Spare Tire Bike Racks
Are you looking for a spare tire bike rack?
Bicycling is a great activity for anyone.Going for a ride as a family outing or with your buddies can be a lot of fun.If you are lucky enough to live close to your favorite riding area or trail,getting there isn’t a problem.But what if you don’t live close enough?Or if you are planning a trip away from home.You will need a way to transport your bikes.
Now there are many ways to do this.You can use a trunk mounted bike rack,assuming that you have a trunk on your vehicle.Or you could use a hitch mounted rack.Again that assumes that you have a hitch on your vehicle.A roof top rack would be another option and that is generally what you see on the road today.
But what if you have a tall SUV?A roof rack may be difficult to load and unload.That is where a spare tire bike rack comes in handy.This is especially true with vehicles that have rear mounted spare tires.
The Thule 963 Spare Me spare tire mount actually mounts to your spare tire unlike some other brands.The 963 can easily accommodate 2 bikes of any size or style weighing up to 75 pounds.Your bikes rest securely in padded cradles that are easily adjusted.Ratcheting straps secure your bikes to the rack allowing you to have piece of mind knowing that your bikes will still be there when you arrive at your destination.A keyed locking knob will give piece of mind that your bike rack will be right there when you get back from your ride.
The Allen 4 bike Deluxe Spare tire mount is 
designed to be mounted in a hitch receiver on your vehicle.It extends beyond the spare tire mounted on your vehicle.As the name implies,this unit will hold up to four bicycles.Which is nice for the typical family of four,or two couples out for a group ride.It comes with a no “wiggle” hitch pin to reduce swaying of the hitch.Assembly and mounting of the hitch is done in minutes.
The Allen Racks Deluxe 3 bike rack is a three bike rack designed to actually mount to the tire itself.A metal frame work sits on top of the tire to carry the weight of the bikes.A set of adjustable straps hold the rack to the tire.Straps secure the bikes to the rack for traveling.This unit is easily removable for when you arrive at your destination or when you are at home.
Getting out and riding bikes is not only a fun thing to do with family and friends,but it is good for your health and good for the environment.If you live close enough to some prime riding trails you most certainly are lucky.But if you are not then a spare tire bike rack may be just what you need to transport your bicycles to your favorite national,state or county park to enjoy a day of fun and adventure.
Remember to always be safe and where a proper fitting helmet when riding.
