakima King Joe, Saris Bones, Allen AL102A and a few others. All these trunk-mounted bike rack options are just a starting point.
The Allen AL-102A trunk bike rack weighs 9.5 pounds, fits on most SUV’s. The single configuration design ensures no mistakes during set up and installation. The 12 long carry arms easily carries up to 2 bicycles. It sets up and installs within minutes.
