Bike Racks For Cars and Trucks - How to Choose the Right One For You

!±8± Bike Racks For Cars and Trucks - How to Choose the Right One For You

Tips for choosing the right one for you:

You want to go biking out in the backwoods but it's too far from home to consider cycling there and back. What do you do? Try to stuff your bike in the back of your car and risk damaging the upholstery or getting dirt and grease everywhere? No, the answer is simple, get a bike rack for your car or truck so you can transport your bike there and back.

That's the easy decision made, the hard part comes in deciding what type of rack to buy. There's a bewildering range on offer these days. This article is going to help you make an informed decision so you choose the right bike rack for your needs. So, what are your needs with regard to bike racks? Here are some starting points to consider:

How often will you need to use it? How many bikes will you want to carry? Will the rack need to fit different vehicles (say, for example you will need to switch one rack between two family cars)? Is security of the bikes and rack paramount? Are you able to reach a high rack to load a bike onto it? Is your bike pretty standard in design or something unusual such as a tandem or recumbent? Do you already have a towing hitch fitted to your vehicle? Is your vehicle an off-road type with a spare wheel mounted on the rear? How much money are you prepared to spend? What categories of rack are there?

There are four basic types: Hitch-mount racks. Roof mounted racks. Strap on trunk racks and racks that mount in the bed of a pickup truck. The cheapest tends to be the strap-on. They are fine for light duties but are the worst when it comes to security. The roof rack is good as it uses wasted space and doesn't hinder access to doors or the trunk but it can be quite difficult to load up due to the working height. The hitch mount is my favorite as it is easy to load and can take a lot of weight. If you've a pickup and don't need all the space in the bed for other stuff then the bed-mounted racks are great.

A bit more on the most important pros and cons of these racks:

Strap-on trunk mounted racks usually cost between and 0. The rack needs to be tightly strapped onto the vehicle and the vehicle's paintwork must be properly protected from damage if parts of the carrier rest on the body. These strap-on racks usually carry one or two bikes, sometimes three. More than that and you risk damaging the car or bikes.

Pros

They are good if you often change your vehicle as they are universal fitting. They are usually a manageable height for loading bikes on to. When not in use, they fold down for easy storage. With prices starting at just they are the most affordable of all bike racks.
Cons

The usual method of fitting means the weight of your bikes and the rack is all taken on the car's panels, risking damage (I speak from first-hand experience!). The polyester webbing securing straps can snap or wear out in the fullness of time. Theft is a high risk as the straps can be easily cut with a knife. Care needs to be taken when reversing as the bikes project way out beyond the tailgate. In many cases it's not possible to open the trunk once the bikes are loaded. The rack position means that the driver's view to the rear is often blocked.
Roof-mounted bike racks can be attached to your vehicle's existing rack mounts if provided, or you can install a pair of crossbars that the rack attaches to. Prices start from around per bike but if you need to buy crossbars, the total will end up closer to 0 for a two bike setup.

Pros

The bikes, once loaded, are up out of your way and don't restrict access to the trunk. Once you have your crossbars you are able to fit other carriers for different items such as skis or canoes. Most manufacturers offer lockable attachments so the rack stays on your car! You can carry more bikes than a strap-on setup, typically up to five bikes at once.
Cons

This type of bike rack can be tricky to install Headroom is limited with bikes loaded. Many car parks etc will be 'out of bounds' Noisier when driving due to wind resistance. For the same reason, fuel economy can be badly affected. Can be a strain to lift bikes onto these racks, especially for shorter people. Hitch-mount racks [http://www.bikeracksforcars.org/hitch-bike-racks] have been getting more popular recently. They can hold lots of weight and are easy to load and unload. Simple one bike hitch-mounts start from around 0, but can go as high as 0 for a 'top of the range' branded model with a swing-away feature.

Pros

The easiest of all to install -just slide it onto the trailer hitch fitting. Bike front wheels can usually stay in place, unlike some roof mount systems âEUR¢ Easiest to lift and fix the bikes in place
Cons

If your vehicle doesn't already have a trailer hitch you'll need to pay extra to get one fitted. Only the swing-away models are guaranteed to allow access to the car's tailgate. These cost more though so check before buying if this might be an issue for you. Like the strap-on racks, extra care needs to be taken when reversing. Rear vision might also be impaired depending on the height of the vehicle.

Cycling In Lanzarote

!±8± Cycling In Lanzarote

Once you have flown into Lanzarote Arrecife Airport and arrived at your holiday destination you might decide to spend some of your holiday exploring this beautiful island in a leisurely fashion by hiring a bicycle.

The lack of high peaks on Lanzarote makes it quite easy to explore the island on a bicycle and the regional government have set up the Plan de Rutas Cicloturísticas detailing a series of routes and trails to enabling cyclists to enjoy touring the island.

If you are a keen cyclists and want to give yourself the challenge, there is a recently completed 205km cycle track which is divided into six sections and aimed at mountain bikers (given the terrain).

The longest and most demanding section is 46km in length and stretches between the whitewashed village of Arrieta, around the northern tip of the island to Ye which is a sleepy village slightly inland. Most of the route sticks close to the coast, turning inland to negotiate the Timanfaya National Park.

Because the sometimes demanding terrain and year-round warm climate provide perfect practice and training

conditions for amateurs and professionals you will regularly see many international athletes training on Lanzarote's challenging hills with The Ironman and Tres Islas events attracting the more serious cyclists.

There are cycle routes on Lanzarote for cyclists of all abilities ranging from flat runs from the edge of Papagayo with its beautiful beaches to Faro Park in the west, to a more strenuous climb up to the mountains of Femes. You will also find plenty of cycle paths in Playa Blanca town

If you are out for the day on the bike, head towards Timanfaya National Park on the LZ 67 and over Fire Mountain where the scenery is spectacular. Drop down the other side towards Mancha Blanca and Tintajo and head down towards La Santa or head back down the LZ20 to San Bartolome.

13 - THE ROAD TO OAKHAMPTON

During October 2009 I cycled nearly 1000 miles, solo, from Lands End in Cornwall to John O' Groats in Scotland to try and raise money for Oxfam. I made a video diary on my way of my thoughts and experiences. Whilst I was a keen mountain biker I had never done a cycle tour before. I used a basic £200 commuter bike (because it was what I had available at the time) and tried to save money by taking kit with me. Please support Oxfam by donating via my Just Giving website at ... www.justgiving.com Episode 13 - My journey takes me across Devon.
