What do you do if you want to take your bikes on holiday? You cant exactly cycle there in most cases, but youd like to cycle around once you get there. The answer is to simply attach your bikes to your car using a bike rack, and then drive them there. Its a lot easier than taking them on public transport, and cheaper than renting bikes once you get there.
Bike racks sit on top of your car, and can hold a surprising number of bikes sometimes as many as five on one rack. They are very useful, yet generally inexpensive, and you can buy them at any good garage or DIY store. Dont worry too much about which model you get: as long as it can hold the number of bikes you need it to, itll generally be just fine.
If youre going to fit a bike rack to your car, however, it is important to realise that it could potentially be a hazard not only to you and your car, but also to the other drivers on the road. For this reason, you need to make sure that the rack is secured to your car exactly as the instructions say and follow all the relevant safety regulations. If your rack seems unstable, you should take it to be fitted by a professional dont take any risks.
