Destination Bike Riding: How to Easily Transport Your Bicycles
For a couple of years, I lived in Redondo Beach, CA, about two miles from the beach. One of my favorite weekend pastimes entailed me riding from my place to the beach on my beach cruiser, and then heading north on the bike path for miles and miles. I would pass through Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and even made it up to El Segundo a couple of times. My goal was eventually to make it all the way up to Santa Monica and back, but I didn’t live up there long enough to make that happen.
To me, nothing is better than a bike ride along the coast, where I can take in the beautiful scenery, enjoy people watching and work on my tan all at the same time. After leaving Redondo Beach, I moved back to my hometown in San Diego, CA. While San Diego also has gorgeous beaches, I don’t live close enough for a quick bike ride over to them. This has put a real damper on my beach-cruising days. That’s why I’ve decided that I need to do something about it — I enjoy riding along the coast too much to just give up that hobby. If you’re like me, and you’re not fortunate enough to live right on the coast, or if there are some great bike trails that also offer beautiful views and people-watching opportunities, but are a good car-ride away, it’s time to take matters into your own hands. It’s time to give in and purchase bike carriers for all your destination bike riding desires.
Bike carriers come in several different styles, so you have a lot of options when it comes to purchasing one that works for you. There are roof top bike carriers, hitch mount bike racks, truck bed bike racks, trunk bike racks and more. For the purpose of keeping this article short and to the point, I’m just going to go over the main benefits of these select styles.
Hitch Mount Bike Racks
Hitch mount bike racks conveniently attach to your vehicle’s existing hitch receiver. Obviously, in order to use this style of bike carrier, you need a vehicle that has a hitch receiver. Hitch mount bike carriers have the ability to carry up to four bikes. And, the bikes lock in place on the carrier so thieves can’t simply walk off with them.
Trunk Bike Racks
Trunk bike racks mount to your sedan, hatchback, SUV, minivan and even your truck tailgate. Easy to attach and remove, trunk bike racks are able to hold a variety of bikes in their stable arms, and can carry up to four bikes.
Roof Mount Bike Carriers
Roof mount bike carriers mount to your vehicle’s crossbars and provide an incredibly stable spot for carrying your bicycles. These bike carriers are available in a traditional fork-mount style or an upright-mount style. This system works for vehicles already equipped with crossbars, or with the ability to install a roof rack system.
Truck Bed Bike Racks
Truck bed bike carriers keep your bicycle upright in the bed of your truck so it’s not sliding and banging around while you drive. This style bike carrier can hold up to 4 bicycles and is easy to install.
