How to transport bikes on your car

Transporting bikes by car is a convenient way to take your cycling adventures wherever you go, whether it's a weekend getaway, a race, or just a day at the trails. However, choosing the right method for transporting your bikes is crucial to ensure their safety and ease of transport. This guide will explore the various options available for securely transporting your bikes on your car, helping you find the best solution for your needs.

When transporting bikes on your vehicle, you have three options to choose from: roof mounted, tow bar mounted, and rear mounted carriers.

Roof Bike Racks

Roof mounted bike carriers are a popular choice for cyclists who prefer to keep their bikes out of the way and maintain access to the trunk or rear of the car. These carriers attach to the roof bars and hold the bike upright.
