    I'm looking for a vertical bicycle carrier to carry up 5 bikes. Cant find anything available in SA. Any suggestions or experience with these types of carriers? I see there are good brands out there but no one seems to stock them in SA: https://www.velocirax.com/ https://www.twowheelingtots.com/yakima-hangtight-bike-rack-review/ https://yakima.com/products/hangtight-4?_ga=2.102264513.1149485538.1651034969-1160981778.1651034969 Thanks

    Good day all, I'd appreciate your feedback on loading bikes onto a rack, specifically a 3 bike hanging rack, Thule raceway 3, with one adult, one junior and one kiddies bike, without any bikes touching. Additionally, how safe is the Thule frame adapter, and has it ever come loose? I have found that resting the junior bike on it's bottom tube of the triangle effectively raising it above the rack, with the adult bike on the frame adapter, assists in keeping spacing between the bikes, though the junior bike is then not 'hanging'. Is this recommended for loading or with that much of weight above the rack, does it cause the bike to sway or fall over? Additionally, is it common practice to turn the bar to align with the top tube, to avoid the bar going through the spokes of the next bike? And do I remove the pedals to avoid them knocking into the vehicle or the next bike? I'm welcome to suggestions for short, 50km, or 1000km journeys. Trust my explanation is clear. edit- pic attached. the kiddies bike will have the bar turned so as to keep the wheel flush and not protruding. Ideally, I would like all bikes to be only as high as the first bike, though the wheels rub against the gear selector and levers. Will play around with a few more setups, with pool noodles or try 'wrapping' the bikes in foam to avoid contact.

    Hi Does anyone know what mounting kit is needed to fit Thule bars in Securi lid? or is it a custom made thing?

    Hi guys. Has anyone got any suggestions on a roof rack carrier for a tandem? I know Thule make one but it is prohibitively expensive, R8k to R10K. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be welcome. Matt

    A TreeFrog bike carrier is quite literally the last bike carrier you will ever need to buy. Whether you change cars often, like to switch between several household cars, or simply cannot justify the cost of a tow bar or roof racks plus a bike rack to transport your bike, a TreeFrog bike carrier is your final solution. Any bike, and car, any time. No tow bar or roof racks required. Fits and removes in under 1 minute without the need for a single tool!

    Anyone us this ugly duckling that can give me some feedback? Seems like good value for a two-bike carrier. How does bikes actually secure to the upright part? Easy to use? Solid quality? Any security - bike lock etc? How does it look folded - semi neat? Thanks

    Does anyone here have experience or know some that used a cash crusaders bike rack?

    I need some advise when mounting a Buzz Rack - Buzzybee 2, the rack get tightened using a bolt nut, I've noticed on some occasions the rack sways slightly either to the left or right even though I securely mounted and tightened the rack to the towbar. Is there a way I can prevent this? I can tighten the bolt but feel that if I make it too tight, something might snap or break

    The Saris Bones is a boot mounted design which has been around for some time and claims to offer a sturdy tow bar free solution with bike protection in-mind. Although convenient and generally less pricey, boot mounted bicycle racks are notoriously unstable, often rubbing and scratching their precious cargo. We were interested to see just how well Saris' three bike version, the Saris Bones 3, would fair. Click here to view the article

    Whether just a short drive to your local trail or a weekend road trip, a bike rack is a likely essential in your cycling travels. The Saris Thelma-3 is a tow ball mounted bike carrier which, as the name suggests, holds up to three bikes. Click here to view the article

    Bike racks are an essential part of cycling. With some costing more than an basic bicycle, it is important to weigh up your options and be honest with what it is you need. I have always been a fan of tow ball bike racks with a "load on" design. They keep your bike safe and secure and stop it from getting damaged from dangling around. The Freedom was my first experience with a bike rack from Saris and I was keen to see what they had to offer. Click here to view the article

    Hi all, A long while ago I bought a 2ndhand Toyota RAV4 (2005 model) which, by design, have a spare wheel mounted on the back (booth) door. It also had a customised tow bar (in form of it being welded with additional steel bars to make it longer to reach beyond the spare wheel). I have that tow bar removed and sold because I never needed one. My MTB was transported mostly in the back, with back seats removed or folded flat. However, over time I got tired of loading / unloading the bike plus I now must share space with the "boss (wife)" in terms of additional baggage in booth. So, I want to transport my MTB outside the SUV. So, my options are as follows: (a) definitely NO tow bar again, because it will cause me lot of grief in terms of it being at a low angle underneath the SUV as well as requiring welding to extend its reach, meaning it will be closer to ground, as well as hitting speed bumps, etc (which did happened a lot with the original tow bar before I had it removed). Also, a Thule Euro bike rack mounted on a tow bar will prevent me from opening the 5th door / accessing the boot, unless I remove bikes from tow bar rack before I can open the door. (b) roof racks are not an option, ever, due to height of SUV involved, as well as the messy issues of MTB (bugs, dirt, etc) as well as garage issues. Which lefts me with a "rack-on-spare wheel" option which also sounds like a more sensible option because it is easy to get access to the booth with bikes hanging off the wheel. But my problem is that the Thule "Spare Me" rack does not fit the RAV4 spare wheel design. What else are my options? Can anyone give me some advice, please? Thanks in advance.

    www.gocyclingonline.co.za Finally, a bike carrier that’s easy to install and won’t damage your car! SeaSucker bike racks use our incredibly strong vacuum mounts and allow you to temporarily but securely mount your bike to the roof of your car without the hassle of permanently attaching any hardware. SeaSuckers are non-marking, UV and weather resistant, and hold exceptionally well to glass or metal surfaces. Includes one Rear Wheel Strap (15cm SeaSucker with hook-and-loop straps) to secure your bike’s rear wheel and keep the tail from sliding left or right. This rack has one fork clamp attached to three 15cm SeaSuckers. Rack body made of 1/2″ HDPE, which makes it strong enough to hold your bike yet flexible enough to follow the curve of your roof line. Designed to mount to your roof and front windshield, but can be used just about anywhere – on the roof, on the trunk, etc. Approximate size: 38cm x 30.5cm. Comes with the Delta Bike Hitch Pro fork mount, which is lockable and heavy-duty. Also, it opens wide enough when you release the lever that you don’t have to tighten or loosen the acorn nut on the opposite side every time you put your bike in or take your bike out of the mount. Some assembly may be required.

    Hi guys, I've seen a few bakkies in stellenbosch with decent 'covers' for the tailgates which are then used to just chuck bike on the back. How much do these covers cost and where can I look for them etc etc? Dawels
