In order to be able to do that you need to have a device for carrying the bike on your car. This device is known as a bike rack. There are a variety of different kinds of bike rack that you can get which are categorised by the method that attaches them to a vehicle. The three main categories for these are a roof based bike rack, a tow bar based bike rack and a rear based bike rack.

This book is intended to look at the various different kinds of bike rack that there are available and to explore the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of bike rack with a view to enabling you do decide which bike rack most suits your needs. There are a number of different factors that might be important to you in deciding which bike rack is best for you, but it is sometimes difficult to compare all of these factors without looking at the different factors all together to make a better decision.

Bike racks can be quite expensive and sometimes you need to get expensive additional fittings for your car in order to be able to attach a bike rack. So the choice that you make may mean that you have to buy other equipment as well as a bike rack such as a tow bar and/or electrical fittings for your car. So if you have a good understanding of the specific different kinds of bike rack that there are available it will help in deciding which is best for you.

Other factors that might influence your decision is how well you might be able to lift your bike above your head, (which you would need to be able to do if you get a roof rack based bike rack). Another factor would be how many bikes you need to be able to carry at any one time as each bike rack has a maximum number of bikes that can be carried at any one time. There is also the question of what other equiment you might need to carry at the same time as the bikes which will also influence the decision that you make.

This book aims to try to weigh one factor against another to help you decide on the best bike rack for your particular circumstances.
