BIKE RACKS
Bicycle carriers are the best way to bring a new sense of adventure to your cycling experience. With a bike rack fitted to your car, you can go further than ever.
Made of quality components and long-lasting materials, our bike carriers from renowned brands like Saris, Thules and Peruzzo will transport your bikes safely and securely.
Whether you are looking to transport 1 or 4 bikes, whatever type of car you have (SUV, estate, 4x4), there is always a solution to transport your bikes.
There are 3 different types of car bike racks: hitch mount bike racks, roof racks, and tow bar bike racks. Each solution is designed to carry your bikes safely so you can relax and enjoy your travels.
Probably the most popular option, rear mounted car racks don't require any extra installation and are fitted with easily adjustable straps. They are a must have for anybody looking to travel occasionally with their bikes. You can carry up to 4 bikes with them and most of them come with straps to secure your bikes in place on the rack so they don't move an inch while you are driving.
A little more expensive option than the other 2 types, the towbar bicycle racks are perfect if you are frequently going on holidays with your bike or actively cycling all around Ireland and further. On a towbar rack, your bikes are stored relatively low which makes it easy to load or unload and gives you free space on your roof for a roof box. These bicycle racks offers some security too as you can lock your bike to it and the rack to your car and are quite often fitted with a boarding light saving you an extra purchase.
Roof mounted bike racks are a great option for low height profile vehicles. They allow for easy access to your boot while your bikes are still on the car and often have space for locks. As your registration plate isn’t covered by your bikes when in use, you will not need to purchase an extra lighting board. However, the roof bike racks also come with one major downside. They add to your car height making it sometimes tricky to access some underground car park or narrow and low bridges.
If you are unsure about which bike rack is the best for you or if it will fit your car, don't hesitate to call or email us. We will be happy to help you.
