Bicycle Rack

Bicycle Racks are great for transporting your bike on a car or bus. A bike rack is a device attached to an automobile or bus for transporting bicycles. Bus mounted bike carriers are usually attached to the front of the bus. 

Bicycle Racks may flip up against the bus, and out of the way, when not carrying any bikes. Automobile mounted bike carriers can be attached to the roof, rear trunk, or rear tow hitch, depending on the vehicle. Bikes may be mounted in the carriers by clamping both wheels and providing some additional vertical support, by clamping the rear wheel and the front dropouts or by clamping the top tube.

Bicycle Racks that clamp on the front dropouts may also provide a built-in locking mechanism. Bike Racks have been developed especially for the rear of pickup trucks that attach either to the bed or its sides. Special long carriers have been developed to support long wheel base recumbents and tandems.
