Remember, you gotta arrive before you can
ride! As you look for a bike carrier, keep these things in mind.
- Durability - Look for a bike carrier made of STEEL with a thick powder
coat for protection against the weather. Steel is real, and cold rolled
TUBULAR steel is simply the best.
- Design - Look for a bike carrier that has TOP and BOTTOM cradle plates
which will ensure that your bikes remain on the carrier. Straps, bungee
cords, and rope ties could fail to stabilize your bikes.
- Simplicity - Form equals function, the simpler the better. The less
you have to put together, the happier you are and the stronger the bike
carrier is.
- Security - Look for a bike carrier that allows you to lock your bikes
onto the carrier, use a pad lock hole for locking the top and bottom
plates together or optional locking knobs.
- Innovation - Look for a bike carrier that is built by a company that
has as their main focus the manufacturing of bike carriers. Focused
companies tend to produce innovations that result in better performing
products.
