Vehicle Racks

 

If you’re looking for the perfect roof, hitch, or trunk rack to transport your bicycle to and from rides and events; we’ve got it.  We only stock top quality brands like Thule and Saris and we’ll make sure you get the right rack for your needs.  We’ll even install it!

 

VEHICLE RACK TYPES

 

ROOF:

Roof racks are the most permanent rack type and free up the most space and provide the easiest access to the rest of the vehicle.  Roof racks start with a base system of feet and load bars and also require a vehicle specific fit kit in most cases.  Once the base system is in place you can then mount bike carriers, ski/snowboard carriers, canoe/kayak carriers, and even cargo boxes.  To minimize wind noise you should also consider a fairing.

HITCH:

Hitch racks are the second most convenient in that they mount on the rear of the vehicle but require no straps/hooks to adjust.  They do however require the vehicle to have either a 2″ or 1 1/4″ hitch already installed.  There are several variations of hitch racks and you can carry up to 5 bikes with them.  If your vehicle does not already have a hitch you can usually have one installed at your dealership or the local Uhaul store.

TRUNK:

Trunk racks are the most popular and most cost effective type of rack.  While it is difficult and somewhat time consuming to install them, trunk racks can be removed when transporting your bicycle is not necessary.  There are several high quality trunk racks that are quick to install and have nicer features.

 

FREE VEHICLE RACK INSTALLATION

 

We know that vehicle racks can be intimidating, especially the roof mounted ones.  It takes care and attention to detail to make sure that it’s on correctly.  Luckily for you we’ve installed plenty in our day and have gotten quite good at it.  We’ll install any* trunk, hitch, spare tire, or roof rack purchased from us.

*Please note that if the rack you purchase is not recommended for your vehicle by the manufacturer; we will not install it and cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from it.
