The Pros and Cons of a Trunk Mount Bike Rack and a Look At Popular Models
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.
Hollywood Racks, Saris, Allen and a couple others sell trunk mount bike rack systems that can carry more than one bike and can mount three bikes. This option is comes in handy when riding as a group and carpooling.
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.
