Bike Racks

1
When Im driving during a nice summer day where
the temperature is nice and not over bearing I
see people riding their bikes for fun.
2
I then wonder how they transport their bike from
point A to point B when the destination is across
town, or even further if they are going on
vacation.
3
I ended up doing some research and I found out
that there are a number of different kinds of
bike racks that allow drivers to safely transport
their bike from point A to point B.
4
One of the first things that people should know
is how to properly secure their bike.
5
Drivers needing to secure their bike may purchase
or use a public bike parking rack.
6
This rack is simple enough to use.
7
All that is needed to use this device is a lock
with a proper chain to tie the bike to the rack.
8
When this device is used properly the theft of
bikes are reduced.
9
This doesnt mean that it completely eliminates
the problem though.
10
There are also a number of different types of
bike racks.
11
The first is truck bed racks.
12
These allow bikers to properly secure their bike
in the flatbed of a truck.
13
The next kind is a roof mount rack.
14
This kind of rack proves very helpful if you
drive a sedan or small vehicle.
15
The third kind of rack is a spare tire mount bike
rack.
16
Drivers who have a vehicle such as a Jeep can
really benefit from this device.
17
Rack number four is a trunk mount rack.
18
Lets say that you rather not have a bike above
your head while you are driving.
19
This kind of rack allows you to secure your bike
to the trunk of your vehicle.
20
This is primarily used for smaller vehicles.
21
The advantage of a bike rack is the ability to
properly transport your bike from point A to
point B.
22
There are some disadvantages to bike racks.
23
The proper installation of a bike rack can be
time consuming.
24
This is especially true if the rack is taken off
one vehicle and put on another.
25
Another disadvantage of this device is that it
takes up space.
26
This can be a real problem if you are trying to
take your vehicle to a car wash.
27
Even though there are disadvantages to having a
bike rack if you are someone that rides a lot
then the advantages may outweigh the cons of
using this device.
